Embracing Our Future

If the book of Acts tells us anything .. it tells us that God is calling His Church back to the basics of what He designed and desired for us from the very beginning. It seems to me that the farther we have gotten from the first century church in TIME .. the farther we have gotten from the church in KIND.

Now as we come to chapter 17 .. Paul and Silas are involved in their second missionary journey. They pass through a couple of communities on their way to Thessalonica .. the capital of Macedonia. And it's while at Thessalonica we learn some things about ..
