Calling to ministry
- Tim Grant •
- 3 July 2015
Regularly when I sit down with someone, they’ll use the phrase ‘called to ministry’. I don’t have a dislike of this phrase, it can be very useful—only when most people use it, it isn’t.

- Peter (Pedro) Blowes •
- 23 May 2015
Bible reading with ready ears and an open heart is engaging and fruitful. There’s something fresh about letting God speak for himself, especially when you search the Bible yourself, making the effort to hear.
Five biblical ways to face death defiantly
- Hannah Ploegstra •
