The Bible contains a lot of instruction for the church. There are instructions for structure, leadership, operation, priorities and function. The “Dones” have left an institution that many felt was not found in the Bible. Some search for that more organic and supernatural expression of faith they see displayed in the Bible. This desire has led many of us out of the institution.
Genesis
2:18 - And
the LORD God said, It
is not
good that the man should be alone;
From
the beginning God has had a design for His children to live together.
Jesus clarified this more when He spoke of our love and unity.
[John
13:35 NASB] 35 "By this all men will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another."
[John
17:22 NASB] 22 "The glory which You have given Me I have given
to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
Love
and unity are not just important concepts to God. They are indicators
of our union with Him. One reason the “Dones” must connect is to
display to the world that we are of the father and disciples of
Christ. We cannot do it apart from each other. Leaving the
institution is just one step on the journey. We must move on to do
church the way God designed it to be done. This will require us to
connect with each other.
