I am beginning to wonder if the 'reemergence' of the House Church Movement that has happened in the last three or four years has stopped before it really got going?
The reason I wonder this is because in the four years of being in organic Church nothing much seems to be different in regards to numbers and the vibe I am getting around the place from way back in 2004.

Three points I do want to make here are

1. I do not see any significant 'mission / evangelism' growth through the House Church Movement that can in any way be considered significant or better than the Institutional Church Models after four years.

2. I am still seeing and hearing lots of disillusioned Christians at least asking the hard questions about Church and many making the jump out of Church as they have known it. I would also say that I feel (hard to prove) that it is increasing. However this does not mean people are doing House Church instead, it just means they are leaving Church as they have known it.

3. I have come to believe that House Church is not the destination in regards to church Community but is and has been a very helpful halfway house for people transitioning out of Structured Church, to more fluid forms of community. Because of it's transitory nature most of the people who have come into House Church all fired up thinking they have arrived at their biblical destination soon discover that the journey has not finished and the questions continue and the answers are not what they expect. Its like House Church is a Port. Many people from Christendom arrive at the port (House Church), after a while even though some settle their, most find ships which take them to all kinds of exotic (difficult) destinations to start a new life.
