The Case for Community ~ Part 2



The second case for community that Russ Robinson presented is The Sociological Case. No one should ever stand alone. We need community for the following reasons:

  • We need the input of others regarding plans and decision making. Plans succeed with many advisors. Proverbs 15:22
  • We get strength from others during hard times. The person who is alone when he falls is to be pitied. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
  • We need accountability. We are sharpened and grow in the context of community. Proverbs 27:17

What sociological reasons could you add to the list? Does the quality and quantity of our relationships really matter? Next time I will summarize The Organizational Case for Community.
