Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.

"The church is uncaring." It's a mantra heard more and more as Bible-teaching and gospel-minded churches become rarer. As a church body, we should care for one another more ... outside and inside the body. We enjoyed a reputation as a warm and caring place. One of the easiest ways to care for each other is to encourage one another. Encouraging each other must be something we do intentionally. We should deliberately determine to encourage those around us. We all need encouragement from time to time, and we can all give it. Think for a moment. Could your life have been different if someone had encouraged you to do the right thing earlier in life? I know my life was forever changed because someone else took the time to encourage me in my relationship with the Lord. Please make a difference in someone's life today and encourage them. You might find that you are the one who ends up being encouraged. Love one another. Grace and peace to you. Life Lesson: The people of the church are to care for and encourage one another. Dear Lord,
Living to tell what He died to say, |
