Any view, then, of how Christians should use
their material possessions must focus first and
foremost on local churches. This is what we see
in the Bible. To bypass this important concept in

that ministry through the lens of biblical
ecclesiology i.e., the Bibles teaching on the
Church. In other words, we must carefully
evaluate the function and goals of every
parachurch ministry by what the Scripture teaches
about the local Church. A Biblical Theology of
