Publisher's Synopsis
This is the Workbook edition which includes space for taking notes. It is in an 8.5 by 11 inches format, convenient for slipping inside a notebook or laptop bag.
So much of Gospel ministry is based on shifting cultural practices that redefine the Church and downgrade the Bible's standards of leadership, worship, and discipleship. How do Christian leaders separate cultural dynamics from God's design for Gospel work? What can be done not to prevent the loss of the Gospel altogether?Most men and women who are serving on the front lines of Christian ministry are not trained. Those who are trained do not often do the essential work of the Gospel. Church can easily become a business or a club and fail to do the Word of God and serve in the power of the Spirit of God. Tradition robs people of the truth, and cultural accommodations can eradicate moral or spiritual standards.
This book offers a study format that includes notetaking pages. It is based on Biblical guidelines for a pure Gospel ministry. Such a ministry if not for stone-throwers. It is for humble, soul-loving people who believe righteousness comes from Christ and that his standards are the standards that his people hold dear. His love is impartial, but once his grace and mercy comes to a soul, that life is forever changed. Pure Gospel ministry revels in truth and rejoices in love. This kind of ministry submits totally to the authority of the scripture, so much so that the evolving culture is kept in check.
