3 – Perfect Completion

20 – Waiting and Expectancy

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. Philippians 3:20 NLT

\nExpectation of Serving\n

Since my first life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ, I remain a non-apologetic, drop-dead, sold-out Jesus Freak. Yes, I\u2019m the Christian the devil warned you about. I am unafraid to admit I want to use whatever influence I have to direct people into looking for Jesus.\n

To do that, I don\u2019t have to be \u201cchurchy.\u201d I often talk about secular things, and this seems to trip a lot of people up. You see, I don\u2019t see a line between the sacred and the secular. All life belongs to God, and He can be seen in all of life.\n

What am I getting at? This – ministry is only effective when you\u2019re willing to serve the people you are ministering to. You will be called into uncomfortable places. You will get dirty because people who are digging a hole to hell are covered in filth. Help them put the shovel down!\n

The ability to make a difference in somebody\u2019s life does not come from being the meanest, smartest, or loudest. It comes from a willingness to serve.\u00a0If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant to all.\u00a0\u2013 Mark 9:35\n

Jesus served the disciples \u2013 a group of total knuckleheads who spent three years with God Himself yet didn\u2019t understand a lot about who He was or who He wanted them to become. They went to weddings, funerals (though Jesus generally raised the dead), held babies, ate, drank wine, fished, and just lived life with Him. Jesus wasn\u2019t churchy, and we shouldn\u2019t be either.\n

To serve others, we must be real. Be the Christian the devil warns against. Get dirty and serve the way Jesus did. Today is a good day to be dangerous to the enemy.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Expectation of Serving

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I am a sold-out Jesus lover who is willing to serve His Kingdom in any way I can. I listen to Holy Spirit and reach out to others to help them find Jesus. Compassion fuels my actions.
