Healthy Church, Titus 3:8-11
What is required for a church to be healthy?
As the collapse of cultural Christianity has taken its toll on weekly attendance, churches have had to reevaluate what it means to be a healthy church. The blessing of this reevaluation is renewed attention to biblical models and metrics of church health. The disappointment of this reevaluation is an awareness that many have abandoned the biblical fundamentals of what it means to be a church in our zeal for greater numbers.
Titus 3:8-11 gives three instructions that are required for a church to be healthy.
