What if there were no churches?

December 3, 2013

 

Experiment

 

Today’s post is a featured guest post over at Jeremy Myers’ blog “Till He Comes.” In this crazy internet age, I met Jeremy at the Twitter bar, and quickly became drawn to his words, his ministry, and the Jesus in him. He provides a tremendous gift to the Body with his writing on Bible Study and Theology, as well as offering Commentaries and several published books. Be sure and check out his blog and follow him on Twitter.

Do you remember doing Science Fair projects in school? You know, the ones where you did an experiment in order to answer a question, solve a problem, or explore a “what if?”

I’m certainly glad I’m not in 7th grade anymore, and don’t have to whip out my tri-panel display board and fret over whether the Judges are going to like my project. But, I do have an experiment, while hypothetical, that I’d love to see tested:

What would happen to the Church – the Body of Christ, if It were forced to exist without:

  • Officially designated church buildings or offices
  • Paid, full-time vocational ministers
  • Institutional or otherwise officially organized groups or factions
  • Tithes, Budgets or Ministry Plans

As I stated, I realize this experiment is an anecdotal exercise. Truly, it would take an extreme set of circumstances (or… a magnificent move of God) to arrange a new playing field such as this.

But what if?
