Who owns the church?
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "[Acts 20:28]
A good reminder to leaders
that the Shepherd's sheep are valuable to
him.
Take heed therefore
unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you
overseers, to feed the church of God, which
he hath purchased with his own blood [Acts
20:28].
"This is the business of the officers of the
church. They are not to run the church, but
they are to see that the church is fed the
Word of God." McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the
Bible commentary: Church History (Acts
15-28) (electronic ed., Vol. 41, p. 91).
