Stop Bringing Them to Church: Who the Church Is, Isn't, and Why It Should Stay That Way (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615832098)

The Enemy Is In The Camp...And We Let Them In.

Evangelical Christianity is in a crisis. Methods, programs, and protocols have been implemented and utilized without asking the right questions: What is church? Who qualifies for church membership? Can anyone be a part of the Christian community? What does the Bible have to say about it? Is it actually biblical how we do things?

Because of this lack of foresight and dependence, the church has fallen into a disarray of erroneous doctrines and unbiblical practices. Church design is built on cultural moods instead of Bible truth.

In Stop Bringing Them to Church, David Washington lays out a basic biblical blueprint for returning to the scriptures for the church's identity and actions. In it he answers:

* What is the church of Christ?
* Why does the church gather?
* Is church membership for everyone?
* What is the gospel?
* What is proper church evangelism?

He also explains:

* The three fold purpose of the church.
* Why unbelievers have no business in the church.
* Why unbelievers put the church in crisis.
* Why inviting unbelievers to church is disobedient, unbiblical, and unloving.

Stop Bringing Them to Church is a challenge to the traditional church development and modes of evangelism, calling for a paradigm shift that roots itself exclusively in the word of God for a more reflective model of the biblical church.
