the other morning i was reading the words of acts chapter 4, where it talks about all the believers sharing their possessions. it says things like, "no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything that had."
last wednesday night at DIG i taught on luke 6 where it talks about loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you. it talks about giving to everyone who asks, and ultimately talks about doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.
all of this really got me to thinking about how far this world is from what it was originally designed to be.
but really, i just wonder what the world would really be like, what it would really look like if we took these words from luke and acts seriously. i mean really seriously, to the point where it changed the way that we lived our lives.
part of me feels like it wouldn't really make a difference, because there are such a large number of people that are not living that way. but i hate the thought of being about logic that sounds like that. i really want to strive to figure out how i can take these words from luke and acts really seriously, completely seriously, as i live out the every day of my life.
i am really not sure what it looks like, but i pray that i might be able to figure it out a little bit at a time...
