The following is a writing from Y2K. Wayne has been addressing some of the things you mention in your writing about the franchise church of Andy Stanley (My term)…
Living in the Relational Church III
BodyLife * September 2000
By Wayne Jacobsen
…Unfortunately today, institutional priorities are usually the guiding force of the shared life of believers. We have blindly accepted their demands while failing to realize that those priorities are the opposite of family. Instead of celebrating diversity and authenticity, or making room for people to be at different places in the journey, they are pressed into conformity. Smooth running programs are championed above building healthy relationships and the gifts of a few are exalted instead of unlocking the gifts of all. Institutions exist to secure their own preservation, rather than to embrace God’s wider work in the world and genuinely serving those who do not know him. It’s no wonder that these dynamics have proven more successful at entertaining crowds than nurturing Father’s family…
Perhaps you have read Frank Viola’s _Who is Your Covering?_ perhaps not – Frank does a good job at differientiating between “office-ial” (my term for official)) authority and Devine authority in the body of Christ. These are terribly confused today.
The use of guilt motivation displays an effort at “official authority” (exousia) – and when that occurs in “church,” it is usurped authority.
Where does that leave our typical church models? In a sad place, sadly.
