Comments on: ★ Selfish Community http://www.toddhiestand.com/selfish-community/12/ Field Notes on Bi-Vocational Church Leadership in Suburban America Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:10:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gerald http://www.toddhiestand.com/selfish-community/12/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Gerald Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.toddhiestand.com/?p=21#comment-6 Todd, Some good stuff here. I think that everything you're saying is right on the mark. I also think that it's important to ground these ideas in biblical exegesis. If I remember correctly, Crabb doesn't spend a lot of time exegeting scripture (which is fine) but as a pastor I would really strive to demonstrate these truths from scripture, not just logic. What passage(s) are you going to be preaching out of? I also think that the doctrin of the trinity (as Crabb points out)is very significant in regards to this whole subject. Interestingly, there has been a resurgence in trinitarian theology as of late and I can't help but think that this relates to fact that so many are starving for true relationships and community. Well, I'm off. Keep after it! Gerald Todd,
