The Riches of Poverty
The Apostles and the 120 families, and men like Barnabas and Stephen, were the first born of the kingdom in the days of Christ. Moses and Jesus gave men an alternative to the world systems. They both knew that Lovers of soft things315 were not the ones to serve the kingdom well.
God is the same and Jesus had done the same for His called out as Moses did for his. He required His ministers to sell all their property and give to those in need, so that they also had no inheritance.316 Jesus clearly states to His called out disciples, in relation to the appointment of the kingdom in Luke 12:32, “Sell that ye have....” Jesus like Moses before him required that the servant ministers of His kingdom own no property [huparchonta meaning property] as a personal estate.
The Apostles required new ordained appointees to do the same as we see with the two ministers Joses, a Levite, who became Barnabas, and Ananias who held back. These ministers of Christ’s Kingdom were dependent upon the contributions of the people who only shared freewill offerings according to the service given by their ministers.
The services they provided in the kingdom were the health, education and welfare, emergency relief, and social security of a society based on the assurance of love, the fidelity of faith and the healing power of hope. In the kingdom there was no compelled offering or entitlements, only faith, hope, and charity.
God had warned us over and over that the slothful shall be under tribute and that:
“When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.” Proverbs 23:1-4
Such requirements by Moses and Jesus did much to keep the ministers of that kingdom honest and dedicated. Men desiring power, control, and riches did not seek such offices of service. But in centralized authorities, whether they were indirect democracies or a demonic dictators, the benefits laid on those tables of rulers became a snare for the people according to David and Paul.
“And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:” Romans 11:9 [Psalms 69:22].
The Church is not just to preach the kingdom, but be its servants, facilitating the daily ministration, setting the tables of the Lord, feeding His sheep, and bring in the ways of God’s salvation into the hearts and minds of the people by God’s grace in this world and the next. Again the ministers of God’s kingdom do not stand between men and God, but between men and the gods of the world who would ensnare the people by making covenants and contracts that include coveting their neighbors goods, making merchandise of them all.

315This is a name given to ministers who applied and promoted benefactors who exercised authority, like Herod.

The Free Church Report
The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according to the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war, the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.”
The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but were not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban of the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
