Yesterday I wrote about the new director of The Navigators’ Military Ministry affirming what the “main thing<\/a>” is for that ministry. I hope it’s clear to readers of this blog that I’m advocating we all <\/em>have a main thing and that main thing should revolve around following Jesus wherever we are: neighborhood, work, school, church, clubs, etc., just as Jesus himself learned to be “about his Father’s business” even in Nazareth<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote earlier<\/a> that I was inspired by an obituary in which the deceased was described as one who “lived the great adventure of seeking God and loving people…” I have since refined my adaptation of that to seek God, love people, teach others to do the same.<\/em> Here is a current version of “My Main Thing:” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a war going on, and I am engaged under Jesus\u2019 banner. My joy is to advance his Kingdom. And how does the Kingdom advance? \u201cNot with swords loud clashing nor roll of stirring drums. With deeds of love and mercy, the heavenly kingdom comes.\u201d<\/em> (From stanza two of Lead on O King Eternal<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I will be SaLTy:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
