We need to look at "church" with a more careful eye. Some models are fruitful, some aren't. Some models are empowering, some aren't. We are in a time when church persecution is becoming more overt. Churches will not survive with the support of the secular society. Christians need to get aboard churches that will not only be faithful but will thrive. The church of the Bible -- really strange Pastor Jose Bosque's understanding of "church." The traditional, classic church. The church of Saint Patrick and Columba in Ireland. The sub-church of Rev. John Wesley that became a thriving denomination. The Seven Deadly Sins of Small Group Ministry The "clergy" problem of the classic "church." The "laity" problem of the classic "church."
