Perhaps. It would depend on the needs of the assembly. It would certainly look different than what goes on in Churches today.
Look at it this way. If Yeshua looked upon the Churches sharing and having compassion he would pour our grace (favor) on the Assembly!
43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:43-47
Perhaps fear would come on every soul! Perhaps we would walk in gladness and singleness of heart! Perhaps the Lord would add to the Church daily!
I know in the 70's in the street ministry when the Spirit was flowing in rich ways a vacation was no big deal. I really hated to be away from what the Lord was doing. There was such love and such sensitivity to the Spirit its like we WERE ON VACATION when we would meet for street ministry or just fellowship!
Wouldnt it be a good trade off, our savings for the favor of God? Our retirement for the sense of belonging to a real New Covenant Church? Our vacation for fellowship and labor with the children of light?
