Proclaiming Truth and Grace

I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Welcome to Mark Richard Ministry.

 

I'm grateful that you've found your way here, and I believe it's not by chance but by God's divine plan. The original purpose of this website was to share the contents of my letter, In Error to God’s Heir, as we are commanded to spread the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15).  The letter is a testament to the transformative power of Jesus Christ in my life. It's a story about His love, mercy, patience, and saving grace -- not by my works, but by total surrender of my sins to the Cross. It's only then that we can receive the redemptive work of Jesus. ​I am humbled to share the letter, for God's glory, with the world through this medium.

Now, there's more! God has continued His work in and through me with other writings, including two Gospel tracts, a workshop on sexuality through the lens of God's Word, and two upcoming books (currently with the publishers):

SACRED SEXUALITY: Revealing God's Truth and Grace in a Confused World. and WORDS FOR A WOUNDED WORLD: Scriptural Poems of Truth and Hope to Awaken, Convict, and Heal.  Be sure to check out MarkRichardMinistry on Facebook. See below for details about these exciting developments and for biblically-based posts to strengthen your faith.

 

To God Be the Glory! (None to me.)

About This Website

In late November 2023, I received a strong impression to address, in a letter, those identifying as gay and Christian from my personal journey of recognizing my error, repenting, and embracing a life devoted to following Jesus Christ. The letter, titled In Error to God’s Heir, was based by

two and a half years of diligent preparation through study

of the Word, prayer, fellowship, and fasting and guided by

the indwelling Holy Spirit.

 

My letter combines a humble invitation, a bold acknowledgment of my sin, repentance, and full commitment to Christ, with more than 120 Biblical Scriptures spanning from Genesis to Revelation addressing the error of gay identity and being a Christ follower.

"If you abide in my Word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free."  John 8:31-32

I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now I see.

These beautiful words from the hymn, "Amazing Grace," speak to my life and the transformative power of The Word of God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

I was so very lost; I was a sinner who was perishing. While I was a success by the world's standards, I was spiritually bankrupt. I had deceived myself into thinking I was a good person. (Only God is the judge and standard for that.)

Praises About In Error to God’s Heir

Mark!!! This letter!  It's clear, and it gives uncompromising truth! I'm going to read through it again. But in my first run-through, as I was 3/4 of the way through, I was shouting, "C'mon, Mark!" lol. Chels was like, "What!?" I told her she needs to just read the letter. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit!

SACRED SEXUALITY

Revealing God’s Truth and Grace in a Confused Culture

In an age of shifting definitions and heated debates over love, identity, and truth, many are left wondering what God really says about sexuality. Misinformation spreads quickly, even within the Church, leaving hearts unsettled and lives adrift.

 

Sacred Sexuality invites you to rediscover God’s beautiful, unchanging design for human sexuality—rooted in the authority of His Word and revealed through the compassion of His Son. With clarity and grace, Mark Richard addresses cultural lies, dismantles confusion, and offers a biblical vision that brings freedom, hope, and healing.

 

Whether you are seeking personal clarity, guiding your children, or leading others in truth, this book equips you to live and love in a way that reflects God’s sacred purpose. In a culture of noise and uncertainty, Sacred Sexuality is a call to anchor your life in the Truth that never changes.

Scriptural Poems of Truth and Hope to Awaken, Convict, and Heal

We live in a world that is hurting, confused, and desperate for answers. In a time of moral drift, spiritual apathy, and personal pain, Words for a Wounded World offers a powerful invitation: return to the Word of God.

Each poem is grounded in the timeless truth of God’s Word and accompanied by full biblical references and devotional reflection questions—creating a rich three-part encounter with God's truth.

 

These poems were born in real moments of ministry—written for people facing addiction, sickness, sorrow, and doubt.
