- Description
- Griffiths surveys the global state of Christian denominations and other religions, noting that international ministry inevitably involves engaging with people from diverse denominational backgrounds and with denominations that support ministry efforts. Each ministry setting is unique, requiring workers to serve with what is present. Ephesians 2:22 reminds believers that through the Spirit, God is building His people into His dwelling place. Ephesians 4:3 urges the church to maintain their Spirit-given unity, with Paul also pointing to the unity believers will one day fully experience in Christ. In 1 Corinthians 3, the church is described as God’s temple, revealing the tension between its fallible human nature and its divine calling. As God’s fellow workers, believers must consider how their actions and “building materials” either strengthen or weaken the church. Galatians 6 contrasts the fruit of the Spirit with the acts of the flesh, highlighting the corporate realities the church faces and calling for a congregational response. As temples of the Spirit, believers may still show the works of the flesh, making discernment vital. For ministers engaged in ministry beyond Sydney, particular wisdom is required in navigating a range of denominational perspectives and beliefs.
