    The church should have an attitude -- the attitude of awe on one side, and gladness on the other -- with sincerity holding them in balance.

    I bet you are like me, in that you have a list of things to DO. Call the plumber, call the insurance agent, go by the grocery store, call your Mom, pick up the Dry Cleaners… In the Second Chapter of Acts, there is a wonderful description of a list of things churches are supposed to do.

What we are told is that they devoted themselves to learning ("to the Apostle’s ...read more
