Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

What can we learn from this powerful example about the true church? #1 NO MENTION OF TITHING, none ZERO, NADA, gosh, according to todays babylonian form of christianity, you'd think the christians spoken about here in acts followed a different Jesus!!!! Why would believers sell their stuff and share it with fellow believers? TRUE DEEP LOVE AND DEVOTION TO EACH OTHER, no compulsion, nobody told them they had to do anything, NO FEAR NO COERSION. Compare and contrast this model to todays message from the wolves in sheeps clothing...They broke bread from house to house...wait a minute, NO PASTOR collecting all the money and building a huge building as a monument to himself? NOPE. I don't see any media here, no television ministry, no ad campaign, no flyers, yet their NUMBERS GREW DAILY. Wait a minute! From what I hear from today's wolves we have to keep feeding them cash so they can spread the word! In the bible account we see above, WHO ADDED TO THEIR NUMBERS DAILY???????

And THE LORD was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. That's right, THE LORD added to their numbers day by day. Does the Lord need million dollar "sanctuaries" television campaigns, corporate jets and slick willy preachers to spread his message???? I GUESS NOT. Repent, pray, stay in the faith, seek the Creator's face and HE will build his kingdom. Turn away from the babylonian prostitute that masquerades as christianity today..grace and peace
