Everyone's invited, this is how we live
We're all here for each other happy to give
All we have we share
And all of us we care, so come on...
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do...
There's nothing we won't do...
And here are some words from Acts 4:32-35 about how Jesus's followers were living after he ascended:
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
Look familiar? It appears that a Disney movie knows more about how church should be than most churches I've ever been to, where things like money and possessions have become more important than serving God and each other! What can Brother Bear teach the 21st century Church? Discuss...;)

Good example ;) I think that happens because the majority of people see the church less as a body and more as an institution. We've lost that sense of community etc that the early church had. Also, we're getting into a habit of thinking we can provide ourselves with all we need rather than recognising we can't do it alone.
Good post =) keep it up!
