I'm done with church as most people know it.
It's not wrong, but it's not right enough.
True community has to be small-scale. Larger groups try; they create "small groups", where people try to come every week and study the Bible. But that usually not the same thing. A small group of people or families that knows each other well, where each could trust every other with their lives, because of their faith in Christ - that's how life and the Church is supposed to be. It's nearly impossible to find these days. And now that I've found it, I don't think I'm ever going back. Not for more than a visit.

you know... i think you find good community in smaller groups, but you cant be isolated from the larger or else, these small tight communities become islands withdrawn from reality and the CHURCH... which is one body... so love the smaller, but regard the larger too
That's a good point.(Obviously I was a bit emotional when I wrote this...) God has also been expanding my view of the church universal, in that the larger youth group I'm involved with is very intentional about spreading the gospel both at home and in other countries.
