Most all of us have heard the expression, “He who aims at nothing hits it.” It is my experience that for some churches this is an appropriate description. Now that’s not so say that they don’t have their philosophy of ministries and specific goals which they are endeavoring to attain. But when it comes to a God ordained, Bible-scripted vision for Christ’s Kingdom and His Church, many don’t have a clue here; they are too busy copying “successful churches” or historical Christendom to bother themselves with God’s plan for His church.
Now lest we be one of these churches, it behooves us to understand God’s plan for the church. We need to understand how the church functions and the specific pattern for what body life looks like. We began to look at the book of Philemon and it addresses these concerns.
