Over at Challies blog, he has been offering several high quality graphics to help your visualization skills when it comes to theology. His series, aptly enough, is called visual theology. So far, he’s hit many of the major doctrines, so I thought I’d bring…

[This post is part of the What Are We Up To In Ministry? series] It has been interesting being apart of a church that meets in a YMCA. When I lived in Florida the first time (freshman year of college), I went to a church that met in an elementary school, but my level of involvement never…
