Description

When R.C. Sproul boiled everything down about church life, he concluded that "in Protestant worship, for the most part, we sit and listen to a sermon." But aren't we justified in asking, why would we devote an ounce of concern to this since there is nothing in the New Testament concerning sermons? The vital question that begs for an answer is, why have we taken scissors and cut 1 Corinthians 14 out of the NT, and substituted for it a "church service" which was unknown to the early believers? Further, why have we not practiced a body meeting lifting up Christ together, and instead constructed a "service" that is fixated on what "the pastor," and often a worship band, do in front of the audience? Don't Be Called Leaders seeks to answer such pivotal questions and bring the focus back to God's eternal purpose in Christ-a house for His Son, the Son in us, the Son among us,

and the Son displayed to the world. The religious machine is called with leaders who have muddied the Lord's preoccupation with His anointed. God's words from the Shekinah glory cloud, "This is My beloved Son, hear Him," must be our plumb line. The Lord Jesus is the only Leader to follow.
