The government God is essentially Family. A family has order and structure. When we stop being family, we are no longer the church of Jesus Christ.
The fact that we are gathered together does not constitute church. The fact that we are a family with structure and government under the reign of Christ, that is what makes us the church.
What are you thoughts on these statements and on what constitutes Church?

We can't escape the fact that Jesus himself, being the pattern Son did everything through relationship. He literally poured out His own life in the twelve disciples, teaching them what it means to be a covenanted people so that they could BE the Church on earth after He ascended. We must rediscover true apostolic Christianity and it starts by understanding and establishing covenant relationships. First a vertical relationship with Christ our King and secondly horizontal relationships with the other ambassadors of the King. The Church is in a great reformation which start in the hearts of individuals. The challenge stands before to start living as the covenanted community of Christ the King. This lifestyle is not for the weak but for the bold and brave of heart!
