Tim Keller, Buildings for Community:
“...the quality of our community is the real secret of Christian growth. Jesus did not educate
his disciples in a classroom. A classroom is just one part of your life. Classroom relation-
ships bring students together mainly at the cognitive level. But Jesus incorporated his disci-
ples into a community of persons who lived together, ate together, and therefore were in
contact with one another’s personal, social, emotional, and spiritual lives as well. Communi-
ties are places not just for information-transfer but for modeling and growth in wisdom. Only
in that setting will the gospel be worked into the fabric of our daily lives and into our hearts.”
