"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." - Acts 2:42
Life is so good in the Body of Christ, which is also known as the Fellowship of Believers, the Communion of Saints, and the Church.
Most of you know that I'm a pastor. But recently, I've been at a lot of church gatherings, not because I'm a pastor, but because life is so good in the Body of Christ.
For example, Wednesday was dinner, worship, and dessert fellowship. Thursday was jail ministry and jaw-dropping work of God that I'll tell you about on Monday. Friday was God's presence with a number of hurting souls and lost souls and then dinner with friends in Christ.
Our young adult kids were happily at a combination of ministries in different states and countries, and they also just "hung out" with good Christian friends.
I tell you all this because there are hundreds of you who read this devotion, but not all of you are enjoying all that's available to you in the Fellowship of Believers.
I realize that hurtful or disappointing things happened to many of you in a church, but there are so many more positives available for you going forward than there are negatives behind you.
Besides, the Everlasting and Eternal Heaven is going to have other believers in it, so you might as well start to enjoy it now!
Get involved in a church. And if you are involved, get more involved and/or invite others to get involved.
Because life is so good in the Body of Christ. So good! That's why in days of old "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42).
Praise God!
