Life has been pretty good lately. Busy, but good. It’s a season where I’m finding myself being stretched in every way possible. It’s a good thing, because it’s forcing me to depend on Jesus more than ever before. One thing I’ve quickly learned about ‘Ministry Life’ is that you don’t work normal hours. In fact, you don’t even really view it as work, because deep down in your heart you know it’s your calling. It’s what God’s called you to do. Ya, you get your 40 hours in on the clock, but it doesn’t stop there. You keep working, and you keep working hard.
William Booth once said, “while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight.”
There’s this new passion inside of my heart to fight, and it doesn’t matter what’s in front of me, I will fight until the end. I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done, because there are people who need to know about Jesus. One day I’m going to be held accountable for how I spent my time here on earth, and I think about all of the people who are dying and going to hell. I want to be able to say that I gave it my all, did my absolute best to build His church and reach everyone I could.
The life I’m now living? It’s not work to me, it’s my calling, and by the grace of God, I’m never going to stop.
I’ll fight.
- Joe

I wish I could put my feelings down like this. Keep on going Pastor Joe. You are touching millions of lives in ways you won’t see until you are in Heaven. “Drop me in the middle so I can make a ripple, a domino effect upon the oceans of people in the sands of time.”
Thats great man!
