Steve Scott on the fallacy of the American Church Model

Steve has reached into 1 Corinthians for insight on the Church and how we do it wrong.

I think he is on the money when he says:

It is simply amazing how many members are involved in the church meeting that Paul describes. This passage is quite different from the standard American tradition of church where a very select few (or even one!) actually do anything that affects all the others. For Paul, the goal is edification. With the American model of church, it's amazing to me to that our system hasn't fallen completely apart with so few involved in edifying one another every week. In many cases it has fallen apart, as the number of church closures and people who leave their churches testifies.

Read the whole thing, It's really good....
