¹² The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. They would come together regularly at Solomon’s Porch. ¹³ No one from outside the church dared to join them, even though the people spoke highly of them. ¹⁴ Indeed, more and more believers in the Lord, large numbers of both men and women, were added to the church. ¹⁵ As a result, they would even bring the sick out into the main streets and lay them on cots and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow could fall on some of them as he passed by. ¹⁶ Even large numbers of persons from towns around Jerusalem would gather, bringing the sick and those harassed by unclean spirits. Everyone was healed. (Acts 5:12-16, CEB)

No one from outside the church dared to join them even though they would bring people to be healed by being in the shadow of Peter.

And yet the Lord added to their numbers daily.

They gathered and did what the Lord led them to do and people came to be a part of the gathering.

When we follow after God and do what God has called us to do more and more will be added. We do not bring people to the gathering, God does. We gather and support one another.

Love as God loves you.

Loving People. Loving God.
