Depth and Breadth

June 17

Daily Bible Reading: Acts 2:14 – 47

Verse of the Day: Acts 2:42 – “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.”

How good the depth of a church is measured by the quality of the worship and instruction they are committed to. As believers, this must be at the top of our list to be aware of. How broad our church is, is determined by our commitment to fellowship and evangelism. We must keep reaching out to those around us who are in need, both in the church and outside of it.

Jesus told us to love God and to love people (Mark 12:30, 31). Love is an action verb. It is only really seen by the outward actions that we display. We can do actions without love, but we cannot love without actions.

Today, seek out ways that you can demonstrate the love of God to those around you. All of them.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill me with the love of God, so that I can show others this love. Amen.
