Subject: [Gospelchristianity] Prayer Request...
Message-ID: <620877.94453.qm@web83401.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

We have some really close friends in Chicagoland whose brother/sis-in-law just had a baby 3 days ago and is not doing well.? They have discovered after running extensive tests due to his unresponsiveness (has not cried at all in 3 days and very lethargic) that he had a series of strokes in the womb.? They are afraid he may have pretty bad brain damage.? One of the saddest parts of this is that this same couple was pregnant before and found out at 20 weeks the baby had a major problem and miscarried several weeks later.? They have no other children.? They are not Christians, but my good friend is and she asked me to have our small group pray that if it is God's will he would grant them a miracle for baby James.? Your prayers for this family would be greatly appreciated...See you all Friday.

In Christ,
Krystl Rose

Dear Friend,

You may have heard that this past weekend, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told George Stephanopoulos on ABC?s ?This Week? that President Obama has explicitly ruled out abortion out of whatever health care bill he signs:
STEPHANOPOULOS: ?So you are saying that he will go beyond what we have seen in the House and explicitly rule out any public funding for abortion??
SEBELIUS: ?Well that?s exactly what the President said and that?s what he intends that the bill he signs will do.?

Well, you know how they say, ?Show me the money?? When I hear a statement like that from Sebelius who as governor of Kansas received hundreds of thousands in donations from the abortion lobby I say, ?Show me how you?re blocking the money.? Because the truth is that, although President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have all claimed that the health care proposals do not cover abortion, that is simply not accurate. Unless abortion funding is explicitly excluded from the health care bill, the courts will mandate coverage. This is clear to anyone who has studied the history of government-funded health care, and it?s misleading to play a linguistics game with the pro-life community by claiming abortion is not in the bills when they fully understand that it is.



AULA Heads to the White House Tomorrow


It?s not enough for President Obama to claim he won?t sign a bill that directs taxpayers? money towards abortion, there has to be an explicit exclusion of abortion in the final bill. . . and we have the opportunity to discuss the issue with his domestic policy team directly. This Thursday, September 17, I am meeting at the White House with Melody Barnes, President Obama?s Domestic Policy Advisor, and Tina Tchen, who directs the White House Council on Women and Girls. 
Our message will be very simple: Real health care respects life . . . and the American people do not want to subsidize abortion as part of health care.
The White House invited us to the meeting after we sent an open letter to President Obama about health care reform and our concerns about the anti-life elements currently included. The letter outlines the issues we plan to raise: the current health care reform bills? mandating government funding of abortion, their insufficient provisions for conscience protection, and the risk the bills carry of denial of care for the elderly. 
The meeting also gives us the opportunity to take the ?Keep Abortion Out of Health Care? petition directly to the White House!



 
Petition to the President

I will give the petition to Melody Barnes, directly - she is the President?s top domestic policy advisor. If you haven?t already signed, please take a minute to add your name to the thousands of pro-life Americans already there. And if you could also forward this email to two friends, asking them to sign. I urge you to sign the petition before Thursday you?ll find it on AULA?s health care reform Web site, RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com. We?ll make your voice heard at the White House!
Another important means of influencing Congress to include protections for life in health care legislation is the ?Voided Check? campaign of the Stop the Abortion Mandate Coalition (of which AUL is a proud member). Click on the ?Voided Check? at StopTheAbortionMandate.com to contact your elected representatives and tell them you don?t want the government funding abortion.

Thank you for joining me in protecting and defending life!
For Life,




 
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO
P.S.? If you are planning to attend the Values Voter Summit this week here in Washington, please let us know -- we?d love to meet you at AUL?s Open House event Thursday night after our White House meeting.
P.P.S.? Let me know what you think!? You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook, and follow AUL on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. We're also reachable by e-mail at info at aul.org
AUL on the BBC
AUL Senior Counsel William Saunders, during a recent trip to England, was featured on BBC Radio, giving a pro-life legal perspective on euthanasia, in an interview that you can hear online. During that same trip, he discussed AUL?s work in two talks at the annual convention of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, and attended International Right to Life's board meeting as the group?s U.S. board member. As a result of the International Right to Life meeting, AUL will be preparing legal briefs and analyses for United Nations and European Union.

