…you are a chosen people. You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s very own
possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called
you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
1 Peter 2: 9
"Everyone gets to play, so play nice and share the toys.."
John Wimber
"The Church is to be an army not an audience. It’s never about a focus on the one on the stage, its about the equipping & releasing of the Church.."
"Everyone wants to be a part of something where they can realize their full potential.."
John Wimber
"God has given us a vision to see the body of Christ move from being an inactive audience to a Spirit-filled army. This isn't about a one man show, this is about the equipping of the saints for the work of the Kingdom.."

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it
over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But
among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.”
Matthew 20: 25-27
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up
Ephesians 4: 11 & 12
