Title: Bringing clarity


For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Hebrews 4:12


“How are you in your soul?” I remember being asked that question when I was around 6 years old. Our pastor had come to the house to visit, and in a quiet moment with just him and me, he looked me in the eye and asked me that question. I’ve never forgotten the gravity of that moment.


And today, I ask men that same question. Often, the answers are clear. Sometimes fuzzy. The clear ones come out of a life that is in the Scripture. The Word intends to bring clarity to that question. It gives us the language, priorities, and standards by which we can evaluate how we are in our souls. It penetrates and judges our thoughts and attitudes.


And I’m sure that’s why weak men neglect the Word and why real men embrace it.


Real Men embrace the Word.

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.
