Lecrae on the church.
I really love “The Bride” by Lecrae. Here’s verse 3:
Some don’t get it so they hate
They say she’s on a paper chase they say she’s really fake
So they go start a ministry so they can do the work
But they don’t understand how Jesus feel about His church
And yeah they make disciples
They got plenty conversions
They take care of the widows and the orphans they be workin
But none of them are churchin
No church structure
No elders and no discipline
They don’t have a conductor
And they so they don’t submit
But quite a few of them baptize
People how I pray that you’d look at this thing from God’s eyes
Take responsibility inside the whole council not just the area where you might have a mouthful
Who should people submit to
Who will conduct the discipline
If excommunicated what body will they be missing then
Look at Ephesians 4 where Paul gets practical
First Timothy and Titus if you thinking I’m irrational
That’s more biblical ecclesiology in a single verse of a song than most pastors could communicate in a sermon… or even in their own ecclesiology!
