“The Church Is A Community Not An Organization” examines the communal life and organizational structure of the early Church as depicted in the New Testament. It highlights practices such as shared worship, teaching, fellowship, and the regular gathering of believers for mutual encouragement and spiritual growth. The early church is presented as a comprehensive community with systems for justice, resource-sharing, moral governance, and leadership, all rooted in scriptural mandates. The essay further contrasts this biblical vision with the historical trend of the Church outsourcing its responsibilities to secular authorities, arguing that scripture offers a divine framework for a just and supportive society under God’s guidance.
