   I read the website of an old friend today and I wanted to weep.  What has happened to us in the ministry today?  Everything we know, we learned from the Bible, yet we leave it out of our sermons, websites and books.  Are we ashamed of the Word of God (Mark 8:38)?  Everything we are, we were made by Christ, yet we leave His Name off anything we do.  Are we ashamed of Him (Mark:8:38)?  Do we have such a desire to market ourselves and our products and to be accepted by the world that we have forgotten that all we are and should ever desire to be are His servants?  Have we become ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:16)?  Our words, our ideas, our personalities will never change the world.  Only the Gospel has that power.  None of us is perfect and it is easy to find ourselves on the slippery slope.  But we can remember who we are, who made us and who is our source of authority.  Enough of marketing; let us return to simplicity of ministry.
