Renewal Starts with the Gospel

As someone who has spent a great deal of time studying and teaching leadership, I understand the value of good analysis and planning. Developing a philosophy of ministry, establishing a biblically based vision, and developing solid leaders are all valuable. While doing these things may help you grow an organization they do not guarantee a church that faithfully fulfills the call of winning people to Christ and making disciples. It seems like a truism but renewing the church starts with the gospel. A Christ honoring church is centered on the gospel of grace.
