Looking back on my local church days I came to realize that surely the busy local church life, with all the meetings and conferences, could not be what Jesus envisioned for his followers.

I think that the experience of Christ lies in leaving the 99 and finding the one lost sheep. WL made it instead about "building the body". Even the gospel message got subsumed. I remember RK saying that Billy Graham had done absolutely nothing for the kingdom of God because he was only about converting sinners and not about organization-building.
