The church is under attack.

No matter where you go, genuine believers face opposition from false religions, governments, and bitter enemies of Christ. Obvious heresies, false accusations, oppressive laws, and violent persecution are wielded against the church in desperate attempts to extinguish its flame. God’s people live in the world’s crosshairs.

But outside threats rarely spell the doom of a church. In fact, they often invigorate its spiritual life. Far more deadly are the subtle, gradual compromises of biblical principles by church leaders and members alike. When believers fail to follow the plain instructions given to them by their Lord, they kick off the process of decay that is always threatening to rot a church from the inside out.

How to Destroy Your Church is John MacArthur’s breakdown of the scriptural principles required to sustain the life of a healthy church. The moment these divine standards are slackened is the moment a church’s light begins to dim. But as you commit yourself to these principles, you will promote the spiritual health and growth of your church into all God designed it to be.
