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!

March 9: If Jesus Christ Were The CEO
If Jesus Christ were the CEO of a "for profit" company, what
would be its objectives?
Consider this:
1. "TO HONOR GOD IN ALL WE DO.
Jesus: "I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work
You gave me to do." (John 17:4 niv)
2. "TO HELP PEOPLE DEVELOP.
Paul: "We [teach] every man with all wisdom, that we may present
every man complete in Christ." (Colossians 1:28a)
3. "TO PURSUE EXCELLENCE.
Paul: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about these things." (Philippians 4:8 niv)
4. "TO GROW PROFITABLY."
Solomon: "All hard work brings a profit… plans of the diligent
lead to profit." (Proverbs 14:23a; 21:5a)
These are the objectives of Servicemaster, a Fortune 500 Company
that provides services to hospitals, colleges, plants, and
homes.
Perhaps at the root of many of our conflicts in business lies a
confusion about AFFECTION and MOTIVES relative to God, money,
and people:
We are to love God and hate money. (See Matthew 6:24)
We are to serve people and use money. (See Philippians 2:3;
Ecclesiastes 5:19)
When we reverse the order, God simply removes His hand of
blessing from our efforts. Work then deteriorates from a divine
calling into a chore, and the stress level escalates to
exponential proportions.

"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
