Reflections of a Lifetime in Christ
Our Story
Ken Boa’s monthly Biblical teaching letter, Reflections, was first produced in November 1983. In 1995, Reflections Ministries was founded to elevate and illuminate what are now Ken Boa’s rich reflections of a lifetime following Christ.
Today, Reflections Ministries is a teaching ministry focused on relational evangelism and discipleship. Ken Boa remains clear and focused on the ministry’s vision to:
“Encourage, teach, and equip people to know Christ, follow Him, become progressively conformed to His image, and reproduce His life in others.”
Loving Well, Learning Well, Living Well

Loving Well
Encompassing the heart, this is Reflections’ key spiritual category that explores the interior life and culminates in the full relational pursuit of Christ. It includes the relational and moral dimensions of human life. Loving well thus consists of the spiritual excellence of pursuing Jesus above all earth-bound goods. According to our Lord, the greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37), “and the second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself. (v.39)”

The Person And Work Of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe that He accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice. We believe that our redemption and salvation is guaranteed to us by His literal physical resurrection from the dead. (Jn. 1:1, 14, 18; Lk. 1:35; Rom 3:24-26, 4:25; 1 Pet. 1:3-5).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is now in heaven, exalted to the right hand of God, where as His people’s high priest, He fulfills the ministry of intercession and advocacy. (Heb. 1:3, 3:1, 7:23-25, 9:24; 13:8; 1 John 2:1,2).

Creation And Man
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of God in grace and that all who receive Jesus Christ as their own personal Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit. To those who believe in Christ, God imputes Christ’s righteousness. Without personal merit, man is saved on the basis of Christ’s death and shed blood (Jn. 1:12, 3:5, 16; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7).
We believe that anyone who has received Jesus Christ and thereby has been born again is eternally secure, has everlasting life, will not come into condemnation, has passed out of death into life, and shall never perish. We believe that there will be a bodily resurrection of believers (to everlasting blessedness) and of unbelievers (to everlasting punishment) (Dan. 12:1-2; Mt. 25:31-46; Jn. 3:16, 36, 5:24, 10:28-29, 11:25-26; Rom. 8:28-39; Rev. 20:12-15).
The Second Coming Of Christ
The Eternal State
The Christian’s Walk
We believe that those whom God has saved are sent into the world by Christ as He was by the Father. Those so sent are ambassadors, commissioned to go make disciples and make Christ known to the whole world. We also believe that everyone should have an opportunity to carefully examine the facts about Christ and have a chance to make an intelligent decision about Him. (Mt. 28:18-20; Jn. 15:8, 17:18, 20:21; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:14-15; 2 Cor. 5:18-20; Col. 4:2-6; 2 Tim. 2:14-26).
We believe that it is the responsibility of all believers to remember the work of the Lord in prayer and to support it with their means as the Lord has prospered them. (1 Cor. 16:2).
