The Ministry Is a Gospel Issue – Michael Horton offers some helpful thoughts about the important of the ministry.

Dying to Disciple – Mez lays down the challenge: “Many believers here think that I have some secret gift for getting people want to hang out with me on the scheme. But I don’t. I just pursue people.
