I suppose it would be great news if she (the local church) would/could fully understand, embrace and live in her God given freedom, then what she has may be attractive to others…the possibilities are endless.

But then again, she would probably not have enough time to do all the very important things like special programming, special meetings, more special meetings, going to the bank to pay the mortgage and other important bills, designing creative ways to help the masses grow and feel valued (but not like mushrooms where one keeps them in the dark and feeds them shit), a few more special meetings and so on.

Then again, I seem to remember reading somewhere about Christ’s promise that he would build the Church and the Church’s part of the deal was to love Him and everybody else…also something about creating a space for the kingdom of God to advance…basically introducing people to the freedom that is theirs with God in Christ. Sounds like a buy-in for me at least.
