Final thoughts on Franchising McChurch

mcchurch2Here are my top 10 statements from Franchising McChurch. 

10.  The hard truth: God cares more about the holiness of the congregation that than He does the size of the congregation.

9.  Churches best display the glory of God when they reflect the holiness of God, and they best way to demonstrate the difference between God’s way and the world’s way is when the don’t just look like the world.

8.  Many churches simply cave into whatever process, whatever program, whatever worked to get people in our doors.

7.  Humans cannot produce God-sized result.

6.  Theotainment is an attempt to utilizeentertainment to fill the spiritual needs of church attendees.

5.  One of the most problematic elements of the multi-site movement is the forfeiture of a local church autonomy.

4.  Lack of size does not always mean God is displeased with a church.

3.  Size is not an indicator of spiritual growth or maturity among attendees.

2.  God does not measure success by the size of your congregation so long as you are focused on the things God called the church to be.

1.  The American church has lost its understanding of the power of God’s word..
