Body or bureaucracy?

Posted on October 25, 2019 by Steve Simms

The body of Christ isn’t called to be the bureaucracy of Christ. Jesus wants to be the Head of His body.

A body functions as individual members directly listen to and individually obey the head. A bureaucracy functions as a hierarchy.

Jesus said to make disciples. Church tends to make an audience.

The early Christians encouraged one another in Christ-led, support groups called ekklesia. Learn more about how to function as part of Christ’s body: Search for: The Joy Of Early Christianity book.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
