The Beauty of Church.

"There was once a community of believers who were so totally devoted to God that their life together was charged with the Spirit's power. In that band of Christ-followers, believers loved each other with a radical kind of love. They took off their masks and shared their lives with one another. They laughed and cried and prayed and sang and served together in authentic Christian fellowship. Those who had more shared freely with those who had less until socioeconomic barriers melted away. People related together in ways that bridged gender and racial chasms, and celebrated cultural differences.
Acts 2 tells us that this community of believers, this church, offered unbelievers a vision of life that was so BEAUTIFUL it took their breath away. It was so bold, so creative, so dynamic that they couldn't resist it."


Where, I wonder, had that beauty gone?
Is it possible in 21st century?
