I Just Arrived to Pastor a Dying Church

So many of the mistakes and missteps a pastor makes in a church struggling and needing revitalization comes from a lack of knowledge of what to do. The absence of clear thinking on this matter causes a pastor to listen to all kinds of different voices and hastily react to what he finds and hears in his church. Some say change everything immediately. Others urge a pastor to look outside the church for new life. If a pastor does not have a solid handle of what to do and even a better idea of what not to do, he will react and make quick decisions based on the mess he finds.
