Are we really all in?

Take the time to meditate on these verses from Acts 2:42-47. While reading, let's ask ourselves: Are we really all in?

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)

To be all in required commitment and sacrifice. It requires teamwork. It requires discipline. Lets' take a closer look at what disciples did in fact practice:
  • continued in the apostles doctrine (teaching)
  • fellowship/prayer
  • togetherness/community
  • unselfishness
  • regular worship
  • simple living.
What if we put these things into practice?

How would things change? 

Perhaps God would add to the Church in record numbers once again! Some things to ponder and pray.
