Unless

I posted the statement at the end of The Lorax by Dr. Suess, unless someone like you cares on our Facebook page. It's the perfect concept of what RI Ministries is all about. It can no longer be the job of the clergy or the professional missionary to touch this nation with the Gospel. We are in a post-church, post-Christian nation. The core of the national identity is based on the theories of deconstructionism and social relativism.

The only hope left in this nation will not be found within the walls of the church. The only hope this nation has in the believers getting out of the walls of the church.  Believers must begin to take the message of Jesus to their communities and neighborhoods.  Christians must share the good news outside the church walls, because the world is not coming inside.

RI Ministries wants to walk beside you and work with you. The good news is that we as a community of believers are in this together to touch and change lives. A revolution moves through people and touches and changes lives. Let's begin a Revolution.

Real Life Bible Study-Family Devotions

Do you struggle with doing Bible study in your regular life, at work, at home and at play?  Recently our family took a camping trip and had every intention of doing a family Bible Study/ Devotion with the family.  It's hard to do.  What would it take for you to finally get down to a family Bible Study?  You probably just need a place to start.

Here at RI Ministries, we are dedicated to helping you do Bible Study where you are.  Please share with us your successes and your struggle as we develop resources to help you in your personal and family devotional life.

The Darkness Closing in.

Things are dark in places in this country.  People who stand up for what they believe are called hateful bigots, they are boycotted and slandered.  People are angry and they make videos bullying drive through clerks.  People are hopeless, they can't find work, they can't afford to pay for gas and food.  People are scared, shootings seem to happen randomly in schools, churches and other public places, no one is safe, it seems no where is safe.

Many of these things we know will happen as the end of the age approaches.  As things continue to get darker, we must shine all the brighter as Christians.  The time for Christians relying on the institutional church to just take care of reaching is over.  We are living in a post-Christian, post-Churched society.  We have to a light in the places we are.

It's time as Revolutionaries that we begin to shine the light in the darkness.  Sharing the gospel with basic Bible study is the best way to counteract the darkness.  RI Ministries exists to help you with this very thing, to start a Bible Study in your school, workplace, neighborhood, wherever you are.  Let us know how we can help.
