If we are honest, remembering those incarcerated โas if we were bound with themโ is an instruction that many of us would rather forget.

Some ministers prefer this dual-focused role; they find their โother jobโ is an opportunity for evangelism, connecting to the real world, or a better use of their varied set of gifts.
We live in an often confusing, ever shifting, and broken world. We see changes happening dramatically in seemingly accelerated ways. How ought the church to respond?

While the person you meet in the grocery store may not recognize the denominational name โฯใฝถสำฦต,โ you can find common ground by simply saying your church is part of the Christian church.

We need men and women of God who understand the times in which we live and can show us how to give witness to the faith we have in Christ.

I donโt actually know any people from the Amish tradition and faith, I do have a perception of them. I picture people wearing old-fashioned clothes and driving a horse and buggy. I think of them as being โset apartโ and I also admire their resolve.
