“We tend to think of Christ building his invisible church, and our building the 
visible church. We tend to think in this kind of dichotomy. So our building of the
visible church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means
and natural motives. How many times do we find that in doing the business of the
Lord Jesus Christ, there is a rapid opening of prayer, a rapid closing prayer after
half the people have left, but in between there is no difference between doing the
Lord’s business and the business of some well-organized business enterprise? Instead
of that, we should always look to Him, and always wait and pray for His leading,
moment by moment. This is a different world.”

–Francis Schaeffer, _True Spirituality_ (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House, 1971/2001),
p. 152.
