I just watched a Youtube video the other day about the "Church System." It was really convicting. Basically it talked about the difference between the standard church order of service vs. the way 1 Corinthians 14 talks about what a typical 1st century service would look like.
When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. (vs. 26)
Key words here "each one." Not just one person every week...
Then the next day the Lord really got my attention as I was reading Philippians 2.
2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
I believe this is a real "Ecclesia Key." It's not about going to church. It's about being the church and finding a group of believers that you're in regular fellowship with and all becoming "doers of the Word." I think that's what will bring us out of a "place of stagnancy and redundancy into a place of passion."
Holy Spirit help us all!
Great topic!
