12 SIGNS OF A DYING DENOMINATION OR FELLOWSHIP
- Derek Schneider
1. Apostolic leaders are replaced by administrators.
2. The prophetic voice of the Lord is replaced by the voice of the vote.
3. People don’t attend because the Lord is there, they attend out of “church loyalty.”
4. Denominational politics are upheld above Kingdom principles.
5. Conferences conduct more business and administration than encounter.
6. What was once Presence driven is now people and program driven.
7. Altar calls are replaced by contemplative acknowledgment.
8. Discipleship is replaced by membership.
9. Convicting sermons are replaced by lectures and “conversations.”
10. Training, equipping and reproducing slowly becomes minimal.
11. Attracting and keeping people is priority over equipping and sending.
12. Building the Kingdom is replaced by building “better churches.”
Prayer: May we seek FIRST His Kingdom, and the rest be added. God we desire fruitfulness and fullness. In all that we do may it be through you and for you.
