Just as our life is in our blood, the life for Christ's body is in
His blood. Changing a church is more than a new goal or direction.
Our churches need more than an organizational "transition"; we need
a full "transfusion" of Jesus' blood, His life, within every
disciple. Anything less than that will only perpetuate more of the
dysfunction and unhealthy church practices that have already
plagued us for too long. We are in desperate need of the internally
transforming power of the gospel of grace and the presence of
Christ so that our salvation is then worked out in a way the rest
of the world will notice. It isn't enough that we believe in the
facts contained in the gospel, we must allow the gospel itself to
infect our souls and transform us from within. The DNA of Jesus'
lifeblood is needed in our churches and nothing shy of a full
transfusion that touches every cell will be sufficient.
In this book Neil Cole (author of "Organic Church, Church
Transfusion" and "Journeys to Significance") and Phil Helfer,
co-founders of Church Multiplication Associates, will first point
out that change is possible with God, but only with God. In the
second half of the book they will lay out some of the actual
practical considerations to weigh if you want to release real
organic health in your church.
Using multiple examples of very different kinds of churches that
have been through the process, the authors present ways that
leadership and practices need to change in order to release organic
church movements from their midst. Chapters cover: Leadershifts
necessaryDetoxification from dependence issues.How to ignite change
virally.How to grandparent movements.How to measure success in
movements.
This book (another in the Leadership Network series) applies
organic life principles to established churches with practical help
that is holistic and natural. The content in this book will be
helpful whether you are pastor of an established church or wanting
to revitalize a small organic church.
Jesus didn't die and rise from the dead so that we can be like
everyone else in the world. Our faith is more than just a better
doctrine or a bigger goal with a capital giving campaign; it is a
better life. Jesus is the difference, and what a difference he
makes...don't be satisfied with less.
