What is it Like?
The Two Similes – 04
If Ecclesiology was thought through as a subcategory of Theology rather than Anthropology, the debate over bottom-up verses top-down church growth and government theories would be recognized as irrelevant. For Theology settles the issue: any method that begins with man is unsound by definition.
God sets every member in the body as it pleases Him (1 Cor. 12:18); hence, biblical unity is only possible where His arraignment is honored. Churches should be characterized by a concern to get things right at the top for only then will the anointing and dew flow down copiously to all the people of God.