I think David's directions may have just gone back to John and not  
the whole group so here they are.  The Jennings live very near the  
Godley's in River Place.  If you turn right onto Canyon Springs as if  
going to the Godley's, but then keep going you will reach a street on  
your right called Sunrise.  Turn right and the Jennings are on the  
right side at 2201.

Hey Group,

Fannie at the nursing home (Wellington) mentioned volunteer opportunities they always have a need for.  They also could make good use of any donations.  

Here is a list of upcoming events or reoccuring events you may be interested in:

Always in need of more volunteers: 
Halloween Party October 30th, 
Veterans Day, 
and Christmas

Reoccurring activities include:
the 2nd Friday of every month (The Birthday Party),
daily with activities and 10a.m. and 2:00p.m.
and Bingo on saturdays.

Since we do seem to have quite a large amount of musical talent in the group we could meake use of that for Christmas caroling or something along those limes as well. That was a suggestion from the Browns.

I did not remember that John Eric has a  Swim meet tomorrow and we have
to be in Round Rock by 7:00 am.

Julia and Caroline have Area auditions for the All-State choir on
Saturday as well.

 

Needless to say, we need to get them into bed EARLY.  

We will miss participating in prayer and fellowship.

 

We'll pray for your time.

We had a good time of sharing and just a little prayer last night.  I  
have missed our sharing and prayer times during our recent study.  I  
am looking forward to more time with you all this weekend.

Just a reminder that this weekend is the retreat.  We need to get an  
accurate count for the weekend.  If you will, please let me know if  
you plan to come.    You can give me the check for the costs this  
weekend some time if possible.

I'll try to send out more reminders during the week.

Peace,

Hey group,



Hearing all of your open hearts on Friday night really inspired me to share this.? I've been?in a funk for at least the past few weeks, and probably beyond that.



Talking with Sue on Saturday, some things came out of that conversation and have rose up in the aftermath that I felt like I could not hold back, so I thought I would open my journal, and my heart, to you.? Just a warning, this will probably resound a little more for the men, so I apologize ahead of time?if it seems targeted for that, but it's what flowed from my pen? :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------

9-26-09; I've really been in a funk and didn't know why.? Until this morning, when I spoke with Sue.? I realize that I'm focusing so much onn what I have to do (Bushido, Laerdal work, business ideas, etc), that I've completely lost sight of looking forf what GOD is doing, what HOLY SPIRIT is doing in situations and?people around me.? I've become a complainer, at best, a begrudging servant of Christ.? Someone going through the motions.? Someone just "trying to make it."? NO MORE!!!!!? 



HOLY SPIRIT SAYS, "Aaron, rise up!? Take your rightful place as an heir of heaven!"? Get out of your stinking mud hole and remember what Father has done for you, how He has changed you, how He has placed you on a path you could not imagine!



God is moving:

- In this business venture

- With people at Laerdal

- With your small group

- With people around you at church

- With your children

- With your wife

- With the disciplines of Bushido



Now OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!!!!? He is unraveling His plan right in front of you!



I've lost my sense of adventure.? I should see this as something that I GET to do!? Savor every moment!? Look for, speak with, move in, listen for Holy Spirit in every moment!? KNOW that He loves me and extend that love to others!



Father, I beg you with exertion and tears, re-awaken this in me and do not let me forget; make me WILD for you!? I want to love with deadly intensity, smashing strongholds, discouragements, and weak, unchanged?lives for you!? I want to hear your battle-call, feel my hand in the hilt of my sword and draw it forth, smashing idols and cutting barriers for Christ!? The battle rages on all around me, get up again and engage it!? Collect on Christ's purchase that was nailed to the cross!? Get RECKLESS for me in this grand adventure!??Go forth in worship and in power....MY POWER!? The same power that created and sustains the expanses of the universe!? The same power that advances forcefully on the legions of Hell....and they have no hope of standing!? They are cut down as easily as wax melts in front of a blast furnace!

--------------------------------------------------------

So there it is group.??Holy Spirit is in us, dwelling in us, the Infinite, Almighty, Eternal Spirit.

God is moving...advancing His kingdom forth.

Are?you looking?

Are?you listening?

Are?you seeking?

Are?you obeying?



I know I was NOT.? I know I won't do it perfect.? But when I get knocked down, I will get up again and keep going, knowing I'm being refined.? The Father disciplines the son He loves and does not turn him over to his own desires as in Romans 1.



