There Comes A Time

There comes a time in a Christian's, Minister's life when we have to take a stand. We always have to take a stand for God, but this is not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is, we have to take a stand for ourselves. We as Christians must be humble, patient, and kind. Too many times people take advantage of that. They see our humility, patience, and kindness as a weakness. I can assure you that it is not a weakness, and for those who try to take advantage of me will get another thing coming to you. There is only so much nonsense I will take before I just get up and leave. I have left before and I will leave again. I make no apologies, and I have no regrets. In ministry I am here to work, spread the gospel, and teach. I make no apologies for leaving because of the fact I left those who pushed me to the side, or have taken advantage of me. I have already lost too much in my life to allow anyone to take away my relationship with God. If in the end I only have my relationship with God and have been able to bring people to Christ so they can repent and have eternal life than it was all worth it. The world has nothing to offer me, and people have nothing to offer me. God is the only one who has anything to offer. Because of Jesus I have eternal life. I want that for everyone else just like God does. But just like Christ I will not force myself onto anyone. If you push Christ away He will leave. If you push me away I will leave. You make the choice.

Joshua 24:14-15

14 “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond 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.”
