A List... about Acts 2:42-47

Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)
The Fellowship of the Believers

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
 
1)  These verses of the Bible have been on my mind a lot lately. 
 
2)  I feel that these verses can sum up exactly how christianity should look today.
 
3) Sometime I feel that we decide to overlook "selling our goods and possessions" and "giving to those who have need."
 
4)  Sometimes I think this is left out of christianity altogether or is only a minimal focus when it should be a huge part of our lives.
 
5)  Sometime that makes me sad.
 
6)  The best part is, that in thinking about everything in this list, I want to change that.
 
7)  Another good thing is I know that there others out there that want to chang that, too.
 
8)  I love that God wants us to take care of those who have need.
 
9)  I love even more that God wants us to accomplish that by selling our own goods and possessions.
 
10)  That way.... there really isn't any excuse.  Beautiful!
