Church Governance (6)

A body is not controlled from the centre.

• The brain does not tell the heart to beat. It keeps on beating, even when the brain is senile. The brain cannot stop the heart from beating.
• The skin replaces itself when it needs to be replaced. It does not wait for instruction from the brain.
• The blood produces antibodies when an infection is present.
• When I sit the wrong way and cut off the blood circulation to my leg, it will not function, even though my brain decides to stand up.

If all the part of the body waited for the brain to them what to do, the body would be dysfunctional. The body functions better when all the part of the body do what they were created to do. This also applies to the body of Christ.
