Not only did they devote themselves to the apostle's teachings, but they devoted themselves to fellowship, the breaking of bread. They associated together. They had a lot of good fellowship together. I think, perhaps the best counterfeit to what goes on here at the church is what goes on down at the neighborhood bar and the tavern. The neighborhood bar is an imitation dispensing liquor instead of grace, escape rather than reality, death instead of life.
People go there because they get fellowship there.
No questions are asked. No addresses are given. But it's permissive, it's accepting in its fellowship. The bar flourishes not because people are alcoholics, but because the human heart desires fellowship. So they seek a counterfeit at the price of eternal loss.
