What if we stopped endless debates on theology?
What if we just started, one small group at a time, to live differently?
The first three hundred years of the Jesus movement changed the world.
These little groups, in Greek called ekklesia, gathered to share meals, pray, and sing. But even more, they changed the relationships of men and women a bit at a time. Men were morally allowed promiscuity. And if babies were accidentally born, well, they were often left to die. Those early followers of Jesus caused a change in that culture.
And when illness and even epidemics swept through the ancient world, those early followers of Jesus were on the front lines of healing and bringing peace to the grieving.
Jesus followers were the leaders in spreading education.
What if we return to the roots of the faith? What if we saw needs and served them?
What if we just started now?
