“ Matter of haert priorities ” I agree wholeheartedly that good stewardship is a positive witness as it is a Biblical principle and it reflects God's nature as a God of order. I think the people who you mention that might have an issue with this are conflating good stewardship/business sense with "corporatism" (such as churches looking to the corporate business world and its models rather than the Bible on "how to do church") and setting up a false dichotomy as a result. People see this everywhere in America and immediately have knee-jerk reaction to anything "business" and that is falling into the ditch. Churches that believe in the sufficiency of Scripture are becoming rarer, and as long as that principle is maintained (like it is in Berean's case), there is nothing wrong with good, common-sensical management of God's resources.

“ Training vs Casual meetings ” Any fellowship is totally dependent on the generosity and sacrificial living of individuals, where people live their lives completely given over to serve God. But the reality is that this is a very rare thing, indeed it is a marvelous blessing from Jesus if you experience it, and a terrible tragedy if let go to waste. Â But for the most part house churches involve a lot of students and young people who choose not to budget their income for the fellowship, and are still growing in maturity, plus the casual nature of meeting with someone in a house, doesn't help that at all.
Personally I think we need more bible school type Friday, Saturday all day getaways of dedicated bible teaching. This takes dedication and sacrifice on the student, and really exposes those who are interested and those who are committed.
