I recently learned that I've been missing a big part of what made the early church grow because a limited understanding of one phrase from Acts 4 - "They had all things in common..." I always thought that meant that if I needed something that you had, you would share it with me. I'm sure it meant that, but a recent trip to South Africa taught me a much deeper meaning. What if we all (all the various "brands" of church) started praying for ways to love our neighbors and enemies? What if we all started praying for the boldness and the grace to lay down our own lives? Acts would come alive, wouldn't it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-83686902974203808622007-04-17T12:52:00.000-05:002007-04-17T12:52:00.000-05:00thanks for highlighting this. ...thanks for highlighting this. ...Sivin Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502268089572043872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-28712174025777533122007-04-17T01:33:00.000-05:002007-04-17T01:33:00.000-05:00excellent, yes that is were we must return today i...excellent, yes that is were we must return today in regards to being sent and loving our neighbors. I too believe recapturing biblical hospitality is a big part of the picture.brad briscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260894325252150384noreply@blogger.com
