LET’S REVITALIZE CHRISTIANITY is a book designed to give people what I have heard many folks ask for: How can Christianity give me a better way of life? It is designed to give a different slant to Christianity than one would get in a sectarian church, and it is based entirely on the New Testament of the New International Version of the Holy Bible. After a brief introduction many problems in our society are mentioned to which the existing churches do not seem to give solution or closure. Since many folks have given up attending church, we give good reasons why attending church is a good thing for us. What is fellowship, and how can we painlessly learn to love someone we don’t really care very much about? Why is Jesus is known as the Prince of Peace? And can all of us be Princes and Princesses of Peace? We share a small study of prayer, and how we can help prayer work. There are two extremely important New Testament prayers. We show how the Lord’s Prayer can be a guide to effective living, and we show how the Gethsemane Prayer is the birth of Christianity, and how it instills in all of us what Jesus wants for our interactive relationship with Him and with God. What is freedom? And what’s the formula for achieving freedom? A short epilogue sums up the entire revitalization concept. And finally, we give a scriptural account of the life of Christ simply as an item of interest. For example, we cite Christ’s lineage as reported in Luke 3:23-38. All Christians should cherish this book.

In Biblical Church Revitalization Brian Croft calls us to an intentional commitment to church revitalization in the face of dying and divided churches. Book jacket.

9Marks Journal: RevitalizeChurch planting is a great thing, and there's no need to take anything away from it. But there should also be a default setting in a Christian's heart that always longs to see dying churches revitalized. It's not like the debate in your head about whether to fork over $2000 to the mechanic to fix your clunker of a car or to just buy a new one. It's more like a decision about whether to walk away from a dear but difficult relationship. Our hearts should never want to do that, even if once in a great while we must.Start with Andy Davis' remarkable story of reforming one church, and you'll find something that feels strangely like it's from the Bible, as if Andy were only doing what the apostles did. Then let the biblical burden of Bobby Jamieson's article sit on you. I'm serious. You just might find some new light bulbs turning on. Matt Schmucker's and Mike McKinley's articles then round out the apologetic by offering crisp statements for why churches and pastors should pursue the work of revitalizing.If you are a pastor, keep reading into the next section, where Jeramie Rinne, Greg Gilbert, John Folmar, J. D. Greear, and Brian Croft offer valuable and practical wisdom on how to proceed with the work of reform.Could it be that church revitalization does not loom as large in the modern evangelical mindset as it did in Jesus' and the apostles'? Before you answer that question, if nothing else, read Bobby's article. You just might wonder if we've missed something basic.

Welcome to Your Place in a Worldview Minority In an increasingly secular society, those who have a biblical worldview are now a shrinking minority. As mainstream culture grows more hostile toward the Bible’s truths and those who embrace them, you’ll face mounting pressures—from family, friends, media, academia, and government—to change and even abandon your beliefs. But these challenges also create abundant opportunities to stand strong for Christ and shine light to those hurt by the darkness of our day. In Faithfully Different, author and apologist Natasha Crain shares how you can live out your faith with conviction, discernment, and courage. You’ll be equipped to identify and respond to today’s most significant worldview pressures, such as cancel culture, secular social justice, progressive Christianity, deconstruction, virtue signaling, and more engage effectively with a world that ridicules biblical truths defend your faith from misguided influences and live as a bold witness for the Lord As the standards of our day mutate and devolve, Faithfully Different will give you the insight and encouragement you need to believe, think, and live biblically no matter what you face in these turbulent times.
