TODAY’S SCRIPTURE | Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-5:11
The experience of God’s grace and the Spirit creates a surprising, deep fellowship, one that is marked by devotion to God’s word, prayer, and the sharing of all of life, including one’s resources. We see a community life that is both “attractive in its love and terrifying in its holiness”. Such fellowship is deep, energetic and costly, but in today’s individualistic world where we value our personal independence and freedom from commitments, we often experience a cheap and superficial imitation.
