Young people don't want phoniness because they can see right through it. And if their going to become the community of Christ, the community of Believers, we've got to take the phoniness and be honest because other wise they will be out there doing their thing and Central, like many other churches, will eventually die. So we need a community that is going to carry on the great dynamic work of Central Church. So Luke says share it. Share it without being phony.
Community means knowing and sharing.
And so today I could get a little hum going and run down out of the pulpit, but that's not going to make community. Community is becoming involved with humanness. And as I said this morning, community is incarnate, incarnational. I don't know a lot of this or that. And when you have community that can share the incarnation of Christ Jesus, that because of the cross there is somebody who is willing to love you just as you are.
