That should change the way we see our shared life together as communities of faith, too. We don't gather to get ready to go to heaven; rather we encourage one another to order our lives in such a way to witness to our confidence in God's plan for every facet of our lives. The fruit that is produced--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control--enriches the community of faith and all who encouter it.</p>ashleyrandallWed, 26 Aug 2009 12:21:57 -0000
