Eshcol; A Cluster of the Fruit of Canaan

Eshcol; A Cluster of the Fruit of Canaan by John Owen is a blueprint for healthy church order. Owen lays out biblical principles (rules) for pastor/laity interaction and rules for congregants to follow for edifying worship experiences. Pray for your pastor. Provide for your pastor. Listen to your pastor’s admonitions. Bear each other’s burdens. Provide for the poor. Speak appropriately and in good order. Meet together when your pastor calls for assembling. For each “rule,” Owen lays out its biblical basis and adds practical reasons and ways to implement the rule.
