Towards a more biblical model of the church

Richard Halverson:

When the Greeks got the gospel, they turned it into a philosophy; when the Romans got it, they turned it into a government; when the Europeans got it, they turned it into a culture, and when the Americans got it, they turned it into a business

If most churches (American anyone) were examined by a naive person unfamiliar with them, what would they compare it with? Reggie McNeal proposes (Present Future) that our churches as they are are properly compared to social clubs, while many besides Halverson have made the comparison to a corporation, with the senior pastor as CEO, other pastors and staff as upper management, and those sitting mostly idle in the pews as the clientele.

The Bible though most often refers to the church as a family. Yes, it refers to it as the body of Christ, an army, and many other analogies, but family and familial references are most common. But what would we say about a family that gathered once per week to stare at the back of heads, only one person really shared, and the gathering was strictly scripted? That would be labeled as more than just dysfunctional.

How do we move back to a more biblically model?
