It's great to see a bit of a shift in our "American Rugged Individualism." We are finally starting to come to grips with a bigger picture of the body of Christ. Some are catching on, others still think they can have God out by themselves all weekend. It's not that God's not there, it's just that God has organized this social thing of humanity into families. The family of God is a priority(at least it should be). If it isn't for you, you are missing out on one of the great assets of your life.
Acts 2:42-47 is a portrait of the family of God in the early church. Characterized by....
- Learning together
- Communion
- Prayer
- Miracles
- Common life
- Excess of one, met the needs of others
- Received food with glad and generous hearts
- Praised God
- Grew numerically
- People saved
A vibrant community...I pray your a part of one, I pray you invest in one, I pray your not using one, I pray the riches of God alive in each life, is a blessing to all the others. I pray most, that God is lifted high in each one, I thank God for the ultimate one we get to enjoy some day through faith in Jesus.
