Some Assembly RequiredSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg emphasizes the positive aspects of the church, despite the criticisms often expressed towards institutionalized religion. While acknowledging that the organization and leadership structure of the church may not have been explicitly outlined in the Bible, Gregg encourages Christians to gather together and be accountable to one another. He also notes that early Christians had a sense of community in which they shared everything in common and supported each other financially. Overall, Gregg suggests that the church can be a powerful force for good when it operates with sincerity and a focus on supporting its members.
