The Puritan identity. On a journey to a better country (Hebrews 11:16), going further up and further in to the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God (Romans 11:33) by laboring to delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) while the war and conflict relentlessly rage on until Christ comes (Romans 7:22-25) or calls me home.
Yes, above all, may we seek to love the LORD our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our strength, and all our mind. Whether our ministry is under the radar (on buses, at work, in the line at Starbucks, on the street with the poor, with our families within the walls of our homes) or all over the internet...may our constant priority be to know deeply the love of the Father and to love him in return.
I was just listening to Ian Murray's interview on 9 Marks and he was mentioning that after seeing pastors make mistakes throughout the years he would say that pastor make the mistake of spending too much time being distracted by controversy and the internet. He recommends pastors to invest a majority of their time in the things that really matter to our Christian faith. And of course, devotional time, loving and knowing God inevitably leads to preaching about that God that we meet day-by-day and not preaching about the guy we disagree with day-by-day.
