One of my previous professors from ACU, recently started blogging. He just finished three posts about having a song, a paragraph, and a passage of scripture to sustain a persons ministry.

Second, because I remember him telling us this in class (which was about ten years ago), and I never really took it all that seriously. I guess it was more of a school exercise then, because I really didn’t know what I wanted ministry to look like.
Therefore (ten years later and not much wiser), I am going to give it another try.

By ministry, I mean how I serve God’s Kingdom or the ways in which God has gifted me to help usher in His Kingdom, this may or may not be what I am employed to do at any given time in life. At different times in life, I may have a “tent-making” job, be employed in professional ministry, be a stay at home dad with a supportive sugar-momma, win the lottery, and/or receive large inheritance from long lost relative. Also these next three posts aren’t about the totality of my life-in-Christ, but more about my work in this world for Christ and His Kingdom.
