On the Vacuity of the “The Local Church” Mantra: Apologia pro vita sua
Since coming on staff with InterVarsity I have run into it again and again: How does your ministry fit with that of the local church? Aren’t you undermining the efforts of the local church? Aren’t you doing the work that the local church should be doing? What differentiates your ministry from that of the local … Continue reading

(Re-)Reading Matthew Together: Tools for Studying the Gospel of Matthew
So the GCF is currently studying the Gospel According to Matthew at our Tuesday night meetings, and it has been a rich and encouraging time together. Our study is fairly unique.
