k on projects that
cannot be tackled alone. Having helped one another for 20 years, they say
they’re now bonded together like one big family. A similar group has formed in
Snohomish, Washington. Their motto is: “Will Work For Friends.”
The concern of these groups for their friends reminds me of the early church
(Acts 4:32-37). During this time of great persecution of believers, they
especially needed the support of one another. Some people voluntarily sold their
lands or houses and brought the proceeds to the apostles, and “they distributed
to each as anyone had need” (v.35). They were of “one heart” and “had all things
in common” (v.32).
As followers of Christ today, we too need the spiritual support and
encouragement of one another. We may be struggling with a decision about how to
serve the Lord, or concerned about a problem at work, or unsure of how to
discipline a rebellious child. These are good opportunities to enlist the advice
and prayer of fellow Christians.
Through love, let’s serve one another—physically and spiritually—in the
family of God (Gal. 5:13). —Anne Cetas
Christians stand strong when they stand together.
For those who are struggling with their weaknesses, family & study, God knows our pain and feelings. Let's STAND and get STRENGTHEN from GOD~
