Devo from Acts 4:32-36

This is the ultimate "we're not from around here" or "kingdom-minded" attitude passage in action. The key here was that all believers were united in heart and mind. No one claimed that anything belonged to him. They didn't care about stuff. They shared with brothers and sisters in need. ---Don't miss this: along with this attitude of sharing came great power to testify of the resurrection of Jesus and much grace was upon all the believers. There were no needy persons among them. People would sell land, possessions, or whatever to meet the needs of others. They would bring the money to the disciples and have them distribute as anyone had need. ---When hearts and minds are united among believers, money is no longer an issue. But even greater is the power given by the Holy Spirit to share the testimony of Jesus the LORD.
