    Frank,

    Brother, this is a great post. This is my favorite line:

    “I’ve discovered that as a general rule a revelation of Jesus Christ will eventually lead to a revelation of His church as well as a revelation of God’s grand mission (or Eternal Purpose).”

    This has totally been the case in my life for sure. I never knew of the dynamic connection between Christ and His body until He enlarged my vision of Him. Thx for sharing brother:)

    I love those quotes, especially the last one. Order is a product of spiritual life. In the New Testament the concept of church order was never inteded to control and/or limit the life of the Spirit.
