Hallmarks Of A Great Church
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47

Living In Unity In A Time Of Cultural Disunity
Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

Good News – The Glory of Christ and Our Future Glory
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land without water. Thus I have beheld You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
Psalm 63:1-2 LSB
Meditating on Scripture
How can we meditate on scripture? It starts with a desire to know God more. Next, we read scripture regularly, as well as memorize it. Thirdly, we can spend an equal amount of time thinking about scripture as we spent reading it. For example, if we spend 10 minutes reading, we can spend an additional 10 minutes going over it again, repeating it in our head and thinking about it, allowing the meaning to become apparent to us.
