Fellowship
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” (Acts 2:42)
Much goes on in Christian churches today under the name of “fellowship.” Usually this consists of coffee and donuts, or church socials, or sports. As delightful as these functions may be, they should not be confused with biblical fellowship.
Nowhere in the New Testament do any of the Greek words translated “fellowship” imply fun times. Rather, they talk of, for example, “the fellowship of the ministering to the saints” (2 Corinthians 8:4) as sacrificial service and financial aid. (See, for example, 1 Timothy 6:18.)
Elsewhere, Paul was thankful for the Philippian believers’ “fellowship in the gospel” (Philippians 1:5), for he knew that “inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers [same word as fellowship] of my grace” (Philippians 1:7). This sort of fellowship may even bring persecution.
We are to emulate Christ’s humility and self-sacrificial love (Philippians 2:5-8) through the “fellowship of the Spirit” (Philippians 2:1). In some way known only partially to us, we have the privilege of knowing “the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10), and even “the communion [i.e., fellowship] of the blood” and “body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:16).
As we can see, this “fellowship” is serious business. As in our text and subsequent verses, fellowship should be accompanied by teaching, prayer, and ministry to the poor (Acts 2:45).
This kind of fellowship will be in “favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved” (Acts 2:47). JDM

Remind yourself that, just like every muscle in the body, the mind needs to be exercised to gain strength. It needs to be worked consistently to grow and develop over time. If you haven’t pushed yourself in hundreds of little, positive ways over time, of course you’ll crumble on the one day that things get really challenging.
But it doesn’t have to be that way any longer. You have choices...
You can PROVE TO YOURSELF that you have the guts to get in the ring and wrestle with life...
Mental strength is built through lots of little, daily victories. It’s the individual choices we make day-to-day that build our “mental strength” muscles. We all want this kind of strength, but we can’t wish our way to it. If you want it, you have to create positive rituals—MIND-STRENGTHENING RITUALS—in your life that reinforce what you desire.
At our annual live seminar, Think Better, Live Better, Marc and I guide attendees through this process of perspective change, and making steady daily progress through life's twists and turns. Because consistently responding better in the present takes some guidance and practice. It's absolutely worth it, though!
Again, we made this process the foundation of our only in-person event of this whole past year (you should get an HD recording of the event to prepare for the weeks ahead).
We lined up 11 world-class experts that we HAND PICKED from hundreds of top authorities on happiness, simple living, finance, fitness and productivity.
Many of these experts charge hundreds of dollars for just one hour of their time. But at Think Better, Live Better (that took place last February, live in San Diego) you can get their best strategies and tools for living at a fraction of the price when you get an HD digital recording of the entire event.
What will you discover at this life changing event?
We’re glad you asked. How about:
But you have to act quick—we reopened this opportunity based on a high volume of requests...
We only offer the professionally recorded, digital HD version of "T...
If you wanted to attend the recent live event but cost, distance or timing was an issue, THIS IS FOR YOU. The HD video footage has been professionally edited and will be emailed to you with instructions (you will then be able to watch the whole event with friends and family, as many times as you like, in the comfort of your own home). This same exact digital HD version of "Think Better, Live Better" will be packaged and sold for $200 starting next week (but right now it's only $99).
This offer is good today only (expires Oct. 29 at 11:59 pm PST) and only available at this special, subscriber-only link.
As always,
