The believers in the early church were willing to sell their possessions for the sake of meeting the needs of others. This flowed from the “generous hearts” that God had created in them.
In the early church there were disagreements. They solved these disagreements by seeking God’s will together and then respecting those in authority God had placed over them.
The early church was less like the social organization we call the “church” today and more like a family. That fact should still shape the church today.
Many believe the battle is primarily defensive: I go about my life ready whenever Satan attacks. But Jesus describes our mission as offensive: we are part of an army designed to beat down the gates of hell wherever we encounter them in our world
God has equipped us to face the accusations and physical attacks of the Devil…so that when he accuses us or seeks to harm us, we won’t give in to fear or dismay.
