Guest shiloh357 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 A true ministry will always have an overarching commitment to spreading the Gospel regardless if is a pastoral, humanitarian-based ministry, missions-based, or an evangelistic ministry. No true ministry will ever leave someone comfortable in their sin. Most ministries will meet a person's secondary needs and use that as opening from which to share Christ. If they are not sharing Jesus as Savior and Lord, they are not a true ministry. Humanitarian work is good, but on its own, it is not a ministry. Just digging a well or building a shelter does not "preach" the Gospel. Any secular humanitarian organization can do that. A good ministry can dig a well and at the same time lead people to the fountain of living water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 12:26 (NASB) False But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Peter 2:1 (ESV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What defines a true ministry? If were going to look for "definitions", let's stick with biblical definitions. We should keep in mind that both physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are being addressed. Luke 4:18,29 1. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 2. because he hath anointed me 3. to preach the gospel to the poor; 4. he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 5. to preach deliverance to the captives, 6. and recovering of sight to the blind, 7. to set at liberty them that are bruised, 8. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tbn would be considered a "ministry" Whether the ministry in question is biblically accurate or not is not relevant to the actual definition, its only relevant as to whether we should support it or not.
