Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42

Continuing stedfastly in doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers are ordinary things in a Christian’s life. The early church did these things simply from their passion for God, love for one another and their desire to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our churches today have strayed far, very far, from what God would consider things ordinary. Today’s church considers things ordinary as attending Sunday morning service, sometimes Sunday night service and very rarely Wednesday night service. The church today has brought secular activities into the realm of righteousness, hoping to appeal to today’s culture. This tactic seems to be successful in building numbers, but it is not successful in building righteous relationships among the church body.

We, as the body of Christ, must realize that the church was not made to attend. It was made for participation on the behalf of every member. The ordinary church never came in and sat down for a series of meetings. They met, worshipped and went from house to house breaking bread and spreading the Gospel.

The church must realize we have almost lost a generation of our young people. We have complicated the ordinary things of God in this day and time. We have veered so far from the ordinary things listed in our Scripture that we would not recognize a real church as it is described in Acts.

God is calling His church to return to being stedfast in doctrine, fellowship, communion, prayer and holiness. These are things ordinary in the eyes of God.
