You won’t follow him

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33

“What do you want in life?” The answer to that question will guide you throughout your days, weeks, months and years. If you are driven by pride, pleasure, or power; then you will never be able to follow Jesus.

You might be able to walk with Him for a bit. But you won’t follow Him, pride won’t let you. You might even be a part of some great experiences; but at some point it will cost you pleasure. You could even use your power and influence to impact others in a positive way; but Christ doesn’t need your power for his work.

What Jesus tells us is this, “You have nothing to offer me. But I still want you. Seek me first, and everything you need to live the life I have for you will be available.”

Real men want the life Jesus offers.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
