A Church Dismantled: A Kingdom Restored

Why Is God Taking Apart the Church?

By: Conrad Kanagy

Narrated by: Conrad L. Kanagy

Written during COVID-19, with the author facing his own "dismantling" by Parkinson's disease, these personal and prophetic essays consider the declines in the American church as the "dismantling" work of God's Spirit. Kanagy urges that God dismantles for one purpose - that we might see Jesus anew and in the process be converted by the love of Jesus all over again! Book one in a new series.

Review of “A Church Dismantled”

I really found this book very interesting! Many years ago I embarked on a search for understanding of the Church, Christ’s Church! My father was Catholic and assured me it was Christ’s Church, claiming Peter was the rock upon which the Church was founded! Reading that scripture, Matt. 16:13-19, I didn’t see Peter being the “Rock”, but Revelation being how Peter recognized the Christ! Reading further in Ephesians 4:11-16 “And He gave some apostles; prophets; evangelists; some pastors and teachers; 12for the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of God, unto a perfect man…..that we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive…” We are lacking that unity of faith today because of apostasy! Apostles and prophets needed until that is a reality?? Who changed the original Church organized by Christ? Where is that Church? Martin Luther realized the need to return to the original teachings of Christ…hence the Protestant movement! Confusion and need for understanding.
Your title the Church dismantled and reference to being God who has done this causes me concern! Is it not man who in search of truth, without the benefit of revelation from God, who has done this? Ephesians 2:19-22 clarifies the original organization! There is a need for a Restoration of all things as Paul declared in Revelation 14:6 …..churches many, teachings many, doctrines changed….Isaiah 24:5-6, 29:9:10;13-14 Amos8:11-12; Jeremiah 2:11-13; Isaiah 60:2 ….these scriptures tell me it is mankind who has left the Church of Christ! So now what??
Thank you for your insights into today’s churches and the challenges now facing them! It has awakened me to further study!
