Jerry Bridges Biblical Quotations

Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.

The sin of worldliness is a preoccupation with the things of this temporal life. It's accepting and going along with the views and practices of society around us without discerning if they are biblical. I believe that the key to our tendencies toward worldliness lies primarily in the two words “going along”. We simply go along with the values and practices of society.

Biblical love is not emotions or feelings, but attitudes and actions that seek the best interests of the other person, regardless of how we feel toward him.

A willingness to share our possessions with one another is a very important aspect of true biblical community.
