Some eager Christians may have a great game plan to reform society outside of the local church, or without involvement of the local churches. That’s a case of having a commendable mission concentration but having a faulty ecclesiology. That would be unfortunate since the apostle Paul called the local church “the pillar and ground of the truth.” That’s a significant role. The local churches should be the equipping and accountability agencies that facilitate the marketplace leaders who are working to reform, serve and build health into societies. Local churches disciple and build character and emotional health into the lives of the reform leaders. Does that make sense? That’s large ‘C’ Church functioning together missionally from a sound ecclesiology.