My prayer for us all are that Holy Spirit would reign in us, lead us, and carry us into the fray!? That we emerge from the battlefield bloody and victorious, knowing we left nothing behind!



I love all of your hearts...they?beat so strongly for Christ and I am honored to battle alongside you!



Thank you for being so open on Friday and continue the good fight and be blessed with Holy Spirit power this week!



In Christ's terrible and precious name,

- Aaron -

This quite long for an email, but is worth your time.? It is hard to see ambition in ourselves sometimes, because it is so valued in our society.? We contrast ambition vs. laziness instead of seeing it as a subtle snare.?

Ambition is one of the greatest hindrances to the Christian life and especially to preaching because it is born of self and nurtured by pride. It manifests itself in various ways: the desire to be a great preacher, to have the first place, to be a leader, or to secure places of honor or profit veils itself under many disguises. It is christened with the surname "laudable", and comes into the church, then works its selfish, worldly schemes. A person may be a Christian by name and a church member, but if he is driven by ambition, he is an infidel at heart and worldly. The days of the prevalence of ambition in the church have been days of supreme church worldliness and extreme apostasy.

There is much in a name, and the true and wise Christian will not allow this corrupter of the faith to enter, though clothed in a garb of innocent names. Christian faith has kindled and consecrated the flame of holy zeal, stimulating and giving ardor to effort. True zeal is a heavenly fire, the purity of which disdains all earthly adulterations. Zeal crucifies self-- it fixes its eyes on both God and his glory. As Christ died for sin once, so the Christian by crucifixion dies to self and says, "Perish every fond ambition." In every moment of his life, in every vision of his eye, in every impulse of his heart, and in every effort of his hand, the Christian is to be true to the fact of this self-renouncing commitment.

Ambition is the one thing that affected the power, peace, and piety of the apostles of the Lord. We see its effects noted in their envies and strife. A few instances are recorded, but how much unrecorded jealousy and alienation was produced, we can only conjecture. We have the record of its existence and Christ's rebuke in the early part of their career and its violence breaks out under the shadow of the cross. The bitter thoughts of his death are mixed with the strife of his disciples for place and his solemn charge against the religious phase of worldly ambition. The washing of the disciples' feet was the last act of personal training that Christ used as the remedy for ambition in his disciples.

Ambition destroys the foundation of Christian character by making faith impossible. Faith roots itself in the soil where selfish and worldly growths have been destroyed. "How can ye believe," says Christ, "which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?" (John 5:44). In this statement is shown the impossibility of blending faith with the desire to receive honor from men. 

The entrance of this alluring element of human honor draws the heart from the honor that comes from God and sweeps away the foundations of faith. When the eye seeks things other than God, when the heart desires things other than God--this is ambition. No man can serve these two masters; no man can combine the ends of self and of God. He may think he can; he may seem to do so; but no one can perform this spiritual impossibility.

Ambition enthrones pride, and that is the throne on which Satan sits. Humility is destroyed by ambition. The history of the church attests to the fact that humility has no place in the church or the man that is ambitious. Humility is not a virtue of those who have sought to be put in the calendar of earthly saints. No ambition is so proud as a religious ambition, and none less scrupulous. No church can be more thoroughly apostate than the church whose leaders have come into their places though the way of ambition. No ambition is so destructive as that which comes in under the guise of religion.. Ambition is worldly, though it may be disguised under the name of Christianity. It easily deludes its possessor under the plea of a wider field of influence and usefulness; but the presence of ambition, like the soil of Sardinia, spoils even the honey.

If ambition can be religious and can preach, then it must do so without love, for love and ambition can no more unite than can light and darkness; they are as essentially at war as Christ and Belial. "Love seeketh not her own," while ambition is ever seeking its own, and not infrequently it seeks with all its heart that which is another's. Love in honor prefers one another, but ambition never does.

If Jesus Christ is to be our model preacher, if our attachment to him rises to anything above an impure sentiment, then the mind that was in him must be in us. He was without taint of ambition. We have this attitude of Christ to ambition set before us: 

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. - Philippians 2:5-8

The whole history and character of Christ are in direct antagonism to ambition.

