Most Pastors would like to see their churches renewed. These could be signs of renewal. But true renewal of a congregation means that the congregation is radically transformed so that it gives a visible manifestion of Christ. The Church goal is the fullness of His character and ministry. In terms of the goal, we certainly all have a long way to go.
Personal renewal is the foundation.
That means their coming to a personal faith in Jesus Christ, knowing Him as Savior, Lord, and Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. The task of helping people in the Church come into a personal, living relationship with Jesus Christ might take years. But before it is accomplished, you do not have much of a foundation to build on. Conversion is first base. You are out every time.
