"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking bread, and in prayers. "(Acts 2:42)


The ones that were pricked in the heart, the ones that received the word, the ones who continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship who repented and were baptized, and that had received the gift of the Holy Ghost continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking bread, and in prayers. It seems as if we are living in a time that self seems to be most important thing in our lives. Self and our families activities seem to take the front seat. By the time we take care of that, there is little time to devote any time to the church, to its members, to the fellowship of the saints and much prayer for the church. The early church continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship. Our activities, our children's activities, our grandchildren' s activities should have its priorities in order.

What should come first in our lives, what should we teach our children and grandchildren? God first, church second and in this order. If followed we will be teaching our children what is healthy and how to have a happy family. Any time that we put any activity of the world in front we are straying from the teaching of this verse and showing that we love something better than Christ and his church.

If we put Christ first there will always be time for us to spend some precious time with our children's activities.
