I wonder why today churches emphasize that manifestation of supernatural acts that occur in the bible can happen today like healing the sick, the blind , lame and other miracles but it seems I don't hear much emphasis on eradicating lack in the church. There was much sharing in the early church to the point that no one lack anything.

Acts 4:32-35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

This doesn't seem like something that is miraculous, so why can't our churches practice this today? If we have faith for all the supernatural works why can't we have faith to practice this too. Even in the bible Christians contributed resources for other Christians in different locations who where going through some form of hardship. It just bothers me that there are some church members in need of food and even medicines and the church has the resources to help them but these persons are not guaranteed to get the assistance they need or even feel they should not bother. Maybe we are not doing church the right way?

You hit the nail on the head. The truth is that the more charitable and the less selfish Christians are, the more they can carry and conduct the powers of God. Today, because we are so selfish, uncharitable, and ungodly, we are exposed to the attacks of Satan instead of controlling Satan. I've learned a lot here. Thanks for sharing.

It's harder to help this days not because people don't want to help ,but because you might encounter serious attacks for helping

Selective sharing.

Ok na

Interesting.

Alot of churches ⛪️, vast majority of churches I know do these..

I'm a Catholic, and this has been going on for years now, they help the poor, even give jobs to parishioners who are jobless...

Mixed multitude in churches now, & only less than 10% are true worshippers.

Ok

There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Christians in Palestine.

Do Christians mind sharing them anything?

No, Israel was mentioned in the Bible!
So to hell with Palestine!

Let Israel continue to occupy their land!

Let Israel together with Egypt block them on all sides!

Let Israel control them like prisoners and give them whatever they wish for their livelihood!

Let Israel be the god of Palestine!

Just because Israel was mentioned in the Bible Palestine shouldn't fight!

Yes in my parish

There's sharing, sometimes Pasta sometimes Bread it depends

omo

Kai. The truth is that many pastors are after their pocket. Deep Christlike love is not being practice by almost all churches.

Tithe was mentioned in old testament only in one or two chapters.

Same way Lazarus and the rich man was also mentioned, but pastors avoid using Lazarus to preach, rather they preach more about tithe. Every service, they must preach tithing and seed sowing etc.

Most pastors are richer than the poor congregations, but will rather collect money from them than give them..

Can imagine how many pastor that will go to hell if Lazarus and the rich man come into consideration by God on their last day?.

Yes, some churches don't proclaim it or talk about it but they do it really well.

That is not a good excuse to disobey God. In perfect love there is not fear. Learn to do the right no matter the consequences.

Not really. The church in the days of the Apostles did not just help the poor, they share all they had. They were all equal. The gave all their riches to the church and shared as one family. Please read that verse from Acts again

It is WINNER takes all now. Rather thank contriulbute to the less privileged members, they contribute for the daddy GOs and pastors.

Very few

Do you asked them to know if nothing was given?. So many christian organizations catering for those displaced people in camps.

I have never seen any Islamic organization offering humanitarian aid to IDP.

Muslim is a big curse to the whole world. China is truly dealing with them and de-radicalizing them with torture.

Is china not clamping on Christians too?
Do you know how many churches are being sold in the west?

Continue your hypocrisy against Muslims and keep dragging yourself backwards!

When you open your eyes you'll see what you asked for!
