Church

The concept of Christian witness encapsulates the many ways in which God’s church is empowered by God’s Spirit to give testimony in the world about God’s redemption in Christ.

Unlike the world and its character of sinfulness, the church is characterized by holiness.

We must be marked not merely by the courage to do battle when necessary but also the gentleness, wisdom, and endurance needed to win the peace.

Pastors are sinners dealing with sinners, so criticism is inevitable while ministering in a fallen world.

In our fallen world, sin knows no boundaries, sheep bite, wolves creep into churches, and life is hard.

Embracing the ordinary means of grace as a sufficient and comprehensive approach to ministry isn’t merely about coming to the right theological conclusions, it’s a matter of the heart.
