@Nancy I agree. Kind of like a permanent backdrop among ppl now. (I agree also with @Marilyn and @Taken's comments, above, seen from their angles.)

@Nancy Fellowship can be the answer to some of our prayers. Acts 2.42 includes fellowship as an essential activity to pursue.

@Nancy Indeed, prayer and the Scriptures daily should remind us greatly that we should never lose that yearning in faith.... "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17.15)

@Taken Oh I take your point about the subjectivity of a lot of professed church activity that is not firmly rooted in Scripture, etc. I know what you mean and very much agree with you. I guess my comment was an aside which referred to what Rita said: I guess the meaning there is that for her...

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll. NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now.

@Taken Covid has made a difference also... Acts 2.42 principles - in whatever geographical location that they are practised - do remain invariable...

Good point there, @L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d The trustworthiness of Scripture is so important....

Hi @MJ-TIC Various things: the joy and certainty of a sure hope in Him.... The increasing habit of prayer and reading the Scriptures..... Learning to value fellowship with other Christians......... Becoming more and more keen to tell others about the Lord Jesus.... (These are some of the...

Keep up the Bible verse posting, @Marvelloustime ! :)

@Marvelloustime People used to sing this one, years ago. (Maybe some ppl still do sing it.....)
