Here's a thought, and I certainly don't claim to be an expert on these things. <br /><br />I do look at what's going on as a form of sophisticated persecution. However, when I read Acts, I see that God uses persecution for the purpose of scattering a church that refuses to be about His missionary agenda (Acts 8). The churches I see gathering in homes that get targeted in these types of stories are usually always larger than an extended family and that says to me that it's *possible* that this is the Lord. He's not allowing churches that meet in homes to grow up around leaders or ministries like they would in a church building, but continuing to scatter them to do His work. <br /><br />After all, how big is too big to be organic?Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502281592496950292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-89188009105553901552011-10-05T17:18:36.555-07:002011-10-05T17:18:36.555-07:00I'm interested too.
