More than Spectators: Fulfilling Your Role In the Local Church
by Paul W. Downey, PhD

More than Spectators by Paul Downey explains how Christians can fulfill their role in the local church. Since God expects our total commitment to a local church, it is our responsibility to get involved and become more than a spectator. Pastors will not develop righteousness in the members of their congregations by pandering to their every desire. If they want the righteousness of Christ to be seen in the congregation, pastors must emphasize Christian responsibilities. Downey examines questions about true worship, personal Bible study, prayer, financial commitments, outreach ministries and missions, and much more.
