NEXT DOOR - the ART of NEIGHBORING

ACTS 17 (NIV)
24 (Paul spoke to the Athenians,) “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in (houses) built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’”

The ART of NEIGHBORING OVERTURNS the AKWARDNESS and SELFISHNESS of ISOLATION

Who are your neighbors?
Stranger —> Acquaintance —> Relationship

ROMANS 12 (NIV)
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
