In the New Testament, no church ever hired a preaching “pastor” …

To come rule over their assemblies.

Instead, they trusted God to raise up pastoring elders among them …

To serve beside them as they gathered for ministry one to another.

Big difference.

God is calling us back to His ways, as we learn once again to become the multi-gifted, multi-part, multi-functional Body of Christ that builds up one another …

Rather than continuing to build up the vain, post-Biblical institutions of men.
