2. Movement:
        We generally consider that if there is no movement that one is dead.  A church also needs to be going somewhere.  A church needs a sense of direction.

3. Sensitivity:
       We something is unresponsive to touch (feeling) it is often considered dead.  A church also must be sensitive to the feelings those in the body and sensitive to the urging of the Holy Spirit.

4. Intake:
         If one does not eat or have intake, he will soon die.  The church must also feed upon the Word of God.  The baby Believers are to drink the milk, and the mature ones are to eat the meat.

5. Refuse:
        Where there is life, there is also waste or byproducts.  Removal of waste is essential both the the physical body and to the church. Life in Christ is always new.

6. Purpose:
        When people lose purpose, death soon follows. Young people without purpose begin to look a suicide.  Older people without purpose just give up and die.  A church must also have a sense of purpose.

7. Growth:
        It is only natural that a living being grows.  A lack of growth in a church is an indication of death.  However, growth in a church is an indication of life.  Sometime, a church must go through a death experience before it can experience new life and growth.

8. Reproduction:
        Reproduction is not only a sign of life, it is also an indication of fulfillment.  A church will not find fulfillment until it begins to see its member multiply, Believers leading others to Christ.
