Not kidding myself that anything I have said or will say provides any “new” information not previously covered in God’s Word.  But that is not what ministry, in my words is necessarily about.  I do not seek a ministry where my name becomes popular enough to positively impact the sales of my next book or seminar.  I do not wish to have a popularized ministry that brings people to my plateau, grotto or cave to tap my endless source of wisdom as some oracle.  This is the ministry of a child of the Most High God, reaching out to those in need, those seeking to share Spirit filled direction and a ministry devoted to showing people that Christianity is about Love, common sense, victory and reason.

We have been provided salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.  This salvation is universal in that it is offered and intended for every person on the Earth that is the “grace” of God extending His offer to all.  However, although the offer is universal the acceptance is governed by very strict guidelines that are not “universally” inclusive, meaning; there are not many roads which lead to salvation but only one, and His Name is the Lord Jesus Christ.  That immediately sets up a complicated conflict by which men will attempt to manipulate that truth for their own power, to justify some inconsistent behavior or to somehow rationalize themselves out of the segment of mankind on the receiving end of God’s judgment.  I will not prattle.  I do not hold the keys to death and Hades, those have been “earned” by the works of the Lord Jesus on the Cross, where He laid down His life for humanity’s sake and took it back up of His own authority to demonstrate His sovereignty.

This is not the ministry of one man, this is a body of Christ, devoted to surrendering themselves to that authority.  This is a group of believers, so taken by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that they feel empowered to do the things which God has called us, reaching out to spread the seed of God’s Word to each and every plot of soil.  This is the “Path to Life”, that road by which every man must be tested, tempted and measured on his individual journey and growth in relationship and likeness to the Lord Jesus.  My words are not Gospel, but the story I tell is about how the “Good News” of Christ has so affected my life that I am led to do things I would not choose for myself.  I am called to share my testimony, my love for Christ and my love for His Church.  I am not called to judge any man, that right is reserved for “He who is without sin”, and last I checked there is only one man who fit that description.

I am a poor ambassador, a weak leader, a decent at best representative for the Lord Jesus, but I will still strive to do the work that is before me.  I may have poor capacity for love, patience, trial and explanation, but I will still labor into the night in my attempt to quiet one restless heart or lead one more person to the foot of the cross.  I cannot provide salvation, redemption or rescue for any person, especially those who do not wish to be led into the light, but I can be there to help them find the light switch.  My greatest strength is my realization of my own incapacity to do this work.  I am a sinner, in need of a savior and thank the Lord God that He has provided one by which we all may be delivered.  His Name is Jesus Christ, The King of All Creation.  The One true God, outside of time, who chose to step into His creation in order to provide a pathway back to righteousness.  We are all alone, perhaps we can be alone together in our knowledge, love and dedication to Christ Jesus.  Praise His Holy Name and let it be reflected in all that we do, say and believe.  Christ Jesus the King.
