"I discovered that I could have a more fruitful connection with people and share Jesus’ life more freely without all the accoutrements, political intrigue, and routine that our institutions force on fellowship...
Unfortunately, however, an entire industry has emerged in trying to make them just another system. Sometimes called house church, simple church, or organic church...
I’ve been in home groups that had more hoops to jump through than many congregations...
The problem is not the venue; it is our preoccupation with anything other than him...
My counsel is always the same : Avoid starting something. Once you start some “thing” your focus will shift from connecting with people to ensuring that the “thing” goes well."
(Finding Church. Wayne Jacobsen)