If Paul is to serve as an example for preachers, it is at the point of freedom from all forms of ambition that his example is the most emphatic. He puts the whole inventory of ecclesiastical and earthly goods in one catalog and renounces them all in this strong language: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ" (Phil. 3:7-8); and as though this were not enough, he takes us to the cross, where every earthly thing perished in pain, shame, and utter bankruptcy, and declares; "I am crucified with Christ."

Many things often are often allowed to come into our faith and our ministry to defame them, but nothing is more deadly to us than ambition. It has in its bad embrace the seeds of all evil. It has insincerity and hypocrisy. It is a tyrant. Of all the evils that grieve God's Spirit and quench his flame, ambition may be reckoned among the chief, if not the very chief. The fact that ecclesiastical pride, church sentiment, and church worldliness will allow ambition to be christened at church altars and have the stamp of innocence and of virtue, ought to be alarming.

Is the desire for ecclesiastical advancement ambition? If not, what is it? We may say it is a laudable ambition! Can a qualifying word change the evil nature of this dark and fallen angel? Does an angelic garb make Satan an angel? We may say we want a more honorable place to do more honorable and larger service for Christ. Is not this Satan clothing himself as an angel of good? The honor of a service done for God is in no way dependent on its honorable nature or largeness. The honor of service for God depends only on the spirit in which it is done, and that spirit is one in which self-pride and ambition are crucified. Self in us looks to the future to largeness and honor. Christ in us looks to the present to fidelity and zeal for the work at hand and has no eye for self and future.

Can the preacher preach without faith? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without faith, for in Christ's service faith and ambition cannot co-exist. Can the preacher preach without love? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without love, for ambition and love have neither union nor concord. Can a preacher preach without humility? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without humility, for ambition is the very essence of pride. Can a preacher preach without consecration? If he preaches with ambition he must, for ambition is a thing to be crucified and not consecrated.. Ambition must be daily crucified because it never can be consecrated.

Ambition changes the whole nature of ministry and floods it with worldliness. Instead of the ministry being an institution where the highest Christian graces are to be produced and the loftiest virtues exhibited, ambition transforms it into a ministry where self is the mainspring and every grace is blighted.

With ambition, the church is no longer an institution to save men, where the preacher, like Christ, exhausts himself to secure this end; but it is changed into an institution to confer position on men, and all its holy places are then polluted by the grasping, selfish hand of ambition or they are trodden by its unhallowed feet.

Message-ID: <620877.94453.qm@web83401.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

We have some really close friends in Chicagoland whose brother/sis-in-law just had a baby 3 days ago and is not doing well.? They have discovered after running extensive tests due to his unresponsiveness (has not cried at all in 3 days and very lethargic) that he had a series of strokes in the womb.? They are afraid he may have pretty bad brain damage.? One of the saddest parts of this is that this same couple was pregnant before and found out at 20 weeks the baby had a major problem and miscarried several weeks later.? They have no other children.? They are not Christians, but my good friend is and she asked me to have our small group pray that if it is God's will he would grant them a miracle for baby James.? Your prayers for this family would be greatly appreciated...See you all Friday.

In Christ,
Krystl Rose

Dear Friend,

You may have heard that this past weekend, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told George Stephanopoulos on ABC?s ?This Week? that President Obama has explicitly ruled out abortion out of whatever health care bill he signs:
STEPHANOPOULOS: ?So you are saying that he will go beyond what we have seen in the House and explicitly rule out any public funding for abortion??
SEBELIUS: ?Well that?s exactly what the President said and that?s what he intends that the bill he signs will do.?

Well, you know how they say, ?Show me the money?? When I hear a statement like that from Sebelius who as governor of Kansas received hundreds of thousands in donations from the abortion lobby I say, ?Show me how you?re blocking the money.? Because the truth is that, although President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have all claimed that the health care proposals do not cover abortion, that is simply not accurate. Unless abortion funding is explicitly excluded from the health care bill, the courts will mandate coverage. This is clear to anyone who has studied the history of government-funded health care, and it?s misleading to play a linguistics game with the pro-life community by claiming abortion is not in the bills when they fully understand that it is.



