Mark has truly been a God sent blessing to me. His depth of knowledge has lifted our Adult Bible Fellowship studies to a higher level. In particular, we have been blessed to have him teach a series on “How to study the Bible”. It was truly amazing to look into God’s preserved word, with our blinders off, and realize just how simple studying the Bible could be. When we remove our filters and biases and apply the Lord’s “filter”, his Word truly does come to life.
We have also been blessed to be one of the first groups to review Mark’s book. It’s clear insight into topics that many people avoid or gloss over is refreshing. His ability to take a popular icon of mainstream society (Matrix movie series) and use it as a vehicle to deliver God’s truth is both timely and innovative. Our society, now more than ever, needs individuals like Mark who are willing to stand firm on God’s Word and share the Gospel lovingly in a manner that speaks to everyone.
If you haven’t seen his series on God Tube, or picked up a copy of “Secrets of the Spiritual Matrix”, I highly recommend you do. It will challenge you to go back to God’s Word, compare scripture with scripture, and prove out what God has planned for us. As 2 Timothy 2:15 reminds us: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” The “tools’ you’ll receive will be invaluable!
