Healthy Churches

A workshop will be held on "Healthy Churches."  This workshop will present several speakers who will describe a system to maintain a healthy church.  God gave His view of a healthy church.  If God's view is followed, the church will always be healthy and strong.  "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.  Let all your things be done with charity."  I Corinthians 16:13-14.  A healthy church will always hold fast to God's standard of strength.  We must have a vigilance against error.  We must continue to worship and work as God has directed in His word, the Bible.  We must stand for that which is right and good and we must oppose that which is wrong and evil.  We must be strong in God's strength to "fight the good fight of faith."  I Timothy 6:12.  We must do all things with the spirit of love and good will.  A healthy church will never cease to preach the gospel with fervency and commitment.  A healthy church will never depart from the "old path."  Healthy churches will not seek new innovations to grow simply because they have decided that the old way no longer works.  When God and His will govern and control the life of the church, the church will always be strong and healthy.
