Church Dysfunction
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,
