Sun // Sacrifice :: Acknowledge

Title: Higher Expectations

Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32

When I was a kid, this verse was used to explain why we prayed for our food in public. It was the baseline standard for letting others know about your faith.

It initially felt more like a show, a duty, than a real moment of gratitude and engagement with the Lord.

I’m relatively sure Jesus had higher expectations than that.

We live in a broken, dishonest, inconsistent, self-obsessed, narcissistic world. Being the opposite…not out of your own strength…but because of what Christ is doing in you, it is an acknowledgment of who God is in your life.

Real men live lives that acknowledge the Lord.

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.
