It is what defines success, for both individual Christians and the local church. Authenticity = being passionate about God, faithful to our mission, and loving in our relationships. Authenticity is similar to Humility, which is a character trait, but differs in that it relates to actions. In our personal lives, as well as, in our churches, we can make choices, receive training, and set measurable goals that result in greater authenticity. Progress for us as Christians usually relates to the three aspects of authenticity: Spiritual Passion, Mission, and
Community. The popular church renewal program Natural Church Development, lifts up eight characteristics that relate in some way to congregational authenticity. Church Smart has done extensive statistical work to show have these characteristics correlate to church growth. My books compliment that much more detailed program.
Authenticity is not the only thing, but it matters more than we think.
