Church Dysfunction

Category: Church Doctor Ministries | November 28, 2007
Posted By Kent Hunter

For 30 years I have prayed for revival in North America. Consulting over 1,000 churches, I have come to the conclusion that, generally speaking, there are five major areas of roadblocks keeping the Christian movement from reaching its potential. Here they are:

  • The inability to deliver the Gospel in forms indigenous to 21st Century, unchurched Americans.
  • The lack of effective training for pastors to serve as missionaries.
  • The lack of a “go” mentality to focus ministry on the community, away from the church building, engaging people in the marketplace.
  • Unbiblical and unproductive forms of church government.
  • Ten unbiblical worldviews largely held by a majority of church leaders and decision-makers.

    I realize that this post was made a couple of months ago, but I am just now reading it. I would be interested in hearing specifically how each of these areas have roadblocked the North American Church from revival. Or how you envision the counterpoint of each roadblock. A third question would be how you would define revival.

    Thanks,
    Nathan
