He who loves his dream community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.
We enter into Christian community not as demanders but as thankful recipients. We do not complain about what God does not give us; we rather thank God for what he does give us daily.
Fellowship is founded on Jesus Christ – it is by grace that we meet.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
