Sharing in common

Dan Edelen looks at the church in the United States and notices a conspicuous lack of discipleship as described in Acts 2 and 4:

Why isn’t the American Church taking more risks? You and I don’t want to be martyrs. We don’t want people to point fingers at us and go “ha ha!” We want our safe existence.

So the status quo goes on and on. The light goes under a bushel basket because it’s just a little bit too scary. And the world looks at the American Church and shrugs.

Ouch.
