Acts 2:42

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”

                This sentence is a description of the early church, and the way they would fellowship together. They would eat, pray and study together. I’ve found that the most important word in this sentence to me is “continued”. They didn’t do it once and check it off their list of “Important Christianity To-Do’s”, or set just one or two days a week to drag together – it was a continual process.

                The early church spent time together as we so often don’t do. In fact, we have garage door openers specifically designed to keep us from having to do so. We lock doors instead of arms.

                We need to learn how to stop closing up and being “independent Americans” and instead, learn to spend time with each other. I personally need to spend continual time in fellowship and prayer with others. Today, I will spend time praying with at least one person – and will continue to do so for the rest of the week.
