Ministry "CHOICES"

By -
“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” (Denis Waitley)

"CHOICE" #3 - I REFUSE TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS

I have made the "CHOICE" not to be the type of person who accepts the STATUS QUO especially when it comes to God's KINGDOM WORK. I REFUSE, absolutely REFUSE to be the person who looks back over his shoulder over time and is haunted by the thought of WOULD OF, COULD OF, but DIDN'T. The song MOTIONS by Matthew West describes some of what is in my heart...

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
What if I had given everything,
Instead of going through the motions?

Without a doubt I believe I have been saved to be a KINGDOM IMPACT PLAYER and it's not because of what I bring to the table, it's because we serve and AMAZING GOD, and He is always looking for someone to do His work through. I'm that guy with my hand high in the air praying and begging USE ME. There is too much at stake to go through the MOTIONS OF DOING CHURCH. I want to see a REVOLUTION start in NEW ENGLAND and I know that won't happen unless I allow His all consuming passion burn inside of me, and I get up and do something about it!

I Anthony Milas have made the "CHOICE" to REFUSE to go through the MOTIONS!

    Wow. I don't want to regret not giving everything either. That's really convicting. Thank you for challenging me to be a more authentic follower of Jesus.

NOTHING CAN REPLACE THE LOCAL CHURCH

A pastor friend of mine and I were talking about the season the LOCAL CHURCH finds herself in right now. After our conversation he put this little slide together which is so true. Just remember this isnt burning on other GREAT MINISTRIES and PASTORS but those ministries need to be more like a 5 hour energy drink and not your main meal. Everyone needs THE LOCAL CHURCH and YOUR LOCAL CHURCH needs you. And more importantly THE LOCAL CHURCH is GODS PLAN for every Christians life. STAY CONNECTED...

COMMUNICATION IS MINISTRY

By -
COM·MU·NI·CA·TION   - 1. the imparting or exchanging of information or news.   synonyms:       transmission, conveyance, divulgence, disclosure; More   2. means of connection between people or places, in particular.  (dictionary.com) Sounds simple and yet it's one of the major reasons why RELATIONSHIPS BREAK DOWN - whether those relationships are personal or professional.  But the opposite is also true when there is a commitment to COMMUNICATION the results can be OUTSTANDING!  Dictionary.com says COMMUNICATION is the MEANS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE.   What does that have to do with MINISTRY?  Answer...EVERYTHING!  There is NO, let me repeat, NO real, meaningful or lasting ministry without COMMUNICATION.  By the way COMMUNICATION is not PREACHING AT PEOPLE its CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE.   Remember the old saying, People don't care how much you know until they know ...

THE POWER OF CAPTURING MOMENTS IN MINISTRY

By -
Last night in a CP meeting we discussed THE POWER OF STORIES - as I was reading this morning I was also reminded how important “pictures” that create conversation is to THE LORD.  Check these verse out… Joshua 4:6-7, “ 6  We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’  7  Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.”  NLT A few things about capturing picture and videos on weekends…  They capture the moment They create conversation They intrigue the next generation They EXHALT GOD They remind us of GODS POWER They remind us of GODS FAITHFULNESS They encourage us in FUTURE OBEDIENCE They remind us that GOD always keeps HIS PROMISES They give us a reference to LOOK BACK on for FUTURE FAITH They encourage us to STAY FAITHFUL even in ...
