The Birth of the Church

The people were of one accord when the Church was born on the Day of Pentecost, is written throughout the Book of Acts. The Book of Acts is not merely a biography. It is a blueprint. It is a paradigm of what our encounters are to be like today. Yet, we increasingly reserve to building the church with our specs and our own drawings. We abandon the blueprint. We package and market God, polluting his power and reducing his glory to make him more accessible. We need to make God known. For that, we must move in one accord. Casting away our offense and bitterness, with forgiveness and love, we must come together as a crescendo in a symphony made of many different instruments strung together to create one glorious sound.
