One problem the organized church faces is the great temptation to seek the growth of the organization rather than the growth of Christ. I support the organized church and think everyone should be part. But how do you avoid the natural tendency to want to see the organization do well, even more than you want to see people grow in the Lord? Sometimes we confuse the two without even realizing it and because of that all too many churches fall into the fatal trap of building the wrong empire.
