Grass Roots Living Part I

You gotta build from the ground up

When one builds something – a building, home, bridge, etc. – they start with the foundation.  The land and the support structure are the first thing built, not the last.  Likewise, governments, social groups, political movements and Christianity have grown in such a grassroots way.  When “building” a church you don’t start by spending hunderds of thousands of dollars on a building to have a once a week Sunday service; you start by meeting with individuals.  You found a small group.  Members of the group invite friends, then they invite friends.  You then have one large group that is trimmed down to be several small groups.  The last thing built is the “building” we often call ‘the church.’
