From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.
Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.
Church isn’t a spiritual good luck charm to keep demons or bad juju away.
To belong to the Church is to actively take part in the very thing Jesus is building today. You want to grow closer to Jesus? Get planted in a healthy church and serve!
Whatever church you attend, make sure that the minister is actually bringing forth doctrinal substance & not some sloppy commentary disguised as “passionate preaching.”
Paul told Timothy, “PREACH THE WORD!”
Start in the Bible, stay in the Bible & finish strong in the Bible!
🚨 The 3 P’s of Ministry
1. PURPOSE — Why you’re called
You must know what God told you to do.
Not what people suggested. Not what’s popular. Not what works for someone else.
If your purpose isn’t settled, pressure will move you.
2 Timothy 1:9 (KJV)
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace…”

2. PRICE — What it will cost you
Ministry is not a hobby.
There will be:
Pressure
People problems
Persecution
Weariness
And faith doesn’t remove the fight, it gives you power to win in it.
2 Timothy 2:3 (KJV)
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
⸻
3. PROFIT — Why it’s worth it
The reward is not temporary, it’s eternal.
Souls saved
Lives changed
Eternity impacted
That’s what carries you when you’re tired.
Matthew 25:21 (KJV)
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant…”
If your PURPOSE is clear, you’ll pay the PRICE because you’re focused on the PROFIT.
