Post 6 (10/19)

What really strikes me about comparing our lives and church experiences to those of the early churches is centered around one word: community. While they spent probably hours upon hours together worshiping, studying and becoming one unit, we today (myself included) look at church at putting in our time with God. Once that hour is up, then it's back home for a nice day of watching football from my couch. Maybe that's why it was so much easier for them to be such a tight-knit community that they would literally sell their possessions if someone was in need. It would be tough for me to part ways with my iPod, XBox, computer, etc. I could say I would, but it's easier said than done. That is what makes their community, in the real sense of the word, so much more admirable.
