The most basic place for any ministry is the person of Christ.
PRINCIPLE:
True ministry places the person and work of Christ central to all its goals and strategy.
APPLICATION:
True spiritual production comes from the foundation of salvation in Christ. First, we understand the nature of our salvation, and then we minister based on that salvation. Our salvation and ministry pivot around the person and work of Christ. Any church that departs from this essential foundation will drift off its base and will attract aberrant teaching.
