WELCOME!
Dear friends! We are glad to welcome you to the website of Max Volkov Ministry. First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to the Lord for the friends and co-workers of this ministry in the field of God.
In our time of technological innovations, more and more people are immersed in the virtual world. The Internet has become a new kind of the Lord's field, where one can win souls for salvation in Christ. Therefore, the purpose of creating this website is to spread the Word of God to all corners of our world.
With a multitude of voices and opinions, it is very easy to get lost in the modern world and wander in the darkness of the deception of the father of lies, who does not want a person to come to the knowledge of the truth and find salvation. Therefore, the main goals of this ministry are publishing, counseling, missionary work, conducting evangelistic services, providing free Bible Study, and planting biblical churches. On this website, you can ask questions on any topic that interests you.
If you are in search of God or are an atheist or adherent of a certain religion, we will be happy to introduce you to the Living and True God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Perhaps you are already a follower of Christ and desire to be grounded in faith and are looking for a deeper knowledge of God, so that as a result of your changed life, many could find the way to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christians and non-Christians alike will find a lot of useful information on this website covering areas such as apologetics, creationism, counseling, relationships and occultism.
In the category of apologetics, articles will be presented on various questions to which many are looking for answers, including those who are already followers of Christ. As children of God, we must always be ready to give an answer. Scripture says, "... always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." (1 Pet. 3:15)
Going to study in colleges and universities, many young people are not informed in matters of creationism (the scientific view of the creation of the world by God), so this becomes one of the main reasons why young people fall away from the faith. Parents acknowledge the fact that they themselves sometimes get lost when children ask them such questions and do not know how to answer them. We, as a church, naively believe that this important issue will somehow be resolved by itself over time, but, as experience and statistics show, this is far from true.
We also emphasize the importance of counseling ministry. In our time, when the world around is filled with easily accessible temptations, sometimes the children of God are not prepared in some matters of faith and practical walk with God. As a result of the committed sin, the soul realizes that, having fallen into the trap of the devil, it does not find rest from the spiritual and mental wounds inflicted until it receives the proper help. Sometimes this process of spiritual healing and restoration takes a long time, which means that you have to work hard with that soul and take care of it. But we should remember that we are called to bear one another's burdens. When you listen to people going through spiritual anguish, you can only wonder why we pay so little attention to this ministry. Indeed, many in the Christian world need help and a compassionate heart. We desperately need counselors who have been called to this ministry by God, who can listen, support in prayer, and give wise advice.
It's no secret that almost half of all marriages end in divorce. The same tendency pervades the Church. Young people are often not aware of the practical issues of family life, and, faced with the first difficulties, they easily resort to, as it seems to them, the only way out of this situation – divorce. All of this is the result of liberal superficial teachings in contemporary churches that do not prepare people for responsibility, but teach self-realization, expressed in self-centeredness. The reason for this is the rejection of the authority of Scripture in many life issues, considering such views outdated or old-fashioned, and turning to psychology (the elements of this world), which is largely a product of human wisdom.
Often, out of ignorance, people turn to certain practices, like yoga, acupuncture, they believe in horoscopes, etc. without knowing that behind all these practices and beliefs stands the spiritual world. However, this leads a person to bondage and occult burdens, which affect a person and is the cause of many problems and troubles both in the family and in life in general. This especially affects the spiritual life of a believer. And this is not surprising, since television is replete with movies, cartoons and various programs that promote magic and extrasensorics. Naively believing that such supernatural manifestations do not carry anything harmful in themselves, or even must be a gift from God, people expose themselves to danger, opening the doors of their spiritual world to the forces of evil.
We do not pursue a goal to fill a person with the knowledge about God, but to bring him to the personal knowledge of God. Therefore, the common goal of all of the above-mentioned points is the fulfillment of the commission of our Lord Jesus Christ, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen." (Matt. 28:19-20)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you!
Max Volkov in Christ
