My answer to that question, however is a different observation as I focused primarily on God's relational desire. I think you are on to something though, but I just took a different route to that question. paul http://www.pauldelsignore.com Joe,

I am currently teaching a class at our church on True Spirituality arguing basically this same point. It is amazing how clear it is in the NT that spirituality is intrinsicaly community oriented and rooted in every day life- in contrast to our privatized, mystical versions. Just take the command to be filled with the Spirit in Eph 5:18. There has been all sorts of discussionon what this looks like but Paul himself describes it in the following verses: corporate worship (speaking to 'one another'; v19), thanksgiving (appraently in a corporate seeting acc to context; v20), and relating to one anoterh (the church) properly (v21). This topic of Spirit-filled living then leads right into the discusion of the home. True spirituality is earthy. Fee's God's Empowering Presence is really good on this. Thansk again! Great post.

Micah 6:8 is one of my most favorite verses and I've used it a lot pertaining to things about being loving towards others. God even in the Old Testament was less concerned about is following the law...instead, he wants our hearts and minds to be right. Good stuff, and I'm looking foward to your next post on the matter.
