We need to keep going back to the basics.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Remembering the Basics of the Christian Life Are So Important<\/h2>\n<p>How well we remember the basics can determine how well we stand and persevere. The basics form the foundation of all we do. A faulty foundation and eventually we crumble. A firm foundation and we can stand no matter how difficult life becomes. <span class=\"class2\">(Read Luke 6:46-49.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>How well we remember the basics can determine how well we flourish. Roots need good soil. Toxins, chemical imbalance, or excessive weeds can weaken or destroy what started as a good plant. Hard or rocky soil can keep things from growing. <span class=\"class2\">(Read Luke 8:12-15.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Church Leaders May Need to Get Back to the Basics of God\u2019s Purposes, Design, and Mission<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-31446\" src=\"https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/leader-basics.jpg\" alt=\"Back to the Basics of Life in Christ\" width=\"273\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/leader-basics.jpg 273w, https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/leader-basics-182x300.jpg 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/>Everything church leaders do needs to be firmly rooted in the basics of life in Christ like God&#8217;s purposes, design, mission, heart, and power for the Church. When leaders have a good grip on God&#8217;s intent for the Church, their own roles become more obvious, as well as the heart and means needed to fulfil that role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Check out the church leadership training division of Ministry Tools Resource Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/leader-basics.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TrainChurchLeaders.com<\/a>, which devotes a section to getting leaders back to the basics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Also check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/mintools-store.com\/collections\/church-leadership-training-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">downloadable resources to help leaders steer the church<\/a> in these directions.<\/p>\n<h2>All Believers Need to Remember and Live in Accordance with Who We are and What We Have in Christ<\/h2>\n<p>We all, regardless of ministry roles, need to get back to the basics in order to walk worthy of our calling in Christ Jesus <span class=\"class2\">(Eph. 4:1)<\/span>.
