Acts 2:44-47 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;… Great pianists carry the dumb piano with them, which is simply a mechanical keyboard for the exercising of the fingers. Rubenstein uses it, and on a recent occasion he said, "If I neglect practice a single day, I notice it, and if for two days, my friends notice it, and if for three days the people notice it." Some Christians leave off practising their religion. First they notice it themselves, then their friends, then the world. Every Christian has his dumb piano on which to practise. True it gives no sound that the world can hear, but it nevertheless accomplishes much; it is the instrument of silent prayer. McCheyne once expressed the belief that no one who prayed daily to God ever became a lost soul. It is well to recall this at times whenever the habit of silent prayer is neglected. Use the dumb piano. Parallel Verses KJV: And all that believed were together, and had all things common;WEB: All who believed were together, and had all things in common. |
