    As we begin the year 2004, it is good to take inventory of our Christian life. This message begins with an INVENTORY, looks at our ministry using two ILLUSTRATIONS, and concludes with an INJUNCTION for us to be faithful this new year.

    “HAVE I BEEN FAITHFUL?” (1 Cor. 4:3, NLB) “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: ...read more

    The Problem With The Power Of The Church In America

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 29, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,880 views
