Importance of values within the Church

The growth of the church has been a very polarized theme in the evangelical context
in this present time. Some leaders dominated by the desire to win the world to Christ in a biblical way, but others with carnal desires focused on a regulating power of personal vanities using models of the most varied possible to achieve numerical and astronomical objectives always focused on an exhaustive membership and often forgetting ethical and behavioral criteria to achieve their most emergent objectives.

I want to think about what are the methods found in the New Testament church, and see how to make a sensible review and analysis if they are framed in a reality like a church in our local context.

*ONLY ONE CHURCH WHERE COMMUNION MAKES A VITAL BRAND IS THAT IT WILL GROW AND SURVIVE.

*VALUES OF A CHURCH THAT EXERCISE COMMUNION AS A VITAL BRAND FOR ITS GROWTH AND SURVIVAL.

I- VALUES OF DEDICATION -

That it reached not only a part of the group, but the whole community. (Ne 8)
That is manifested with responsibility and commitment fully persistent.
Which are also expressed in other consistent values

• Only a church that exercises dedication as one of its value brands is able to prevail. *

II- VALUES OF SOLIDARITY -

That he had in fear the vital element and catalyst for apostolic actions. (Pv 9:10)
That he had in faith the main mechanism for leading unity and sharing. (Acts 16: 5, II Co 8: 7)
That they had liberality as a regulating behavior to help the needy. (II Co 9: 1-2)

Only a church that practices solidarity as one of its brands of value is that it will prevail.

III- VALUES OF THE UNIT -

That always tends to produce something of excellent value in the relational context of the community. (Rm 12: 5b)
That also produces humility as a mark of value in dealing with the most needy. (Fp 2: 3-5)
They had the temple and houses as places of daily encounters in the exercise of perseverance unity. (HB10 25)

• A church where unity exists as a mark of value will always prevail. *

IV - VALUES OF INFLUENCE -

Which begins first through well-defined expressions of praise.
That continues with solidarity actions of those who are from outside
That experiences growth as a natural event not violated by secondary techniques. (I Co 3: 5-7)

• A church where there is influence as a brand of value will always prevail. *

Looking at the early church can we deduce whether or not we are living with dedication as members of the local church?
As a local church there is general solidarity or only a small part cares for the care of the most needy?
How has our reality been in terms of community life in unity?
Have we been seen and known by outsiders as serious people who are and make them happen or our testimony has been ineffective?
