We must ask a serious question. Is the Church of today the Church of the New Testament? Can we say that we are truly reflecting the heart and design of church life that the Lord intended? Are we following the real pattern that the Holy Spirit laid out in the Scripture? Did Christ, who is the head of the church, know what he was doing through the Holy Spirit when, in Scripture, he gave us the pattern of church life? These are very important questions that we must ask ourselves and come to some very clear and honest conclusions. Then we must make some major decisions as to how and where we go from here. If we believe that yes, we are living today according to the New Testament, Holy Spirit-designed church life, then why are we so ineffective in the world?
