Re: One of the Biggest Mistakes

How did the first church advance so quickly without "organizations"? In my opinion, I think organizations are a bit worldly. They cost way too much money, take far too much precious time, hinder individual pastors from following the Holy Ghost in local issues facing their local assembly, and seek to perpetuate their existance for the sake of those making a living through the organization. I think it would do the church good to get back to Bible basics. Today's "services" are more like concerts followed by a religious self help seminar. The church in the Bible met in homes, prayed and studied the Scriptures in small groups, and served their neighbors. They spread like wild fire. I think modern "church" is more like a "show". Add in how families suffer from being "over churched" and the situation is toxic. Just my personal opinion.
