community

Today I finished up the wisdom series, or biblical decision-making, at Tapestry.

Your preview:

"When we claim that God told me such-and-such or led me to this-or-that, we disable the counsel of the community of God, another vital aspect of wisdom. Who needs others to help if God is in direct communication with us?"

This series draws on the training and experience of several pastors and community leaders. It's designed to help small group leaders build community and creativity.

You can find more small group leadership training material at Bluefish TV.

Some of the authors of the Bible used a writing technique called chiasm. It's where the outside statements work in parallel to each other, coming together and pointing to the center statement as the crux of it all. Like a cross. A1, B1, C1, D, C2, B2, A2.

Or sometimes the middle will be two statements reflecting each other (a D1 or D2).

I like writing techniques.
