Uncommon Hospitality

Think about this scripture:

Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Act 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

That was pretty uncommon then, how much more uncommon is it in today’s culture.
In today’s frequency of natural disasters, economic upheaval, and terroristic fears, the world is hoping that the church will “show up.”

As the church, we cannot disconnect ourselves from the community. Their problem is our problem. It's a pretty uncommon way of thinking.

In the last couple of months we have seen outbreaks of Ecoli in a surrounding town, major corporations in Mid America Industrial Park here in Pryor close their doors, resulting in massive lay-offs, and a ever increasing awareness of the uncertain.

What is our response to these misfortunes? I believe the church's greatest days are still ahead of us!

Just a thought for you to ponder today.

God Bless
