Why Should We Love the Local Church?
In Why Should We Love the Local Church?, Dustin Benge—an associate professor of biblical spirituality and historical theology at SBTS—urges Christians to embrace the church—the holy assembly of God’s redeemed people—exploring the many things that make the church "lovely" in God's sight, despite its shortcomings. Listen to the full audiobook from Crossway: ‘Why Should We Love the Local Church?’ by Dustin Benge.
Revivalism, which depends on our ingenuity and energy, brings short-term gains. It looks fruitful. It appeals to our yearning to see the results of our labors. You can watch the numbers explode. Yet often that fruit is fake. Revival, however, builds for the long-term. It walks by faith. It doesn’t expect to see all the fruit of our labors now but trusts that God is doing far more than we expect with every act of ministry. Read the new 9Marks Journal: Pursuing Revival While Avoiding Revivalism.
