Welcome to Frontier Ministries
Online
"Teacher," said John, "we
saw a man driving out demons in Your Name and we told him to stop, because
he was not one of us."
"Do not stop him," Jesus
said. "No one who does a miracle in My name can in the next say anything
bad about Me, for whoever is not against us is for us. I tell you the truth,
anyone who gives you a cup of water in My name because you belong to Christ
will certainly not lose his reward." Mark 9:38-41
Frontier Ministries is being established
as a resource for/affiliation list of ministries who share a confidence
in our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. And in the ESSENTIALS
of Christian doctrine.
Unlike the disciples/apostles who did not
quite understand Jesus at the time of Mark 9:38-41, we today have the fullness
of the gospel revealed. And yet stories prevail everywhere of Christians
and churches that agree on the essentials and are still unwilling to offer
a hand of fellowship or cup of water to a brother, because of a few issues
of lesser importance; or because of the church he calls home. In some instances
it almost seems that churches are 'competing' with each other rather than
contending together for the gospel and the lives of the lost.
Though at first view Frontier Ministries
might seem to be ecumenically minded, we are not willing to participate
in any movement that seeks unity above and before an unwavering stand for
the Truth and essentials of the Christian faith. Only 'balanced' ministries
who agree upon the essentials of Christian doctrine, and who do not allow
the non-essentials to prevent them from extending a hand of fellowship
or from offering drink of water to someone of another ministry background
will be 'affiliated'.
What is to be gained from 'affiliation' with
Frontier Ministries? Essentially, an opportunity to be of service in the
Kingdom of God. Pastors and lay persons are constantly relocating within
the US, and often times there are few if any 'saints' that these folks
can turn to for encouragement, etc. within their new communities. Ministries
that indicate an interest in being a Frontier 'affiliate' indicate that
they would like to be an available source of contact in their community.
Frontier 'affiliates' might represent anything from a friendly voice and
ear, to prayer partners for the community, to a fellow minister that is
willing to share information to assist a new ministry in being established.
For more information regarding what Frontier
Ministries views as the essentials, what is viewed as non-essentials, and
what Frontier might still shy away from even though the essentials are
agreed upon; please visit the
'About Frontier'
link in the left side bar. Thank you
for your interest in Frontier Ministries.
In HIS Service, John
Newton
