The ancient church had a minium of organization, but it had a maximum of power. The average church today has a maximum of organization but tragically lacks power. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan once warned, “One of Satan’s methods today is to start so many organizations in a church that the members have no time for unhurried communion with God. Many Christians are so busy that they can hear only the clink and clatter of church machinery." Too often we are over-organized and under-agonized.What God's church needs today is not new and better programs, but more men and women and children who are burdened and praying wholeheartedly for the spiritual and physical needs of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. The church needs more individuals who are committed both privately and publicly to prayer.
