Tweaking the Structures for Movement

Some people are anti-structures.  They think it is cool to be against "the man," but all for movement.

However, there is no movement without structures.  Structures are necessary for health and multiplication.  It was true in the first century; it is true today.

But, not all structures will do.  Some hinder the dissemination of the gospel and the multiplication of disciples, churches, and leaders.

Some people work for movement, but only if it will happen within their parameters--even if those structures fall into the hindrance category.

And when the desired outcome does not occur...they tweak.

And tweak.

And tweak.

The tweaking of structures--a revision here, some change there--might not result in sufficient posture in preparation for a movement of the Sovereign Spirit.

If 5, 10, 15 years of tweaking have not been sufficient, then wise Kingdom citizens stop tweaking and start asking:  Do our structures hinder the multiplication of disciples, churches, and leaders?

If the answer is yes, then more tweaking is generally not the appropriate response.

How long have you been tweaking?  Is it time to start asking?
