5 Reasons for House Churches
What Do You Know About the Church?
About the author:
The author has personally started countless house churches and a worldwide movement of churches. He has trained thousands of believers in how to win others to Christ and how to work together to grow and multiply churches in cities throughout the world.
Most recently Jim is helping disciple some leaders that are now starting house churches on average more than one new house church every week. Jim has personally proclaimed the Gospel to 10’s of thousands of university students all over the world. And through various mass media that Jim has owned and operated, he has communicated to literally tens of millions nationally and internationally.
Jim’s greatest passion is seeing every brother in Christ become a mighty spiritual leader in his own household and then become a leader in the “household of God” (Eph. 2:19; 1Tim.3:15; Titus 1:7).
By the time you finish reading this book you’ll understand why the title Church Revolution Today may not be an overstatement. One of the first pastors who read an early draft of Church Revolution Today wrote:
“I read your book Church Revolution Today three times with my bible open, referencing every Scripture. Thank you for this book. Thank God for inspiring you to write this. Indeed, it will bring a revolution to the traditional churches of our generation. We have been traditional for many years, but I have made up my mind now to make some drastic changes in our ministry… to follow the N.T. house church and leadership model.”
This traditional evangelical pastor, with his small leadership team, stopped doing the traditional church planting approach and started following the New Testament houses church / leadership model. Four years later they had seen over 2000 house churches raise up, with 10’s of thousands of new believers baptized… and all meeting in house churches. Now six years later, there are over 6,700 house churches and over 60,000 new baptized believers.
God’s ways are always best. Of course, not everyone will see that same amount of growth following the N.T. Church Revolution model. But whether you see one house church or one thousand raise up, you will experience nothing like the traditional church when you follow the New Testament church model, as you will understand when reading Church Revolution Today. The N.T. model is the secret to dramatically discipling men, women and families for the Kingdom of God. It is also necessary to follow if any generation is going to turn their city and nation, “upside down for Christ”!
You may find it shocking to discover how far the traditional church and its leadership model today has veered from Christ’s clear biblical blueprint model. And in some ways, today’s traditional church model is even unwittingly suppressing the Great Commission of Christ. You’ll also discover how God’s biblical house church model has enormous implications for whole family development compared to the traditional church model. You’ll also discover how following Christ’s house church / leadership model can literally fulfill the Great Commission in every nation and in every generation, as Jesus commanded and expected (Matthew 28:18-20). You’ll understand the good, bad and ugly as to why today’s traditional church is so dramatically deficient from first century Christianity.
Think about it. Without any modern-day transportation, communication or technology the New Testament churches were literally fulfilling the Great Commission in their day. The N.T. believers turned their whole “world upside down for Christ”! Yet today, we have not even turned one city upside down for Christ, much less the whole world! Something is wrong! Something is dramatically wrong!
Church Revolution Today uncovers the wrong, and real reasons why and how Christ’s early church was fulfilling the Great Commission! And why the traditional church today is not coming close to what they did in the New Testament. And why and how today we can again have a worldwide spiritual – Church Revolution Today!
