“The key to maturity is time and community. Discernment and godly wisdom develop in a community that spans generations. The church is called to be this place where the [God's] Spirit uses normal patterns and rhythms of the Christian life in a community, so that we may bear fruit like a well-watered tree. Despite common appearances, the church is the place where God's new creation is coming into existence and being sustained by the Spirit like a great vineyard.” WellsMayUseChristianSpiritCommunityChurchCommonExistenceGenerationsTreeCreationKeysBearsNormalFruitPatternsAppearanceChristian LifeDespiteRhythmMaturityGodlyDiscernmentVineyards Author:Michael Horton
“The community in Utah was very religious. I was a typical teenage girl trying to find my sexuality. Unfortunately, girls do use their sexuality to find attention.

“The color and spectacle of Mexico's streets sparked my interest in community driven space and experience, a passion that I began to develop while studying architecture at Syracuse University and then at the Architectural Association School in London.

“In education, it is said that the state must impose schooling on all children, else the parents and communities will neglect it. Only the state can make sure that no child is left behind. The only question is the means: will we use the union and bureaucracies favored by the left, or the market incentives and vouchers favored by the right. I don't want to get into a debate about which means is better, but only to draw attention to the reality that these are both forms of planning that compromise the freedom of families to manage their own affairs.” WantMeanChildrenSaidStatesUseRealityFormLeftParentCommunityBehindsAttentionDrawsUnionsAffairDebatePlanningManageCompromiseNeglectBureaucracyIncentivesLeft BehindSchoolingVouchers Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
“Ought to have a universal compulsory force to move and arrange each part in the manner best suited to the whole. Just as nature gives each man an absolute power over all his members, the social compact gives the body politic an absolute power over all its members." "We grant that each person alienates, by the social compact, only that portion of his power, his goods, and liberty whose use is of consequence to the community; but we must also grant that only the sovereign is the judge of what is of consequence.” MenGivingPersonsWholeUseBodyMovingForceSocialCommunityLibertyHe ManJudgingOughtMembersConsequenceUniversalAbsolutesGoodsGrantsPortionsSovereignCompactCompulsoryAbsolute Power Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“We allow it to be dumped into this community asset, which is our one and only atmosphere. So that has to change, and there's really only one entity that can do that. So we have proposed a cap-and-trade system to stop that unlimited pollution, to use the forces of the market to efficiently allocate scarce permits to allow CO2 into the atmosphere. That's just one of 500 things we need to do, but it's probably the granddaddy of them all.” NeedsUseForceCan DoCommunityTradeAtmosphereJust OneAssetsPermitPollutionEntityUnlimitedCapsScarceDumpedCo2Granddaddy Author:Jay Inslee
