Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do 9 out of 10 children raised in Christian homes leave the Church? Why do many professing Christians show little or no evidence for their faith? Why do 80-90% of those making decisions for Christ fall away from the faith? For decades, the world's most popular gospel message has been drawing the lost by promising God's wonderful plan for their life. But behind the facade of the "wonderful plan" message is the reality of the trials, temptation, and persecution that Jesus promised. How can we reconcile the two? In this life-changing book, best-selling author Ray Comfort explores whether this common gospel approach aligns with real life--and with Scripture. The vital biblical principles he reveals will force you to reexamine your ideas about the gospel--and will teach you how to reach unbelievers the way God intended. A must-read for all who care about the lost. Over a quarter million copies in print!
Download or read book The Master s Plan for the Church written by John F. MacArthur and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that, claims John MacArthur, the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants. Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.
Download or read book God s Prayer Program written by T. M. Moore and published by Christian Focus Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were told that a program exists to invigorate your prayer life and it couldn't fail - would you take it? I guess that most of us would say 'yes'! Prayer is vitally important to the life of the Christian, and yet we struggle with it. We hear about different devices and schemes (8 ways to guarantee prayer success!) not recognising that God has already provided us with a prayer program in the Psalms. They show and share in our deepest feelings of anger, longing, fear, joy, despair, loneliness etc. and are all wrapped up in a package that addresses God directly from our hearts. T. M. Moore encourages us to develop the psalms as a guide to our prayers using different approaches to praying the psalms, which reinforces their diversity and power. This will provide us with reliable reference points, equip us with the right words to use when we need them, and give us assurance that the words we use will be pleasing to God. Moore highlights to us the importance of discipline in prayer and reveals insights into why the psalms have been a source of prayer and worship for God's people throughout the ages. When we look to God's word we will find it an immense source of satisfaction, sustenance and blessing in our own prayer life. God said it would be sufficient for us.

Download or read book Growing God s Church written by Gary L. McIntosh and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's no secret that the evangelism methods of yesterday are not yielding the kinds of results they did in the 1970s and 1980s. So how are new Christians hearing the Gospel today? How are they finding churches? And what makes them stay at a church? The answers to these questions have the power to dramatically alter the way we do outreach. And Dr. McIntosh has them. Based on ten years of scientific research, Growing God's Church shows pastors and church leaders how people are actually coming to faith in the 21st century. It covers factors such as our motive for ministry, the priorities churches set for themselves, the reality of churchless Christians, generational and gender-based differences in evangelism effectiveness, the name of your church, the influence of pastors, and much more. The appendix includes a copy of the survey that provides the basis for McIntosh's arguments and an overview of the study is provided in the first chapter.
