Philosophy of Ministry: Conclusion

Hi folks! I apologize for not posting soonest. JC had a cold and was transferred to me so we were both feeling under the weather for a week or so. Though we did not get to the point of developing a fever, I was not still at my best to be doing the same daily chores.

I hope you enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. We sure did! We checked out the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and had a chance to tour the aircraft carriers, a British Airways Concorde and the submarine during the Fleet Week in Manhattan.

So I end now the 3-part series of the Philosophy of Ministry. In conclusion:


1. Let’s be fearful:
“Cursed be the one who does the Lord’s work negligently, and cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48.10).” Nadab and Abihu learned the hard way not to be flippant and careless in the service of our holy God.

2. Let’s be fervent:
“The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks is to do soas one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

3. Let’s be focused:
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

4. Let’s be faithful:
…It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.
