Let's Dance! by L K Mercer

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47

      If we had continued in this way, we would have taken the world for God by now! Why did we stop? Where is our unity? What happened to our "awe"? What happened to our "glad and sincere hearts"? We can always point our finger in many directions, but maybe we should check the mirror first? Do I have a "glad and sincere heart"? Do I live with "awe"? Do I give without holding back?
     What do you think? This isn't an impossible dream or goal, it did happen and it's what is our ancestry as Christians, if we still lived this way, people wouldn't use the title "Christian" as a derogatory title! They would want to join us! Let's get back to what we are supposed to do, we were called to worship, prayer and fellowship! If we were truly dancing in God's fields of grace, the world would definitely want to join us! Let's do it! Let's Dance!
