The pursuit of certainty has leaded me to discovery of a deeper understanding of life. Doctrine replaces speculation with reality. I always remember a heart felt passion to understand life. My prayer life has leaded me to humble and strive to be a selfless disciple. As a young man theory and imagination was not as fulfilling as the truth.
God’s love is the reward for living a selfless life. Theology is at the heart of Christ Church. In order to bring Christ to the world we have to understand his teaching as fact. As a follower of Christ call to evangelize it is my responsibility to discern and proclaim the Gospels. My pursuit of holiness has leaded to a desire for knowledge in order to deliver truth. As a Coordinator of Youth Ministry I am responsible for the formation of knowledge of lay people that have to know and discern God’s will. In order to build the Body of Christ we have to understand our commission from the Father through the Son to decrease so that God may increase.
Theories are imaginative ideas that are disproved by facts. No one enjoys being wrong. Understanding our Eternal Fathers’ gift of life brings him glory. Common sense motivated by the Holy Spirit leads to the divine truth of life. Our studies should separate us from the deception of the world and expand our understanding and our hearts capacity for love. True knowledge of doctrine leads to selfless service and a passion of life motivated by Gods’ love.
The beauty of the gift of life calls us to share through service. As a young man I remember reading a placque my mother had on the wall, “What is an honorable man”. Pursuing honor has directed me into a deeper relationship with our Messiah. Through the years I have learned to appreciate the rewards in my life as a result of living a life that brings glory to God. Unconditional giving is the greatest display of love a human can give. It is also the depths of true honor. Christ life displays nothing but sacrifice, and service. My call to become a disciple came before I knew enough to truly discern it. My formation has guided me to know joy in my life as a result of striving to please God. Joy is motivation to share the blessings of knowing and following Christ.
