2. Fellowship
Is God Transforming my relationships?

The early Christians were devoted to their fellowship.
eg
Ephesians 4:26, 27
We need to deal with resentments, we need to forgive.

3. Prayer
Am I continually communicating with God?

If you have an attitude where you don't want to pray, bring it to God anyway. They were convinced that God cares, that He listens and that He responds. When we pray, things happen.
In the morning - ask the LORD to help with your day and aobut people for whon you are concerned.

A person who is devoted to prayer. A prayer life that invites God into their life.

4. The Breaking of the Bread
Am I sharing my life with others?

The Acts 2 Church
- Sharing with complete strangers (via the Spirit's prompting)

If your blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar level was high, you would do something about it.
Look at your spiritual vital signs and do something about it. Ask God what you need to change and for the courage you need to make that change.
