My question: Can this happen nowadays at a local church and if not can it start at a house church?
Based on Acts 4:32, it says, "Now the COMPANY of believers was of ONE heart and soul, and NOT ONE OF THEM claimed that anything which he possessed was [excusively] his own, but EVERYTHING they had was in COMMON and for the USE OF ALL" (Amplified). Please take note that this is ONE COMPANY OF BELIEVERS beating as one and not one of them sees his possession as his own but as belonging to all and to be used to help the needy ones. I believe that God is pleased with them for in v 33, we read that, "great grace (lovingkindness and favour and goodwill) rested richly upon them all." When this happens, we are indeed obeying our Lord Jesus new commandment to love another. In Jn 13:35, Jesus says, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." We can then impact the world around us; having favour with all the people. And the Lord will add to the church daily those who are being saved. Hi friends, any suggestions to get this going? How can we work this out with the Pastor, etc? Care to share? Because of Him,
