The Christian as minister Quotes

“When we acknowledge God as creator, redeemer, and sustainer, we become new creatures. And consequently our actions become reflections of our relationship with God. Who we have become therefore, makes a difference in what we do and how we live. So we move and grow in order to incarnate that response in our lives- to make that response viable and real.”

“All Christians are invited to participate in God’s ministry through Christ. No one is excluded from the task. Everyone is called upon to live out God’s story and witness to God’s love.”
