Church Government

How should the church function in the 21st century? What does the Bible have to say about church government? Listen to a Reformed Baptist perspective on the nature of the church by Dr. James White. Click here. There is also a new debate book titled, Perspectives on Church Government: Five Views of Church Polity, published byBroadman & Holman Publishers.

It is a breathe of fresh air to hear godly men address these issues. It is so often that we simply assume that what we are doing is biblical simply because it feels right or that "we have always done it that way." When numbers or popularity become the benchmark of success (ie: the mega-churches that have McDonalds and Starbucks), I think we ought to be a little concerned.
