All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons and daughters. 15 You didn’t receive a spirit of slavery to lead you back again into fear, but you received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, “ Abba, Father. ” 16 The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God’s children. 17 But if we are children, we are also heirs. We are God’s heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him.
Robert Craig and Robert Worley have written this practical book as an aid to revitalizing church organizations, especially ones that perceive themselves as victims of outside forces. It is an excellent resource that offers guidance to congregations evaluating their current position and planning for renewal.
