What is ministry? A question I've pondered quite a bit since I first became a Christian in 2008. The Western Church's definition of ministry is essentially a vocational office held by a paid, educated professional. But what's the definition within the context of Scripture--especially that of the New Testament? Typically, when we hear the word ministry, we think... Continue Reading →
In this installment of the Identity Series, Mark Lake shares on how we are "familiar" with Jesus. I believe you will find this post to be very insightful and edifying. Mark is a great brother and loves the Lord so much. He has a way of sharing our Lord in very practical, yet very beautiful... Continue Reading →
I've had something I've been pondering for a while now. I began thinking about this a few months after I had begun to leave legalism behind me. So I've decided to write about it. Recently I saw some pictures that an artist had created of modern depictions of some of our favorite Gospel stories; like... Continue Reading →

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35) "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast... Continue Reading →

We've all heard the verse where Jesus describes a good tree bearing good fruit. And we've all heard countless preachers, books, blog posts, and general conversations where the topic was this of bearing fruit. It seems many Christians today are consumed by the alleged need to bear fruit. In fact, there are also many who have... Continue Reading →
I think there is something very essential and valuable missing for many of God's people in my generation. It is the greatest gift ever given to mankind and something that can be attained by any and all believers in Christ. Not only can it be attained, but you and I were brought into His glorious Kingdom for... Continue Reading →
There is a great diversion of our attention in this current time. It's subtle, easy to fall victim to, and even has a sense of spirituality attached to it.
