House Church Talk - A lesson from the Boy Scouts

[David Anderson]

    Hi all, 

I am privileged with my two sons to be a part of a scout troop in which 
every child is home-schooled. Location: Bristol, TN. All are Christians 
and the prayers are always in Jesus' name.

On a typical night there are about 30-40 youths :) and 10-15 adults who 
oversee things and are at liberty to teach - even without notice. None of 
the adult men would ever consider being paid for their services. It would 
be an insult to even mention it.

Interestingly, none of these adult overseers (except one other) could 
stretch their imaginations far enough to consider a local church which 
did not have a paid leader or which would allow a team to perform the 
teaching.

Now I realize that the church, Christ's mystical body, cannot be likened 
exactly to any earthly organization, still I see some similarities here.
