Organic or Organizational by Harold Behr.

With the boom of Organic farming that's upon us these days we are having to re-learn basic agricultural techniques that have been lost and given way to agribusiness mass scale hi tech production methodologies. Likewise in the new emergent "Simple Church" we who labor in the field are finding ourselves re-learning how Christ & the Apostles instructed us to function in our gatherings. Of course, using NT Models means a lot of different things to different people groups. Denominations and sects have used this approach as the basis to remove music & organs, insist on grape juice and crackers every meeting, and countless other external extractions from the "code". But we are talking about understanding God's ways, His purposes, his heart for His Church, which can only be revealed as we sit in His Presence and let the Holy Spirit breathe across the pages of Scripture. Fortunately virtually everything Jesus taught with were organic in nature.

What we are experiencing in SC is an emerging expression of Church without excessive programming, planning or preparation on the part of leaders. This "happens" as those who gather are charged with a "higher bar, as to what it means to be a Christ follower". coming with 1 Cor, 14:26 written on their hearts, coming to give, not to get. The Overseer's role, while important, is not one of doing the ministry, but rather like a traffic cop is engaged in "directing traffic" or making space for each one's gift and/or contribution. The focus is to "be still", and get to know God as he ministers through each person in diverse ways.
