Time Magazine recently had an article on the emergence of home churches. Perhaps this is a sign of the hunger people have for authentic Christianity. Hopefully it is a sign of a return to a form of worship more akin to New Testament faith. Large, super-church facilities have been more a sign of American visible success orientation than a true movement of God's Spirit. The visibility has been obvious, but the impact on society has been negligent. My vision for the future is one with large, empty church buildings from which the actual church has departed to meet in homes and small conclaves. When evangelical churches quit worrying about numbers and budgetary needs to sustain such large edifices and programs perhaps they will begin to concern themselves with authentic faith and the power of God truly manifesting itself without the pseudo-authenticating trappings of material success.
