1. The church is not a building nor is it an institution. The local churches are comprised of bands of followers of Jesus who meet together to strengthen and encourage one another.
2. There are more than one or two people who have the gifts of teaching and pastoring. Pastoring is a gift, not necessarily a career.
3. There is much more to following Jesus than adherence to a set of doctrines.
4. Following Jesus is not praying a prayer, which incidentally is not found in the Bible. The call of Jesus is always: “Follow me”?
5. Genuine, authentic relationships happen within the context of smaller groups.
6. Effective evangelism is not creating sanctified “safe houses” where nonbelievers can meet us. Jesus went into the world.
7. Spending millions of dollars on facilities and equipment is not wise stewardship.
8. More information is not going to cure the spiritual anemia in the Body of Christ.
