He helps identify the best approach for addressing what a particular church's revitalization need may be: • Refresh -- often most fitting after a difficult season in the church's life • Renovate -- needed when a decline has lasted five to ten years • Restore -- appropriate for churches with generational patterns focused on survival • Replant -- best for a church facing imminent closure Few joys compare to seeing God's life and power realized for the local church when believers begin to think and serve as Jesus did.

Download or read book Seven Pillars of a Biblical Church written by John B. Carpenter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovering seven lessons from Scripture and the Puritans, John Carpenter applies the principles and practices that are often neglected by the church today but are key in making a church truly biblical. Drawing on his background as a scholar of Puritanism and years of planting and pastoring a church, Carpenter establishes each pillar on the Bible and shows, through Scripture and practical examples, how they work. Beginning with the tale of how an eyewitness account of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center shows us the perils of only seeing part of God's revelation, we see: why we must listen to what God says about himself; why we must understand that the gospel is not a self-help plan; why salvation is so simple that it can be reduced to a bumper sticker (“Jesus saves”) but is still so often misunderstood, leading to unconverted people leading churches; and why believers aren't called just to go to church but to be covenanted members of a specific church where they can be corrected by their pastors and where worship is centered on God, not on personalities, putting on a show, or attracting crowds.
