"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" Mark 8:36 (ESV) I stood behind one more servers table, peering into the eyes of a woman Id never met. But I knew our experience would forever change my effectiveness in ministry. Its not a proud moment when you discover, after many years of Christian service, you really werent serving in the name of Jesus. Up until a few days before that fateful night, I thought I was ministering the Gospel by merely serving peoples ...
