And they continued daily steadfastly in the apostle's teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Acts 2:42,43
And they continued daily steadfastly in the apostle's teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Acts 2:42,43
Three thousand people from out of town were just saved and one hundred twenty new disciples were about to experience a life-changing event! They would take these new converts in and feed and house them all as many as they could including their family members who were coming in from their hometowns!
If this were to happen today, I would doubt the church would lay down everything to help a multitude of people, the problem being we have millions of church members who are untrained and would not know how to disciple someone much less invite them to live with them! The first church in Acts was a model for us to follow in these last days and God intended to bring about a great harvest of souls but the laborers I am afraid are few!
Our lives are too busy, and we are consumed with the lust and pleasures of this world and not with the saving of souls, after all, that's the pastor's job, right? No, it's ours, and someday we will stand at the judgment seat of Christ where we will be judged by what we did and didn't do!
Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. Acts 2:44,45
