Acts 2:42-47 Wow! Now THAT's Church!

Man, I LOVED what I read in these verses and what my commentary had to add!

"The early church did more than make converts; they also made disciples."

"The church was unified (v. 44), magnified (v. 47a), and multiplied (v.47b).  It had a powerful testimony among the unsaved Jews ... because of the way the members of the fellowship loved each and served the Lord."

"The Christians you meet in the book of Acts were not content to meet once a week for services as usual.  They met daily, cared daily, won souls daily, searched the Scriptures daily, and increased in number daily.  Their Christian faith was a day-to-day reality, not a once-a-week routine.  Why?  Because the risen Christ was a living reality to them, and His resurrection power was at work in their lives through the Spirit."

Wow, Father!  Energize us like that!
 
Your Brother In Christ,
