Paul Tripp Ministries - Mission Statement:
Connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
You live in a fallen world. The temptation is everywhere. It's hard not to love the world and the things that are in the world. It's hard to love an invisible God more than the visible things that surround you. It's hard not to offer God a few pieces of your life while retaining most of it for yourself. It's hard not to reduce your walk with God down to a formal, external religion that lays no claim to the interior on your life. It's hard to grasp that you actually have to die before you can live. It's hard to grasp that your life is no longer your own. We're here to help you!
