Self Feeders
To be sure, the local church involves fellowship among the saints,
which includes works of service to the household of faith. But we
have confused the priesthood of all believers with the ministry-hood
of all believers, as if Christ had never instituted the offices that
we find in the epistles. In this approach to ministry, every sheep
must be a shepherd. The call to the sheep to become self-feeders is
the natural consequence of this impoverished line of thinking.
