The first century Christians had a different view of faith

the first century Christians had a differant view of faith
The first century Christians had a different view of faith
then the 21st century Christian.
They were to go into the entire world and proclaim the good news
They moved in power,
They were oppressed and endured real hardship.
They were into meeting the` world` and sharing their faith,
Along side the world it was their neighbour, these were hostile. But they witnessed and went about converting them.
Moving in power.
Last on their agendas was themselves.

They saw things differently to the 21st century Christian.

Who looks at themselves, first its being saved and getting to heaven?
Then perhaps a bit of local community.
Way off in the distance .  . . .A world concern.
We do not move in power,
We are faithless,
Frightened,
Become sick.
We do not value this view or those that proclaim this view
                                           Those that sign up to this are heretics’.

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
