My primary reaction to what you wrote is a big AMEN! To be sure there are administrative issues that need to be taken care of in the church. Living organisms do have processes that are built into them to help them best function. When the process, however, becomes the main focus above the ultimate purpose for which the organism was designed, we have a problem. Thanks, Rene’.

What a beautiful illustration of the "gift". Unfortunately, most church models today because of their "business" approach, require administrators who are like fortune 500 tycoons for Pastors. When did the church model change from an organism to an organization? Why are profit margins more important than making disciples, nurturing the hurting, reaching the lost, and setting the captives free? Lord help us to major in the majors and minor in the minors. People are more important than profit. Wow! What a beautiful illustration of the “gift”.
