I think the way the body functioned in the NT gave itself to the way it grew. Instead of having programs and meetings to teach and preach. They had meetings that are described in 1 Corinthians 14, where everyone came with something, whether a hymn, a teaching, a story, a word, no one person in charge. We have a hard time with that, particularly in the western world, we like things in order and under control. <BR/><BR/>We need each other, God has designed us that way, but we also need to understand, that he wants to teach us through the Holy Spirit, John 8 is very clear on this. <BR/><BR/>As we move more toward the 1 Cor 14 style of worship we will find the church developing more and more believers, believing. We will see the 10,000 getting saved in a week again. Because then we will be all teaching each other, instead of coming into a place where 'one' person does all the teaching 'one' person gets the music, 'one' person leads the evangelism. It will be all coming with something for the church.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719011091991334702noreply@blogger.com
