Praise for Setting Your Church Free

This is a book for which many of us have been waiting. It addresses many of the most strategic needs being faced by the Church today. The message of the second chapter alone could be used of God to transform many churches.

Paul Cedar Chairman, Mission America Coalition, Author, A Life of Prayer

The Setting Your Church Free process described in this book has been a significant and strategic experience for our congregation. It was significant in that it helped us resolve some conflicts that we had because of the untimely death of our senior pastor. The strategic principles of this book have allowed us to turn the corner into the twenty-first centuryan important event for a 95year-old church. I would highly recommend this makeover process for any church that has more than a few years of history.

David Jenkins Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, South Bend, Indiana

The process outlined in Setting Your Church Free is one of the most effective weapons in my arsenal of resources to assist churches that are experiencing spiritual bondage issues. I have used the process outlined by Neil Anderson and Chuck Mylander to assist severely conflicted congregations regain their spiritual and moral direction. I eagerly anticipate using this new edition to see still more victories over the evil one as I work with churches in transition that are seeking spiritual recovery and wholeness.

Johnny E. Ross Certified Intentional Interim Minister by the Center for Congregational Health, North Carolina Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Setting Your Church Free deals with one of the basic elements in church growth: the spiritual releasing of a church for the power of God. While many are writing about the principles and programs to make a church grow, and others are featuring the user-friendly aspects of marketing the message to the general public, Anderson and Mylander have dealt with the spiritual factors that prohibit the church from revival and the power of God.

Dr. Elmer Towns Dean, School of Religion, Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia

Just as individuals bring emotional and spiritual baggage with them into the Christian life, whole congregations can carry such baggage from events in the history of the congregation. Freedom for the individual to grow in maturity depends on dealing with the personal sin and emotional baggage, and freedom for a church to grow often depends on dealing with the corporate sin in its history. Setting Your Church Free provides the guidance a church needs to do that.

Timothy M. Warner Former Director of Professional Doctoral Programs, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois

You hold in your hands one of the best resources available for churches and pastors who are desperate to experience Gods healing and transforming power. The Steps to Setting Your Church Free, based on the seven churches in Revelation, provide a refreshingly biblical and exceptionally practical framework for cultivating a spirit of genuine repentance and renewal in the local church. Having tested these truths in the real world of pastoral ministry, I can vouch for their validity, and I am thankful for the opportunity to share these timeless principles with a new generation of pastoral leaders.

David O. Williams Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministries/Chaplain, Barclay College, Haviland, Kansas

Foreword by Dean Johnson

Introduction

1. Protected from the Evil One

The Lord is praying for our spiritual protection, but we must be sanctified in truth and assume our responsibility to stand firm.

2. Christ-Centered Ministries

Christians and their ministries must be rooted in Christ if they are going to bear fruit.

3. Balance of Power

Purpose, unity and good communication are necessary for properly organized ministries to be effective.

4. Situational Leadership

Choosing the right style of leadership is determined by who the followers are and the situation.

5. Servant Leadership

A leader is a servant who desires every member to reach his or her highest potential.

6. The Church in Communion

The communion of the Church is its living union and communication with Christ.

Most church leaders will not feel right about facing their weaknesses and corporate sins until they have talked about their strengths.

8. Dealing with the Power of Memories

Every church has memories that hold hidden power to affect the present and the future of the church.

9. Dealing with Corporate Sins

Patterns of sinfulness within the group life of a church call for corporate action on the part of its leaders.

10. Defeating Satans Attacks

Churches may be under spiritual attack because of what they are doing right.

11. The Prayer Action Plan

All the authority of heaven stands behind church leaders who fully agree and unite in prayer about a matter they discern in the presence of Christ.

12. A Leadership Strategy

Just as people who find freedom in Christ must deal with deeply ingrained flesh patterns, churches must have a plan for forming and establishing new patterns of faith and practice.

Back Cover

Foreword

I n the early 1990s, I was pastoring a church in Ames, Iowa. My associate pastor was a former student of Neils at Talbot School of Theology. He had contacted Dr. Anderson about the possibility of conducting a Living Free in Christ conference in our church. When I was informed that the conference included topics on spiritual warfare, I was at first opposed to the idea. I had grown very skeptical about anyone teaching on this topic. I called Neil with my concerns, but what I heard sounded quite different from what I had encountered in the past. So we invited Freedom in Christ Ministries to come to our rural university community.
