I realize that the New Testament Church did not have their own building to meet in. I also realize that the New Testament Church is the same Church alive and well today even though some things have changed.
I would like to think that we do everything exactly like the earliest model of church but I also believe that is not practical in our current culture. However, I am confident that one thing is still very much the same. God is in charge and He is calling people to Himself and it is the Churches responsibility to share the good news to them. Sometimes we find them and sometimes they find us.
Someone called me this morning, broken and in need of direction. I am honored and humbled to think that God considers me able to minister to such a person. I look forward to it. I pray that a changed life is at hand and God continues to work His wonders as we continue to faithfully serve.
By the way, you might be wondering how he found us. Call it divine intervention, or perhaps blind luck, or it could be that he passes by our building project every day. A building can be a beacon of hope, but only if God's grace can be found among the people inside of it. "We should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God." Acts 15:19
Love them and share the good news of God grace. Capture their hearts and you will acquire their hands. God knew what He was doing. Thank Him for that.
