The life of someone who doesn’t live in community involves too much commuting. They must drive to others’ houses to provide cooperative homeschooling. They must drive to church and other people’s houses for worship and prayer. They must drive to other people’s houses to help with home repairs, share a meal, or spend time with other Christians. The men cannot disciple the young men well, and the women are equally hampered in training up the young women. Furthermore, new converts cannot see how Christians raise their children together because Christians do not live near each other.
Not only do those attending a communal church not have to worry about all these drawbacks, but they also have the opportunity to combine to impact their community. Secondly, they have a working demonstration of love to show the watching world. This greatly helps with evangelism and possessing an unshakable worldview.
