As a minister of the Gospel I often think about why I do what I do. Here is a brief outline of my current thoughts on the purpose and goal of the ministry to which God has called me.
I do not desire to make a name for myself. Instead, I desire to make much of the name of Jesus both in my life and in the lives of others.
I do not desire to build a ministry. Instead, I desire to build the Kingdom of God by meeting needs and touching lives with the powerful truth of the Gospel.
I do not desire to grow a church. Instead, I desire to grow genuine disciples of Jesus Christ who will join together as the local church to cooperate together and encourage one another for accomplishing God's purposes.
I would love to flesh these out and add more but this is where I am in a nutshell.
I have so much room for improvement to live up to these goals!
"Lord, mold me, shape me, conform me, chisel me, prune me. I am yours and I exist for your glory. Make it so in my life!"
He must increase, I must decrease!
