Sometimes members question their ability to resolve the organizational challenges of their church. Yet anyone who has corrected a discordant condition in his physical body knows enough to help heal organizational bodies. The method is in many essential respects the same.
Isn't it true that in church we all work together and function together as a whole—as one body? Paul says, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."I Cor.12:12, 13.
As we penetrate beneath the routine of church activity, we learn that the beliefs that lie behind corporate body problems are so often the same ones that lie behind individual body problems.
