Opinions

Wouldn't life be pathetic if our opinions never mattered? it's bad enough when our opinions are shoved aside, but it's an entire different topic when our opinions are never even thought to have mattered. my house reminds me of 3's a crowd sometimes. Steven, Denise and I all have opinions and often they don't jive. it's something when we all choose to do something different, and yet want to do something with the others. lately i've wanted to play dominoes at every given opportunity and Denise wants to read of play a computer game. Steven has wanted to ebay, as usual, but sometimes he decides to read or clean... (LOL) anyway, i don't know how the early church did it when there were hundreds of Christians contributing to the same cause: the Gospel being preached.

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he 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 2:44-47}

"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. {Acts 4:32-34}
