I wonder why today churches emphasize that manifestation of supernatural acts that occur in the bible can happen today like healing the sick, the blind , lame and other miracles but it seems I don’t hear much emphasis on eradicating lack in the church. There was much sharing in the early church to the point that no one lack anything.
Acts 4:32-35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
This doesn’t seem like something that is miraculous, so why can’t our churches practice this today? If we have faith for all the supernatural works why can’t we have faith to practice this too. Even in the bible Christians contributed resources for other Christians in different locations who where going through some form of hardship. It just bothers me that there are some church members in need of food and even medicines and the church has the resources to help them but these persons are not guaranteed to get the assistance they need or even feel they should not bother. Maybe we are not doing church the right way?
