My husband I love our church. But we see the good and the bad.

The church has a business side, a huge building to pay for, and prioritizes that and pulpit preaching. Tithes and offering go to that.

But the New Testament Church had some differences.

-More fellowship and doing life together

-Outreach, street evangelism

-Tithes went to those in need, not the church building

-Not just the Pastor spoke during gatherings

What are your thoughts on this?


@Ferris Bueller @Bible Highlighter @L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d @marks @devin553344 I'm curious as to what you all think as well.

Yes, looking at Phillipi,Colossians, Ephesians.. etc..

They were prioritizing unity in their assembly and fellowship and love over worldly goods and possessions.


Even selling all they had to share with each other.


Very different to today. The unity in Christ was deep and devout.
