This is just a list I put together a couple years ago. We could probably have an interesting discussion about some of the things on the list. 1. Weekly Sunday morning gatherings. 2. Weekly offerings @ said gatherings. 3. Voting. 4. Congregational Singing. 5. Exegetical preaching to a gathering of believers with spiritual transformation in mind. 6. Committees. 7. Youth Ministry. 8. Choirs. 9. Deacon Boards. 10. Buildings owned by the church body and dedicated to church usage. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE GATHERINGS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH, YOU WILL FIND: Prayer People Reporting About Ministry Group Discussions Prayer Discipline Reading Letters From Other Believers Did I Mention Prayer? File this in the "for what it's worth" box. You can decide if you want to do anything further with it!
because 30 minutes isn't enough time to say everything...
