I have been inspired by a group of believer's in the UK...they live the second chapter of Acts each day. I am praying about the possibility of starting something similar here in Rutherford County called The Acts Project.
The body of Christ is too separated...we all have our own churches, our own denominations, our own set of people. But if we only associate with our small groups, how will we help the rest of the body? If we as a finger only communicate with the hand, how will we help to heal a broken foot?
My thought is a Christian Co-op. Start a group that reaches across the denominations. The only prerequisite is that you are a Christian, you believe Jesus is God incarnate, that our God is One God, but is a triune God...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You believe Jesus died for our sins and rose again, and through Him we have eternal life. That's it! It doesn't matter how you worship, or how you take communion, or how you baptize, it doesn't matter if you speak in tongues or do not.
What we would do is start a facebook and/or a blog group. If a member of the group has a need, they would post it. The need could be something as simple as 'family needs a haircut but can't afford it' to 'need a new starter. Can pay for parts but can't afford labor.' Or, 'I'm sick this week, can someone run some errands for me?' Once a need is posted, a group member who can help responds. It's that simple.
Please pray for this project. Let's see if we can live as Christ intended, as a whole body helping each other and lifting each other.
