References for Christian Denomination Differences

Each of the world’s largest four religions have different subcategories that have different beliefs. If you are interested in learning about how the Christian denominations differ, consider the following resources...

YouTube video: All Christian denominations explained in 12 minutes

Note: Many of the leaders of traditional Christian churches do not appreciate the nondenominational churches, and even claim they do not teach sound Bible doctrine. This may be the case in some churches, but there are many nondenominational churches that do teach sound Bible doctrine.

Information from business experts that could help churches

I've also been studying business for years and read many books written by world-class business experts about leadership, culture, strategy and execution, and there are some patterns in their knowledge and experience that could apply to any organization. It seems the most important point they make, for long-term sustainability, is to seek the truth, embrace it, and move forward with it.

“Confront the brutal facts (yet never lose faith).” - Jim Collins, Good to Great.

“Be radically open-minded and radically transparent.” - Ray Dalio, Principles.

“The ultimate point of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results. That certainly seems obvious, but as it turns out, one of the greatest challenges to team success is the inattention to results.” - Patrick Lencioni, The Advantage.

“To ask such a question, and to ask it without being afraid of the truth, is a mark of the effective executive.” - Peter F. Drucker, The Essential Drucker.

“Do define measures that will tell you, over the short and long run, how you are performing relative to your strategic choices.” - A. G. Lafley and Roger L. Martin, Playing to Win.

“The main thing that will change your company is your commitment to create a culture of communication.” - Dave Ramsey.

“Embrace the Messenger: One of the most vital moments for creating safety is when a group shares bad news or gives tough feedback.” - Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code.

“Validated learning is the process of demonstrating empirically that a team has discovered valuable truths about a startup’s present and future business prospects.” - Eric Ries, The Lean Startup.

“The criteria of ‘target audience interests’ is a good example of needing to confront the brutally honest facts about your demographic, rather than looking at the end user through rose-colored glasses.” - Bill Aulet, Disciplined Entrepreneur.

“There are no facts inside your building, so get the heck outside. Getting out of the building means acquiring a deep understanding of customer needs.” - Steve Blank, The Startup Owner’s Manual.

“Leaders and decision makers are trained to give feedback on early ideas to help them evolve. They know their opinion can be trumped by market facts and they’re comfortable with that.” - Alexander Osterwalder, Yves Pigneur, Gregory Bernarda, and Alan Smith, Value Proposition Design.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth (Romans 1:18).

Woe to him who builds his house with unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages (Jeremiah 22:13).

Let each person lead the life the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him (1 Corinthians 7:17).
