The church must be under God's word. The church also needs to be under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This will sometimes result in doing things we've never done before in our church services. We read in 1 Cor. 14 that the gathering of the local church was highly participatory. Today our churches tend to encourage spectatorism. But why couldn't we have a service where more than one person speaks? I've seen this done well in a number of churches. At the very least maybe we could ask if someone has a "word" before dismissing. It will mean a repudiation of the one-man syndrome. Vigorous Christians want to be part of a living body where the contributions of every limb is valued. And they need to see this modeled before their very eyes by the leadership of the church. Moreover, elders themselves could share preaching duties Sunday after Sunday so that the church will never be known as "So-and-So's Church." The church at Corinth pioneered this area. Abuses there were, but Paul wants order, not passivity. The church in Corinth experienced a radical openness to God the Holy Spirit. It is his church, not the elders'!
