The Ambassador & Kingdom Authority

 When we are born again, we change our citizenship: from a kingdom of darkness to a kingdom of light. Paul tells us "our citizenship is in heaven" (Philippians 3:20 ESV). It is from this new kingdom that we are sent as representatives, or ambassadors if you will, to the micro-cultures where we find our selves living. A quick glance at some of the facts about ambassadors will give us some insights regarding how we are to live as representatives of our King. According to Merriam Webster, an…See More

What Did They Say?

The other day, I heard my wife chuckling in our dinning area. As I inquired regarding her laughter, she told me of a passage in a book she had just read. In this story, a man was describing his first visit to a charismatic type church: let’s say, he was quite a shocked. The point that made my wife chuckle was his statement regarding his visit: “I got gypped,” he complained, “In twelve years of being a Christian I have never heard one person or pastor mention anything about this Holy Spirit guy…See More

Have You Experienced The Whole Gospel?

Have I Experienced the Whole Gospel?A funny title you may think to yourself: after all, I have been saved for “x” number of years.For the most part, contemporary Christianity focuses on only two aspects of the Gospel (Good News), the fall and redemption. The goal of many churches is to win the lost, getting them to a personal experience of redemption. To accomplish this, much of the preaching focuses on either our deplorable sinful state or the grace of His redemption. Neither of which I deny…See More

Do I Really Want To Be Like Jesus?

Part of my prayer this morning was probably like most christians: there was a desire to become more like Jesus. While praying this, the thought occurred to me, just what am I asking for? Then I took some time to meditate on what could the answer of this prayer entail. It is a common theme today for many individuals to write, blog…See More

Mind Altering Books of 2010

The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. ~James Bryce The following is a list of the books that significantly impacted me in 2010. To reach this list, these books changed, clarified or reinforced my (new way of) thinking. Obviously, I do not agree with every word, but enough to recommend them. Total Church – Chester & TimmisWhat impacted me most regarding this book was their grasp on the holistic application of the Gospel. It is much greater than the…See More

What's Your Precious?

I’m a huge Lord Of The Rings Fan. I was introduced to Tolkien and the Hobbit back in eighth grade algebra with Mr. Parkinson. I was in desperate need of extra credit (notice the emphasis added!).  For those of us who were sinking fast, Mr. Parkinson offered extra points if we read The Hobbit and gave a short a report. What it had to do with algebra, I still do not know, but like any drowning man, I grasped for a lifeline! It so happened that our family was traveling out of state for a wedding;…See More

Description of Ministry
Martin’s passion is to see Jesus manifested in the lives of each believer as they live a lifestyle of Kingdom authority.

His focus of ministry is challenging the traditional paradigm of church, enlightening the body of believers to the potential that lies within them. Much of his time is spent writing and ministering the principles of spiritual (apostolic) authority and re-alignment of the New Testament church structure.

Does The Gospel Provoke You?

What is the goal of the effective communicator ~ provocation! It is to challenge the status quo of groupthink. It is to call into question the tribal norms. To provoke is "to arouse to a feeling or action, to stir up purposely, to provide the needed stimulus." The effective communicator challenges our paradigm, stirs emotions, stimulating us to do something about what we have heard.

Hello Bo. Schmaltz,

 

Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

 

Yes I actually lived outside of ATL in a small city called Loganville. I am an elder with Alpha Omega in Watkinsville, GA with Elder John Leyva and Bishop Clarence B Harris.

 

The ministry aim is manifold, but at least within our fellowship the thrust is to feed and nurture the saints to maturity. This is neither easy, nor quick, but there is a constant instruction of the Word, opportunity for practice, and opportunity for the gifts deposited in them to be applied within the body. Balance is also an important issue between the natural and the spiritual. There is a heavy anointing for teaching and in depth study of the Word and how it applies to many current issues we face in the world in regards to the rise of othe doctrines in the church and many religious outside (Islam, JW, etc).

 

I just logged in here after a long while. I do get Bro. Huston's updates about the annual meetings, but have never attended one. I met Bro. Huston and visited one of his home groups with another leader many years ago, maybe 10 and have just kept in touch with the website.

 

Grace, blessings, and much peace as you continue in the endeavors of the Kingdom.

 

Jesus M. Ruiz - j, Elder

Hello Bro. Marty, It was a pleasure meeting you at the GCC. I'm disappointed that we can't have you join us for a visit anytime soon, but I'm not discouraged because I know the Chief Shepherd has a way of working things out that he's purposed. Until that time, I will continue to keep in connection with you through the network. May God Bless Your Ministry to His Body. Steve

Greetings Bro. Marty, thank you for the rich teaching last weekend. It was definitely a faith-building, no, faith-catapulting Men's Advance! Be blessed as you go, and we hope to see you soon.
