We’ll learn how to recession-proof our ministries. We’ll learn how to reverse these negative national trends, by returning to God’s plan for His church. These solutions don’t require any one American church model. They can work in Reformed churches and purpose-driven churches, in missional churches and denominational churches. These solutions can be implemented in congregations of all sizes, from thirty to thirty thousand.

Now that you know the true footing of the United States church, don’t fail to act on what you’ve learned. Don’t fail to lead now. The next phase of our journey will require brutal self-assessment of our ministries and ourselves. Don’t allow pride or busyness to eclipse the work that God will do—if we will be weak before Him.

A. W. Tozer summarized well the second half of our journey.

It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages, while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run, and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that.[184]
