I like how this one guy puts this..."When we think of the church in organizational (business like) rather than community and relational terms, it distorts our values. We give lip service to biblical values but in practice other values predominate."
I have come to realise that when we preach a mixture of law and grace, old covenant and new covenant, old wineskin and new wineskin, we can't help but produce organizational, business-like, intrinsically unbiblical valued churches, it just happens, even if we never intended to............BUT, when we preach grace (acceptance, exclusively), we can't help but produce what God originally had in mind, gloriously free and relationally strong (even if you dont see each other every day) churches.....
One choice really....what you's think?
