Unstoppable

Unstoppable

If you want to get fit, you see a physical trainer. To get past psychological trauma, you see a therapist. To get ready for retirement, you see a financial advisor. To get proficient on the organ, you need Bishop or Carlos Patterson to teach you. But tell someone they need the same sort help for their soul, and people lose their mind. The mindset of many is "My Faith Wasn't Doing It For Me ... So I Made My Own". A well-rounded spiritual life cannot be self-directed. Join us Sunday, October 22, as I conclude my series My | Space exploring what Scripture says regarding the danger of DIY Religion.

The Context of Acts 2:42-46

Beginning with 3000 conversions, the apostles founded a permanent fellowship of believers in Jerusalem. The language of these verses emphasizes the continuing nature of this fellowship. “They devoted themselves to” all of the defining elements of Christian living. They “continued to meet together” daily, even enjoying their meals at home in a spirit of oneness.

“The apostles’ teaching” provided the foundation of their faith. As is evident in the New Testament documents, this teaching was always Christ-centered, yet relevant to life. “The fellowship” (κοινωνία, koinōnia) should be connected with the following activities which describe believers in their life together. It probably includes the idea of sharing one’s resources with others.

These believers felt a closeness which extended even to their personal possessions. Many of them sold property so that they had money to share with needy believers.
The DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Ethic

DIY ethic refers to the ethic of self-sufficiency through completing tasks without the aid of a paid expert. Literally meaning "do it yourself," the DIY ethic promotes the idea that anyone is capable of performing a variety of tasks rather than relying on specialists.
The Danger of DIY Religion

Everything revolves around what people want.
The Danger of DIY Religion

Designer spirituality.



Acts of the Apostles 2:44-46
