A New Job Description
Recently I had been invited to an informational meeting of the Deacon’s Ministry Team of our church. The invitation was prompted by a recent conversation with our minister about my spiritual journey in need of a new spark.

Knowing God Through Our Work
At the heart of Christianity is God’s call to us to know Him personally. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, ministered to men and women to show the reality of God’s invitation to ordinary people to be His friends. When we look at what’s happening here, we see that all...
