something that has a lot of heat to something that has very little heat.

It's just how nature works. If you put a cold pot of water over a fire,

the pot and water get hot. We use this principle in everything from

power plants to automobiles. In the church, since love is the operating

principle, there is a similar natural flow that we see in the early

church. In fact, the church of Jesus Christ should always act like this.

Many of those in the first century who became believers also were in

great financial need. And those who had resources naturally rose up to

meet that need - even at personal sacrifice and expense. What has

changed in the church today? Perhaps a key to the impact that the church

should have in our world is how normal this kind of activity is in the

body of Christ!
