ABIDING, NOT BARTERING

A.R.T. Abiding Relationship Theology Perspective

By Taveau D’Arcy

What happens when Christian relationships become more about attaining, using, money and earning approval than abiding relationships with fellow persons, but worse than that their  Abiding Relationship with First Love Jesus Christ?

Abiding, Not Bartering is an in-depth biblical and pastoral examination of the difference between genuine Christian relationship and religious environments in which acceptance, loyalty, influence, or belonging can become conditional.

Drawing upon decades of ministry experience, Taveau D’Arcy explores the meaning of abiding in Christ, the proper exercise of spiritual authority, the importance of personal conscience, and the responsibilities of both Christian leaders and ordinary believers.

This book examines how sincere ministry relationships can gradually become transactional, even when those involved believe they are serving God. It also considers the biblical alternative: servant leadership, mature discernment, responsible accountability, and relationships grounded in truth rather than personal control.

Through the lens of A.R.T. Abiding Relationship Theology and EORR Equal Opportunity REAL RESPECT, the author invites readers to examine not merely what Christians profess, but how they actually treat one another.

Inside you’ll explore:

• Abiding in Jesus Christ rather than striving to earn human approval.

• The difference between spiritual leadership and personal ownership.

• Christian conscience, biblical discernment, and responsible freedom.

• Transactional relationships within churches and ministries.

• The importance of mutual respect, accountability, and spiritual maturity.

• Why genuine revival must reach the relationships.

Written for pastors, ministry leaders, Bible students, and thoughtful Christians who desire a more biblically grounded understanding of relationships within the Body of Christ.

The central message: Jesus Christ is the Head of His Church. Christian faith is not a transaction through which we purchase acceptance. We are called to abide in Him and allow that relationship to bear fruit in the way we live and treat others.
