		<description><![CDATA[Here's the old thought that was confirmed in a new way in this passage:  today's churches are too often willing to sacrifice community for "the ministry." The modern American church is gifted, no doubt, but we're not good at relationships.  We are in danger of spending lots of time and effort creating and designing programs that run well leaving little time or energy to disciple people who relate well.  But no matter how "quality" the  ministry is, if the quality of our relationships with one another is weak, the "ministry" will eventually collapse or cave in.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cruciformlife.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4406220&amp;post=3829&amp;subd=cruciformlife&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
