Theonomy J Melvin Ray

To see a Theonomy style in Church Management - the 21st century church must take a step back to see our future. Over the years, people planted notions that people we are made to serve the church. We believe that we were fashioned for the survival of the church organization, but the opposite of this is true, the church organization is fashioned for the survival of its people. In our churches, we are realizing this truth as we begin looking for "Whose in Charge" and the Church to become more responsive to the mission of/for its community survival. When the Church has fully lived up to its mission, then we will see an immersion into a changing of management style. This change is the returning to where we started; it is projecting us into our future - a re-doing of what the first Church did so well in God's theonomy.
