Quote 4421

Christians are to take up a double yoke—the yoke of evangelical command and the yoke of the cross that accompanies them. In both, subjection is requisite—in the one, subjection to Christ's authority commanding; in the other, subjection to His providence ordering. And that Christians may be subject to both, they must look to the great pattern and learn meekness and humility from Him.

Some commands of God, as those which are inward, are contrary to our affections; others, as those which enforce duties external, are contrary to our interests. But we must take Christ's yoke (Matt. 11:29). A main thing to be looked at in our first applications to God is this: Are we willing to give up ourselves to the will of God without reservation? Can I subject all without any hesitancy and reluctance of thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5)?

Personal ministry is not about always knowing what to say. It is not about fixing everything in sight that is broken. Personal ministry is about connecting people with Christ so that they are able to think as he would have them think, desire what he says is best, and do what he calls them to do even if their circumstances never get "fixed." It involves exposing hurt, lost, and confused people to God's glory, so that they give up their pursuit of their own glory and live for his.
