The Jail Ministry Messages – Volume I
I have been a part of the Jail Ministry Team of my church for over six years. “The Jail Ministry Messages – Volume 1” is a collection of a dozen of the messages delivered through doing the ministry.
The messages range from fundamentals of our faith to aspects of our spiritual lives to considerations in responding to contemporary issues and challenges.
Excerpts – –
I have come to believe though that God is actually very involved in His creation. This world can indeed be chaotic and even, at times, seems hopeless. Despite that, God is involved.

How to move a mountain? Through faith. More to the point, it is through faith that comes with a changed heart. The biggest change, in one’s heart, comes from God…
Giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s in important. There are benevolent governments and there are evil governments. Citizens should do what they can to try to get the kind of government that they want…
The true spiritual journey begins inward. God is interested in perfecting our inward spirit and then we will be truly fulfilled…
Jesus responds to the faith people put in him by giving life. This response is not limited only to the pages of the scriptures. Realize that even today our Lord continues to respond all who put their faith in him; to all who are ‘In Christ’…
The scriptures have many examples of those who were in a corrupt government system but decided to remain faithful to God… the leadership in a just system recognizes that they are servants to those they govern. An unjust system has one who sees him or herself as set above all people and even God… To those who are in Christ and face an unjust system, God is with you…
