Comments on: Antiaxiom Three http://kylesrandom.com/2008/11/antiaxiom-three/ Ideas and stuff from the blog of Kyle Gilbert Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:50:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Aaron http://kylesrandom.com/2008/11/antiaxiom-three/comment-page-1/#comment-325 Aaron Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:10:17 +0000 http://www.kylesrandom.com/?p=453#comment-325 "Ministry" has been my "job" for a little more than a year now and it is very clear to me that it is easy to slip into this mentality. Before I came, my philosophy was more "A job is my ministry." Anyone doing any job (well not any job) could do it as ministry. When you do everything for the Lord (ministry) it makes everything more meaningful and fulfilling. When ministry becomes a job, it makes it stressful and keeps us from accomplishing more. Great post to help me ensure I don't slide into this thought process. “Ministry” has been my “job” for a little more than a year now and it is very clear to me that it is easy to slip into this mentality.

I've been really challenged by some of the posts I've read on your blog lately too. You've got some great thoughts on accepting Christ's justification rather than trying to justify ourselves. That's something that really hits home for me. Steve, I really think this is something that every person and organization struggles against. Nobody is immune, or at least not me. Our flesh wages war against the Spirit. It makes us fearful and makes us hide. It makes us feel like we can make ourselves secure rather than trusting God. Andy, thanks for the compliment.

Actually, it's very unfortunate that the attitudes and/or methods of operation that you share are true (I'll save my soap box talk for one of the upcoming posts...keep 'em comin'). Thanks for the posts. I hope that you have plenty more in reserve; this is currently my best resource for ministry insight (miss you, Brother).
