The Power of Community

One of the best new shows of this season is the comedy " Community" that airs on Thurs. nights on NBC. It's witty, clever, and pushes an agenda.  In the first episode, we learned that truth is relative( one of the characters actually states this), that the show surrounds itself around a group of unlike people ( or a community), and that intergenerational mentorship is an important part of life. why else would Chevy Chase be seated next to Joel McHale?  Yet, they are spreading some beliefs that have been around since the beginning of time.  Ones that the Bible supports. 

The first thing in Genesis that God says is " not good", is the fact the Holy Spirit.  Many times throughout the New Testament, Paul talks about the importance of others, whether in the church body or outside of it).  1 John and Titus  are  prime examples of the importance of older people "sharpening" the younger generation, and vice versa. 

The truth is relative issue is a tricky one. God's word is timeless and God is never changing, yet he calls us " to be like a jew" no matter what that person may be like. The truth is, no matter whether the person believes in the Bible or doesn't, believes in truth or doesn't or believes that God is anything but love or doesn't, one thing is clear.

Matthew 28, which says " Go into all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and surely I am with you until the very end of the age."
