The tipping point of nations and churches: Beware of over institutionalization (pt. 3) – The Christian Post
In times like these when whole societies seem to be at the “tipping point” of judgment, church leaders must think organically more than institutionally.This is vital because the authentic New Testament church is the “strategic remnant” with an important role when a nation reaches a critical point in its plummet into judgment.I prefer calling the genuine church an organism rather than an institution. The organism-church is made up of “living stones.” (1 Peter 2:5) The New Testament translates two Greek words as “life.” Bios is the life of the flesh that enables our existence in the finite world. Zoe, the term used in 1 Peter 2:5, most often refers to the God-quality of life. It is infused with the “breath” of God — the Holy Spirit.
