(Acts 4:31-37)

The world is at its worst, but the church should shine brightly as a candle or lighthouse in the darkness. It is a great time for the church to be its best! Acts 4 gives us a glimpse of the church at its best.

I’m thankful to be a part of the church! I desire the church to be at its best every day. Sometimes we fail, but Jesus never fails! Look unto Jesus and follow Him. When you follow Jesus you can’t go wrong!
