For anyone who has pastored a traditional Southern Baptist (SBC) church or been a member of one for any length of time, you do not need a list of dire statistics paraded before you to know the state of these churches. All you need to do is open your eyes and note what you see. They are old; they are dysfunctional; they are ineffective.

And they are dying.

Traditional SBC churches are not failing because of what the typical SBC associational missionary, state convention leader, or national convention revitalization guru will tell you. They are dying because they no longer...

Some years ago, our 4th-6th grade Sunday School class spent a year memorizing this Catechism. Since then, we saw many who were not part of that class walk away from Christ while some continued in the faith. We suddenly realized that most of those who remained steadfast had been taught the Catechism. As we pondered this, a member of that class who had left the area dropped by for a visit. He told us emphatically how memorizing the Catechism had guided his life by turning him into a true disciple. This helped him hold firm against the wiles of Satan; the others strongly agreed. We are commanded...

This book is about the tension revealed in scripture. Our efforts to systematically understand spiritual truth have often meant removing the tensions found in the Bible. We sometimes ignore passages we don't like or understand in order to make things fit together. We practice, to our harm, the "either/or" response to most of these conflicting biblical issues. When we remove the tensions present in scripture, we'll find ourselves to the right or the left, instead of being on the straight and narrow road that leads us to life in His grace.

God gave me some simple divine instruction that changed the dynamics of our ministry. This was to teach Bible Study from the same topic and Scriptures that Pastor preached from on Sunday mornings.

So after a few months of obedience God released a word in our ministry, which inspired this book and...
