The Fellowship of the Believers

Read Acts 2: 42-47 (NIV)

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42

Whatever happened to just doing the basics? Has the word "basics" become a bad word? That does not seem to be the message given to us in God's word.

God's message is simple yet life transforming. How often do you read about the disciples seeking to discover the latest method for church planting. They followed the plan that Christ taught. How often do we follow these same basics?

How would it effect the world if the church began doing just the basics? Even though doing the basics doesn't seem relevant to our post-modern society Christians have argued that the Bible is relevant for every age.

There is a movement calling believers to discover the joy of just doing the basics. Simple Church is an attempt to return to the basics of the New Testament and its' message of hope for the future. God gives us a glimpse of the possibilities whenever his children are willing to just do the basics.

Prayer

Heavenly Father thank you for the salvation you have given me through grace. Help me to get back to the basics so that in all I do I bring honor and glory to you. Amen.
