When we engage in that conversation, He accomplishes His will in each of us personally and realizes His purposes on the earth. This then begs the question: "What is P...

R.A. Martinez sits down with a few of our MAPS leaders to discuss a very important topic. The New Testament exhorts us to walk along the narrow road between lawlessness and legalism.

It is time for us to have in-depth conv...
