The first Christians were tight. After anything went down in their community (like when Peter and John were hauled to the authorities just before today’s verse), they immediately got together, talked it over and praised God. As Christians it’s fantastic to have people around who will point us to God when things get tough, and when we have downtime. Who do you spend time with? Maybe you fit into one of two groups:
if you spend a lot of time with non-Christian friends, that’s really cool. In fact, having a friendship group that’s not all on your faith-wavelength is great for living out your faith. If they’re genuine friends, they won’t be put off by your Bible app or the fact you go to church on Sunday. Maybe you have these friends because it’s been difficult to get into a friendship group at church. You’re not alone in that, but it’s really important to make an effort to know some faith-minded folk. Even if they aren’t your best friends, a Christian grounding is important.
And the flipside: if you find yourself with Christians most of the time, it’s cool. The first Christians did. Because you share more, at your core, with other followers of Jesus, you’ll naturally share more of a friendship base with them. But apply the same rule as above. It’s good to have a mix of friends so that you can naturally share your relationship with God with non-Christians who are growing to trust you.

What Now?
Think your friendship group is mostly composed of Christians, or non-Christians? Pray about how you can make the first move in getting to know more of the other group.
