   Judges 6:12  The LORD is with you, mighty warrior

“What we do here echoes in eternity”

We were designed to have a lasting impact on eternity. Everyone will die, but few people will ever truly live. To live like a Centurion, to live with honor before God and others, to live with commitment to principle, to live with dedication to a cause, to live with compassion for others, is to live in a way that will echo in eternity.

Question: "What is Christian ministry?"

Answer:
"Ministry" is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning "to serve" or douleuo, meaning "to serve as a slave." In the New Testament, ministry is seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry—He came, not to receive service, but to give it (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17).

The Christian should minister by meeting people's needs with love and humility on Christ's behalf (see Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5
,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12). Christians are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would.

The ministry in our day has taken on more of a vocational meaning as we call pastors "ministers" to full-time service. Pastors do spend their lives in the ministry, they do minister to others, and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry. From the early New Testament churches to the churches of our day, each Christian should be in the ministry of helping others (see Romans 12:3-8, 10-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-26).

The content of ministry seems to prioritize the ministering in spiritual things, not just practical things. Ministry should certainly place emphasis on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can come to know Him and receive Him as personal Savior, go on to experience Him as Lord of their life, and go even further to know Christ as the essence of their Life (see John 1:12; Colossians 2:6-7; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:8-10). Ministry can, and should, include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of others. Jesus did, and so should we!

July 3: Judging Others

 

Recently, while leading a group of businessmen in a Bible study, I had the uncomfortable feeling that I was being scrutinized… and judged, as several of the men projected a supercilious manner in icily quizzing me:

"With what group are you affiliated ? What is your educational background? What is your theological position on such and such… ?" etc. etc.

In reflecting back on that encounter I am reminded of Paul's admonition:

"Why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat?" (Romans 14:10)

Here, "judging" conveys a censorious attitude toward others without first possessing the facts. That is not to suggest that we should avoid the practice of carefully looking for the evidence of godliness in professing believers' lives: "By their fruit you will recognize them." (Matthew 7:15-20)

The Scriptures inform us that judgmental people:

Tend to be blindly self-righteous:

King David, for example, piously condemned the man in Nathan the Prophet's story who had stolen another man's lone sheep, while he himself had stolen Uriah's wife, Bathsheba:

David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, 'As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die!' (2 Samuel 12:1-10) (Also Romans 2:1-4; John 8:1-11)

Tend to be harder on others than they are on themselves:

Christ admonished us, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3)

Await God's judgment:

"When you, a mere man, pass judgment on them… do you think you will escape God's judgment?" (Romans 2:3)

Isn't it Christ's way to accept people by assuming the best of them until they give us good reason to believe otherwise? After all, "love looks for a way of being constructive." (1 Corinthians 13:4 J. B. Phillips)

Certainly this is how Jesus treated Peter the day they met. Christ, knowing full-well of Peter's future instability, gave him a name that conveyed strength and solidity: "Thou shalt be called Cephas… a stone." (John 1:42b).

"And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Joshua 24:15
