Behave
as a
Church
Book about Developing a Christian Ministry Book
Behave as a Church addresses the church and how our behavior affects the work children of God are called to do. The book reminds readers (remarkably the so-called faithful) what it means to behave as followers of Christ. Furthermore, it is not just about how to act as individuals but how to behave as a whole church. The book takes a stern, hard look at the scandalous behavior among Christian believers, which could be the cause of so many young people leaving the church. We must behave like Jesus and follow His commands to bring them back.
Excerpts:
“Let me suggest this mission statement to behave as a church: To magnify Jesus Christ through worship and the Word, to move believers in Jesus Christ towards maturity and ministry, and to make Jesus Christ know to our neighbors and the nations.”
“Sadly, praise seems to have fallen out of favor with church members in our present day. We should never come to a place where we neglect or fail to offer the sacrifice of praise to the Lord. However, too often church members come to the house of the Lord with their minds on a million other things besides honoring the Lord.”
“To behave as a church, you need to be able to identify those people the church could do without. Please understand, I am not saying that there are people that we should keep from coming to church because this would go against the Great Commission and we should behave as a church that invites the “whosoeverwill” may come in. Neither are we to pick and choose what kind of people we want in our church, for God loves the whole world.”
