Email, texting, Twitter, Facebook and the like have opened up the world to us and made communication easier than ever. But while the globe feels like it's getting smaller, it is also becoming less personal. We can chat online with our college buddy in China and meanwhile not even know the names of those living next door to us. Only a couple of generations ago in America, being a "good neighbor" meant something entirely different than it does today and one must ask themselves if this is a good thing or not. Most importantly, the bible actually has much to say on the topic of being a "good neighbor" and what that entails. Is it possible that there are rich relationships just waiting over the fence? Could the greatest ministry fulfillment lay just around the corner? Could life change be just a BBQ away? If so, how do we get there? What would God have us to do? How exactly do we become Good Neighbors? Come and see!
