The Measure of a Church

If the apostle Paul were to sit down to write a letter to your church-like those he wrote to the Galatians, Corinthians and others-how would he begin that letter? He started by thanking God for the Philippians' enduring partnership in the gospel. He thanked the Lord for the Ephesians' faith in Jesus and their love for the saints. What would he thank God for at your church? The activities? Growth? A bigger budget? An emphasis on spiritual gifts? Best-selling author Gene Getz has completely revised and updated his classic book on the biblical standards for churches and how God defines greatness in a church. How does your church measure up?
