Title: Agenda Exhaustion

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1

Arrogance says, “Follow me to my agenda.” Humility means, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” And over time, people can tell the difference.

Your agenda will age, wear thin, and begin showing signs of exhaustion far sooner than you could anticipate.

But a life that follows Christ is full of life. It is full of joy, grace, patience, and love. It doesn’t show signs of exhaustion because it is fueled by the same power that brought life out of death. It doesn’t wear thin because its depth is as deep as eternity.

It isn’t arrogant to ask people to follow you, but it is arrogant to lead them to a place other than Christ.

Real men lead people to Jesus.

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.
