Sensibility

The family is strengthened because it brings with it a certain sensibility. This sensibility flows from its ability to acquire and live out of a common belief and understanding. The family that comes together around the gospel knows that it is sensible to believe that where two or three are gathered (even in the name of Jesus) there in the midst of them will be an abundance of sin. Finding a new family won’t solve this problem.
