The Depression Proof Church — Frank Becker
The Church is in crisis!
Are you being prepared for the difficult days ahead?
Franklin Graham declared, “Our churches are dead.” James Dobson observed, “We are awash in evil.” And Rick Warren prophesied that, “The future of Christianity is not Europe or North America.” Is there an answer?
Paige Patterson, former president of the 16-Million member Southern Baptist Convention, and now president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary says, “In a day of ‘how to' manuals on church growth and effectiveness...Frank Becker...has clearly enunciated the one essential, a return to the church of the New Testament.
In The Depression Proof Church, Frank Becker discusses four wrong turns that the Church has taken, serious blunders that have crippled its effectiveness and muted its message.
For example, the early Church invested every cent in alleviating need and spreading the gospel, but churches today set aside less than two cents on the dollar for missionary outreach, and use virtually all income to build and sustain their institutions.
Most leaders have ignored Jesus' words, “I will build my church,” and instead have attempted to appropriate Christ's role as Church Builder.
Too few strive to edify or build up believers. God's people will never fulfill their potential, achieve meaningful success, or effectively reach the world until every individual is provided opportunities for intense involvement that will enable them to discover, develop, and exercise their spiritual gifts.”
The Depression Proof Church exposes the frustrations, summarizes the symptoms, reveals the causes, and details how a return to biblical principles and practices will build up individual believers and revitalize the Church.
