How Jesus runs the church -- The government of the church -- The power of the church -- The offices of the church -- The courts of the church -- Conclusion.
"There are many fine books available on the offices of church leadership. Few, if any, address for a contemporary audience the biblical foundations of the government of the church. But this should be a priority for us, because God emphasizes the government of his church throughout Scripture. Why should we be church members? How do church officers reflect Jesus� reign over us? Where do the church�s responsibilities begin and end? Where do ours? These, and other important questions, are answered in Guy Prentiss Water�s vital examination of How Jesus Runs the Church. At a time when church authority is treated with contempt, it�s important that we honor God in our churches more than ever" -- Publisher description.
