Church Leadership Articles & Resources
Individualized Christianity must be destroyed for the church to be obedient to Scripture. It is this task that consumes the Lamb’s Bride Project which wants to
(1) expose the dangers of individualized and autonomous Christian life,
(2) highlight God’s command to love one another in the superior way that Jesus loved his disciples,
(3) show how to do this through the categorization of the 65 Togethers of Scripture, and
(4) teach a way of leadership in the church that more closely follows the method of Jesus and empowers all church members.

Quotations We Need to Take Seriously
|
From a conversation with Dick Wulf in September 2013. The speaker was a doctor in his 40's, married with 3 children under 10 years old. After a brief explanation of the Togethers and that Christians need each other, he said longingly, “I wish I had Christian friends. I can’t make them at church. People at church are not reliable [probably meaning available], so all of my friends are not Christians.”
