Small Groups Briefly and Graphically Juxtaposed Against Organic Life

—HW

Some thoughts from Pennsylvania, regarding an innovative “idea” men have had in the religious world: Starting “small groups” artificially (as some subset of a bigger generally less-Committed attendance-based something), and assigning “leaders” artificially—and then subdividing these “small groups” artificially (at some particular size)...... 

This “technique” of “small groups” is briefly and graphically juxtaposed in the attached, against Organic “Life that is truly Life” in the Jesus heart for Body of Christ—the church—which is meant to be His Family, not something to attend, nor a “study,” nor a borrowed Japanese “quality circle,” nor a miniature clergy/laity administrative unit of some larger institution or corporation....

HIS heart is all about “a hundred mothers, brothers, sisters....”—INTIMATE DAILY, NON-ADMINISTRATED, SACRIFICIAL TOGETHER-LIFE. : ) Only against THAT can “the gates of Hell” no longer prevail (as they are so easily in the religious world today, with the same statistics for evil as the world system). Jesus has WAY better than that for His People!! 

Hallelujah.
