Michael Horton Quotes
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.
