Strengthen the Things That Remain

About the Book

In “Strengthen the Things That Remain” the author identifies common weaknesses within the evangelical church in the United States and offers biblical suggestions for strengthening those weaknesses. Chapters include “’Accepting Christ”-A Diluted Response to the Gospel?” which addresses the way the church often presents the gospel, “Valuing the Journey” which discusses how the church makes disciples, “How Individualism Has Infected the Church”, “Serving Others With Authority” focusing on the much neglected practice of church discipline, “Fight With All That Is In You” on the need to ‘contend for the faith’, “Worship”, and “The Problem With Positive Preaching.” It is written by an evangelical for evangelicals and especially for those who serve in some type of leadership function within an evangelical church.
