And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. I Corinthians 12:28

Where are the pastors? Did God forget them? No, this is the divine appointment of God forHis church! God chose apostles to not only be first but to be the builders and architects of His holy temple of living stones.
If we would only look at God's "Divine Design" for His church, we would see the power and glory return and souls would be saved, set free, and baptized in His Holy Spirit. Today seminary trained preacher boys have turned God's church into a dead and lifeless spectator sport where no one is trained, equipped, or sent into the harvest!
The way churches are built today they are not geared for making disciples, our primary calling, and they are not purpose-driven, they are profit-driven because of their large overheads. Once this happens, they are wide open for compromise!
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. I Peter 2:4,5
