Wise as Serpents and Harmless as Doves: Applying Biblical Principles to Foster Growth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798653778643)

There are many ways to measure growth. Spiritual maturity is perhaps the hardest to measure, but if we are leading people to be more like our Master, they will become more loving, forgiving, and tolerant of others. Other obvious ways to measure growth are by the sheer numbers. If our numbers are increasing instead of holding steady or declining, we know our church is growing. This works for measuring attendance, membership, tithe, local church offerings, and baptisms.A vibrant church is filled with increasing numbers of activities and happy people. Growth is not an unnatural thing for a church to do. It is the natural result of the church to grow, and many times, if you remove the obstructions that hold a church back from growing, the church will take off and grow as God intended. In this book, Gary Ford not only lists the Biblical principles that foster church growth but illustrates how to apply them with real-life stories.
