Apostolic Doctrine and Oneness

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 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.  So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,  praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.(Acts 2:42-47)

With so many opinions today, not just in the world, but in the church,  we are losing the oneness Christ prayed for earnestly in John 17. But even more than that, we are getting away from the basic apostolic priciples trying to please this group and that group.

Be wary of social trends and politics correctness. There is no place for it in the Body. Just the basic breaking of bread . . . genuine fellowship among believers as we remember what Christ has done . . . . sharing testimonies . . . expressing gratitude . . . communicating needs . . . reading His Word and discussing it  . . . we must get back to basics within the Body!
