A fresh working of the Spirit

Ever since that famous Day of Pentacost recorded in the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit has been at the center of each new church movement. First the Catholic Church, then The Eastern Orthodox, then The Protestant Churches and so on. Mankind's fleshly tendancy is to "institutionalize" their church movements after so long, abandoning the leading of the Holy Spirit, making law out of methods of practice and worship, and bring in extra doctrine that is unecessary. Thus the Holy Spirit quietly moves away and finds a different group of believers who genuinely want to be led by God. This is the story of how church movements happen. You can follow this pattern through history, with Israel, the Catholic Church, the Protestant Churches, and now to more recent movements such as "The Jesus Movement," which today has produced the Calvary Chapel churches.
I believe that it is time for a fresh working of the Holy Spirit. We need to abandon our prior disposition towards old systems and notions of how church should be run. The core to any genuine church movement is preaching Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Everything else is a matter of opinion. This applies to the layout of the building, the types of music sung, the method of communion, and even what day of the week the primary service is held.
We also need to get rid of our preconceived ideas about those within the older denominations. The Catholic church has a lot of extra doctrine that does not lead to salvation, but, so long as they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, they are saved. The point is that we must find a way to include them into our churches, not exclude them. Christ called for one church, and we must do all we can to be unified as the Body of Christ. This does not mean that we call false doctrine correct, or look away from sin. What it means is that we need to look at the how of our services and be flexible on the parts that are merely opinion.
My goal with this post is to inspire you; if we band together and seek first the Kingdom of God, we can be the next church movement. The first thing we must do is get on our knees (literally) and pray for revival in the American Church. As we read God's word and learn how the church should be run, God will show us when we pray how to act. Amen!
