The Modern Day Church Making a Full Circle

Acts 2:42,46: "42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.....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,"

 Have you ever witnessed something that made a full circle?  It started one way, transitioned and changed over time, and then eventually circled back to how it originally was?  Take a look at our modern-day churches for an example. The early church evolved over time to what we see today. Although there is so much good today, we can't escape the sense something is missing that we can't quite put our finger on.  It is as if we are wiggling out of a mold that the culture put us in and now we are circling back to the simplicity of making disciples and "breaking bread" as the early church did.

 There is a hunger and heart cry for an authentic move of God, but because a few elements of the early church got lost in the translation over the past two centuries, perhaps the church today can't fully function as God intended it to unless we circle back and look at what these missing elements are and adapt them into our churches.

 God needs to do a structural reset in our churches to answer our heart's cry for revival. He has to reposition us by aligning our thoughts and belief systems to how the disciples had church as we see in the Book of Acts and then we will see the working of miracles that they saw. We tried it our way, are we ready now for God's way?

 The Holy Spirit wants to lead us away from the window of observation so we may enter in and sit around the table full of food and fellowship and join in the conversation of all the wonderful things Jesus has done. Will we join Him?
