JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Every follower of Jesus is required to have a set of priorities that will fulfill our commander’s intent.
Most people’s priorities are designed to accomplish a task or life goal that they have instead of influencing others to follower Jesus.
Paul tells Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:4, not to get distracted by the world, because a good soldier cannot allow himself to embrace the world’s view of what life is about. Instead, he tells him to strive to please the officer who enlisted him by having a single priority and that is to be a good soldier in every aspect.
You are constantly being encouraged to care more about civilian affairs than the spiritual journey you are on, and if you are not careful, you will stop being a soldier and return to civilian life. You have been bought with a price and have been given the title of follower. Listen to the call of our commander, and let us make sure that our priority is to be a capable, proficient, and skilled warrior for his kingdom.
