There is a tremendous lack of love among churches today. Little or no discipleship is carried on in churches, and the truths of the faith are not being entrusted to the next generation. Current church models are neither solidly biblical nor can they function in a postmodern culture. However, if Christians truly love each other and live near enough to do life together, they will find their fullest satisfaction in God and lead others to enjoy Him forever.
I have found that I have a deep desire to live in community with other like-minded believers. I long to be with other Christians in an environment in which we live in close community so that we can go through this life together.
As Christians we need to return to studying our Bibles and Christians doctrine. We Christian men need to step up and learn to be leaders in the Church. Christ is our Head, and being at His feet in Heaven is our goal. Our earthly jobs do not matter; only our Christian job on earth matters, and that is to glorify God by enjoying Him and sharing His transforming, rejuvenating power with the world.
The rewards of living in close community with other like-minded believers is well worth it. It will take some time due to financial restraints, but living in community with believers is a good as life gets on earth, even though it is much tougher than the average American life.
Christ set up His Church to be a body. There is no need for it to be separated so drastically. If Christians return to doing life together, the Church will expand and Christians will find innumerable joys in imitating Christ together.
