This is a list of sure fire ways to make a church fail. I originally wrote it in September 2009. They are adapted from Donald Keough’s book The Ten Commandments of Business Failure.

#1 – Quit Taking Risks

#2 – Be Inflexible

#3 – Isolate Yourself

#4 – Assume Infallibility

#5 – Do whatever it takes, no matter how ethical

#6 – Don’t Take Time to Think

#7 – Put all your faith in experts

#8 – Love Your Bureaucracy

#9 – Send Mixed Messages

#10 – Be Afraid of the Future
