R.e.s.c.u. E.: a Church Navigational System for Transformation: Don't Let Your Church Sink into the Ecclesiastical Graveyard

Publisher Marketing: R. E. S. C. U. E. is a response to the "whys" in church life: - Why do the majority of churches have only half or less members attend on the Lord's Day? - Why have approximately 40% of pastors been involved in affairs and 50% of their marriages ended in divorce? - Why is there infighting in the church and why are there so many church splits? - Why are there so many pharisaical people in churches? - Why is the power of the Holy Spirit absent in churches? - Why is Biblical truth watered down? - Why is pastor or elder leadership not trusted? - Why do congregations think they can lead themselves? - Why isn't the church reaching more lost souls? - Why is church discipline off most church radars? - Why is the average percentage of giving per member only between 1 and 3 percent? - Why is a pastor's tenure only two to four years? - Why do churches fear change? After 33 years of ministry overseeing all sizes of congregations, I have dealt with those "whys." If churches do not address the "whys," many will sink into the ecclesiastical graveyard or remain afloat in stagnate waters. I believe R. E. S. C. U. E. can navigate churches to be transformed into an impactful and fruitful body of believers that glorifies our Lord!
