We always talk about looking like an Acts or 1st century church. There
was a commitment to one another. A brotherhood, generosity, sharing of
material possessions. Please don't judge people based on your personal
convictions. Don't make the act of being superior spiritually about your
actions or how you worship. I cannot find where one or the other makes
you right or wrong. We should instead focus on generosity and taking
care of one another. It does no good to have any one boast in a
particular worship style while needy people are outside the church.
Please be generous to someone today.

What, as the Christian Church, we need.............
As I have devotion this morning a thought process was started.
Generosity may be our biggest need in church today but we seem to make
church about worship styles. At least we do in the circles I socialize
in and people from school discuss it a lot. Do we need lasers and smog
machines? Should we dance and shout? A lot of people focus on King David
and his dancing before the ark. We like to use this as a focal point or
to make a declaration of one worship style over another. But
this is one thing he did, he also poorly planned the move of the ark.
Stopped after a man died. Grew angry with God. Committed adultery and
murder, united the kingdom, gathered supplies to build a temple. We
never focus on just those events. We can no more make David only about
his one recorded dance than we can Peter only about his denial of Jesus
(and Peter did that 3 times).
