"Cries of the Harvester" - James 5:4
Has the spiritual gift of "Apostleship" passed away? How often do we see this gift in operation in the New Testatment? Do we see it functioning in the church more than we see the spiritual gift of "Pastor"? Where does this gift rank in the lists of spiritual gifts in the New Testament? When was the last time you heard any church teach on this subject? When this gift is in operation in the New Testament does it preclude women? Does this gift inherently dictate a "gender bias"? Does the New Testament shed any light on the role of "foundation layers" or apostolic leaders and how churches should support this role?
.... If you're still reading, then I commend you for having the spiritual courage to face the sad truth about church planting in America today. If you are or have been a church planter and your heart aches for the current state of the church in American culture today (everything hard-wired for "power hungry" pastors) ...then I'd like to hear your cries .... your words of wisdom ...
