A sense of awe came over everyone. God performed many wonders and signs through the apostles. All the believers were united and shared everything. They would sell pieces of property and possessions and distribute the proceeds to everyone who needed them. Every day, they met together in the temple and ate in their homes. They shared food with gladness and simplicity. They praised God and demonstrated God\\u2019s goodness to everyone. The Lord added daily to the community those who were being saved.\\n\\nPhoto by\\xa0Jack Sharp\\nThe post Queerness is Caring – Acts 2:42-47 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
