Amazing race. Wonderful recap. I’m somewhat jealous, but mostly feel warm.

Great list…too often when we describe a healthy church, we go right to numbers or other such indicators. I love that each of these are rooted firmly in Scripture.

I believe that I understand what you’re saying. That said, it seems to me that the traits mentioned above would be a vital part of the culture of a healthy assembly. And the responsibility of developing the culture of the assembly is the responsibility of first the leadership and then also the individuals. In my opinion, since the assembly is comprised of the individuals, I’m not sure how it is possible to separate the responsibilities of the assembly from the responsibility of the individual. Isn’t it true that “We are the body”?

I appreciate the dialog!

Roger,

I agree with your thoughts but would say the traits you list are more on the side of the responsibilities of those who call themselves “christian” and to those who have committed to the assembly accepting individual responsibilities within the congregation to make the church “work”. (another list the I compiled which I’ll post later).

Most of the passages you state use the context of “you” speaking to the individual believer and would seem to not be directly connected with cooperate assemblies responsibilities (aside from unity). Love, humility, forgiveness, and the attitude of Christ come from the Saints as a product of what is happening from the church. In my opinion it is important to distinguish between the responsibilities of an individual and the responsibilities of the assembly.

Thanks for your comment! Keep it coming. Iron sharpens iron!!!

Very solid list Jordan. From the practical perspective, how about churches that promote…

LOVE- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Also- John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

HUMILITY- 1 Peter 5:5
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Also James 4:6, I Cor 13:4. etc.

UNITY-Ephesians 4:2-3
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

FORGIVENESS-Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST-Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
