The "Normal" Church

Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003

based on 29 ratings

"Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more
