In the Church and within every local congregation, I have a theory that there are very rarely real shortages in resources.  Instead what I’ve witnessed is a lack of resolve to share what we have – each one of us – our time, our talent, and our treasure.

I’ve witnessed firsthand how needs get met, problems get solved, and obstacles are overcome when those who are in the room begin to open their hearts, minds, and hands – deliberately sharing insights, surrendering talents, investing their own resources in some cause!  

I’ve seen firsthand the surprising and miraculous ways God sustains a community committed to sharing and taking care of one another!  There are no leftovers and none left out!   One’s abundance is for another’s lack so there is equity!

I know such talk can make some of us nervous, since we are so often preoccupied with our own goods, but hear me when I say that there is rarely a lack when we learn to share!

This is the witness of the first Church.  Are we paying attention?

⁴⁴ And all who believed were together and had all things in common. ⁴⁵ And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.  

Acts 2:44-45

Good Morning, I love you all!
