What Are You're Priorities?

"Then Jesus said to Simon, 'Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men.' So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him."  (Luke 5:11)

The challenge with the world’s priorities is that they make sense. We can rationalize and spiritualize the world’s priorities, but that doesn’t make them more desirable from an eternal perspective.

When Jesus called the fishermen to follow Him, He had just performed a miracle with a huge catch of fish. Amazingly, when the boats are brought back to shore, it says that they “left everything and followed him.” Did you ever wonder, “Who cleaned and stored all those fish?”

It would have been easy for the future disciples to say, “We’ll join you as soon as we get this job done.” It sounds very responsible. But in this case, it would be the wrong choice. The disciples did the right thing by dropping everything and immediately following the Savior.

Many times in outreach the world’s priorities creep in. Sometimes it comes in the form of doing a task instead of stopping to pray with someone. Other times it’s closing down a ministry because the money doesn’t seem to be available—even when you know God wants you to do it. We have all given in to the priorities all around us to the sorrow of our Savior.

On The Journey

A life spent following Jesus as our Lord and Savior is a wonderful journey. As my wife, Alice, and I look back at our lives, we can see how God has moved and prepared us both individually and as a couple for a life of serving Him in a cross-cultural environment. I’ve had an interest in people from other cultures for years, but it wasn’t until we began working with a new Hispanic church plant in Virginia that we felt God was calling us to full-time missions, and ultimately leading to our work in India.

When trying to discern God’s will for our lives, two of our greatest resources are spending time with the Lord in prayer and studying His Word. God places different circumstances and people in our path to guide us and draw us closer to Himself. It’s easier to see Him when we have His Word on our minds and in our hearts.

After a short-term summer mission trip to work with a radio ministry in the Alaskan bush, we learned that although we loved working with our fellow missionaries, God drew us to the ministry of spending time with the native Alaskans. Connecting with them through our life stories and common interests helped us see that even though the world God has created is diverse, we all have a desire to be loved and to know Him—whether we’re conscious of it or not.

What is your role in the Great Commission? How has God shaped your life to share His grace and love? For some it may be moving to a distant land where His name isn’t known, and for others it is sharing the love, joy, and hope of knowing Jesus at home in the U.S. with family, friends, and neighbors.

Lepers Fund

For some time now we have been helping victims of leprosy in the state of Andhra Pradesh, around the city of Tenali. AIM would like to extend our ministry to help lepers in other areas also. AIM provides basic food, water, and clothing. Believers in Christ also receive spiritual nourishment which is a great encouragement. The ministry shares the Gospel every time we visit a leper colony and many of the victims have found the hope of eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior.

This is an excellent project for local churches, Sunday schools or Christian groups in America to undertake. If you would like to help support this ministry to lepers just click here to Donate Now.
