Does your church sometimes look more like a dysfunctional family than a healthy one? With more than 40 years' pastoral experience, Gene Getz has seen how the health of a church must be measured by the authenticity of its members. In this book, he offers a biblical approach to understanding how God measures real success in a church. 222 pages, from Moody.
Do our relationships in the church reflect Christ? Does church sometimes look more like a dysfunctional family than a healthy one? Do we really understand what discipleship ought to look like? By limiting the definition of a healthy church to human standards we are effectively missing God's point for it.
-Publisher
In a world of competing voices about what church is all about, Gene Getz, with the wisdom God has granted him over decades of ministry, provides a solidly grounded and thoroughly biblical approach to how God assesses the strength, health, and maturity of a local church. Previously titled The Measure of a Church.
He addresses...
The definition of the church
The standard of measure by which the church should be defined (Is it centered on Christ? Does it display the fruit of the Spirit? Is it growing in its ability to display faith, hope, and love?)
How does one measure leadership?
How does one measure worship?
What is the one, ultimate standard the church is measured by?
