We are so glad that you are reading The Growing Gathering of Jesus. The Lord has clearly been speaking to you for a long time about the priesthood of all believers and you have been faithful in putting into practice what he has said to you. Well done!

We would love to ask you:

How far are you willing to go with this? Are you willing to decentralize as radically as the early believers in the book of Acts? Or is it a case of “this far and no further”?

What are the biggest changes that you might need to make in order to follow fully the example of the early believers? Are you willing to trust the Lord enough to make those changes?

How would you justify such radical decentralization to your critics, both inside your church and beyond it? Such criticism is definitely going to come!

As you read the final sections of The Growing Gathering of Jesus, we are cheering you on. It may be challenging to obey Jesus by radically decentralizing his authority, but it is always worth it!
