Re: Book Discussion: Pagan Christianity
I heard a sermon once about the five fold ministry. In it, the preacher brought out how that throughout scripture we see multiple references to elders, Apostles, etc but only one mention of Pastor. Today we only recognize Pastors and the rest do mostly nothing. The preachers stated that it appears we have our structure completely upside down today, and yet look what we have amanged to accomplish. Imagine what would happen if we got things back to the way layed out in Acts.
I think this may be the same situation. We have done well with traditional church and reached many, but imagine what would happen if we got it right and did things the way they did in Acts and the early church!
Agin, for the record, I am fine with traditional church on Sunday. I just think we should also embrace house church, cell groups, home meetings and anything else that fosters more of an intimate community or family feeling among the body. Traditional church tends to do the opposite.
