God's Word
 For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 |
| Planting House Churches |
| The New Testament is the pattern. The kind of churches we read about in the New Testament were those that met in homes (Rom.16:5), were participatory and interactive by all the members (1Cor.14:26), observed the Lord’s Supper frequently as a full meal (Acts 2:46) and were led by a plurality of co-equal male elders (Acts 20:28; Titus 1:5-7; 1Pet.5:1-4). These churches are simple, informal, and easy to reproduce. When the members outgrow the size of someone’s home, a new church is planted. |
| Christ needs take no other revenge on a soul for refusing him . . . than to condemn such a one to have its own desire. William Gurnall |
