Respond
Merriam-Webster defines devoted as “having strong love or loyalty for something or someone.” Based upon that definition, what are you devoted to? How devoted are you to the things the early church was devoted to – teachings from God and His Word, fellowship with other believers, sharing in remembering the work of Jesus on the cross, and prayer? Spend some time now asking God which one in particular you may need His help being more devoted to and what action steps you need to take to get there.
