Too Many Churches In One City

Why does a single city have 200 churches averaging 5 members apiece? Too many heads and too few body parts. Not all pastors are called to preach. Not all teachers or preachers are called to be pastors. Don't get it mixed up. Pastors need preachers and teachers. Preachers and teachers need pastors. Many need to humble themselves and stop being the head and be willing to be a shoulder, elbow, knee, groin, stomach, foot, toe, finger or nose. Many heads need to be willing to delegate and not try to be the arm.

Ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine: if all of the divergent 5 to 20 member churches in one city of 200 churches came together as one complete body? Can you imagine if they put their personal doctrines aside to discuss Scripture together, whether or not they agree, and love each other anyway under one head with many teachers and preachers? Can you imagine then how it would free up so many preachers to go into the street to share the Gospel? Can you imagine how it would free their families to show love to the poor in the city?
Can you imagine what would happen to a city with that kind of unified church body?

Just that city would change the world.
