We live in one of those reforming eras that
have so often marked the history of the
church. Reform seems to reach so deeply into
the cultural norm of the church as to shake
the very foundation of faith and doctrine.
Many of the subjects that will be addressed
on this website will cause a shaking in the
heart of current belief systems. Foremost in
this will be a fresh look at leadership in the
household of God.

Writers in the early church often only identified themselves as
servants, ministers. This view seemed to be a real reflection of their
thought toward themselves. No sense of false modesty. In their
view, this is who, and even more so, what they were. The term they
used was so descriptive. This term could only describe one type of
individual. In their own eyes they were slaves. Their entire lives
were given to the orders, needs, even the whim of a master.
Whether they were writing to a developing group, an established
church, or a scattered remnant, each one was very clear. They were
given to the work of a Lord with no personal stake in it. Their work
would be marked by the same mercy that marked the natural life
of their Lord and Savior. They would be given to the alleviation of
the misery that sin had brought into the lives of men and women.

James, in particular, wrote to a group of believers that are with us
in great numbers today. These are the believers who truly love
Jesus, but have been scattered by the harsh, proud attitudes of
leaders who seem to think that they have a kingdom of doctrine and
judgment to establish. Their will, their way somehow makes them
feel good so they live life imposing it on others. Meanwhile, people
who are doing the best they can to live life and love Jesus are being
pushed aside, pushed out, and left wondering how it all happened.

This ministry is dedicated to taking a fresh look at the word and working of God while
encouraging people to continue to learn. Know that you can hear God for your life. Know that
mature believers—and even immature believers—can give you support and help as you sort out your
life in God. Our job is not to sort out who is a leader and who is not. We have no desire to define
“church” and all its working. We have a deep need to love Jesus and help others as their lives are
changed by walking with Him.