AULA Heads to the White House Tomorrow


It?s not enough for President Obama to claim he won?t sign a bill that directs taxpayers? money towards abortion, there has to be an explicit exclusion of abortion in the final bill. . . and we have the opportunity to discuss the issue with his domestic policy team directly. This Thursday, September 17, I am meeting at the White House with Melody Barnes, President Obama?s Domestic Policy Advisor, and Tina Tchen, who directs the White House Council on Women and Girls. 
Our message will be very simple: Real health care respects life . . . and the American people do not want to subsidize abortion as part of health care.
The White House invited us to the meeting after we sent an open letter to President Obama about health care reform and our concerns about the anti-life elements currently included. The letter outlines the issues we plan to raise: the current health care reform bills? mandating government funding of abortion, their insufficient provisions for conscience protection, and the risk the bills carry of denial of care for the elderly. 
The meeting also gives us the opportunity to take the ?Keep Abortion Out of Health Care? petition directly to the White House!



 
Petition to the President

I will give the petition to Melody Barnes, directly - she is the President?s top domestic policy advisor. If you haven?t already signed, please take a minute to add your name to the thousands of pro-life Americans already there. And if you could also forward this email to two friends, asking them to sign. I urge you to sign the petition before Thursday you?ll find it on AULA?s health care reform Web site, RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com. We?ll make your voice heard at the White House!
Another important means of influencing Congress to include protections for life in health care legislation is the ?Voided Check? campaign of the Stop the Abortion Mandate Coalition (of which AUL is a proud member). Click on the ?Voided Check? at StopTheAbortionMandate.com to contact your elected representatives and tell them you don?t want the government funding abortion.

Thank you for joining me in protecting and defending life!
For Life,




 
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO
P.S.? If you are planning to attend the Values Voter Summit this week here in Washington, please let us know -- we?d love to meet you at AUL?s Open House event Thursday night after our White House meeting.
P.P.S.? Let me know what you think!? You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook, and follow AUL on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. We're also reachable by e-mail at info at aul.org
AUL on the BBC
AUL Senior Counsel William Saunders, during a recent trip to England, was featured on BBC Radio, giving a pro-life legal perspective on euthanasia, in an interview that you can hear online. During that same trip, he discussed AUL?s work in two talks at the annual convention of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, and attended International Right to Life's board meeting as the group?s U.S. board member. As a result of the International Right to Life meeting, AUL will be preparing legal briefs and analyses for United Nations and European Union.

I think David's directions may have just gone back to John and not  
the whole group so here they are.  The Jennings live very near the  
Godley's in River Place.  If you turn right onto Canyon Springs as if  
going to the Godley's, but then keep going you will reach a street on  
your right called Sunrise.  Turn right and the Jennings are on the  
right side at 2201.

Fannie at the nursing home (Wellington) mentioned volunteer opportunities they always have a need for.  They also could make good use of any donations.  

Here is a list of upcoming events or reoccuring events you may be interested in:

Always in need of more volunteers: 
Halloween Party October 30th, 
Veterans Day, 
and Christmas

Reoccurring activities include:
the 2nd Friday of every month (The Birthday Party),
daily with activities and 10a.m. and 2:00p.m.
and Bingo on saturdays.

Since we do seem to have quite a large amount of musical talent in the group we could meake use of that for Christmas caroling or something along those limes as well. That was a suggestion from the Browns.

I did not remember that John Eric has a  Swim meet tomorrow and we have
to be in Round Rock by 7:00 am.

Julia and Caroline have Area auditions for the All-State choir on
Saturday as well.

 

Needless to say, we need to get them into bed EARLY.  

We will miss participating in prayer and fellowship.

 

We'll pray for your time.

am looking forward to more time with you all this weekend.

Just a reminder that this weekend is the retreat.  We need to get an

you plan to come.    You can give me the check for the costs this  
weekend some time if possible.

I'll try to send out more reminders during the week.

Message-ID: <8CC0E0C297D4E76-1AF8-197AA@webmail-m047.sysops.aol.com>


Hey group,



Hearing all of your open hearts on Friday night really inspired me to share this.? I've been?in a funk for at least the past few weeks, and probably beyond that.



Talking with Sue on Saturday, some things came out of that conversation and have rose up in the aftermath that I felt like I could not hold back, so I thought I would open my journal, and my heart, to you.? Just a warning, this will probably resound a little more for the men, so I apologize ahead of time?if it seems targeted for that, but it's what flowed from my pen? :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------

9-26-09; I've really been in a funk and didn't know why.? Until this morning, when I spoke with Sue.? I realize that I'm focusing so much onn what I have to do (Bushido, Laerdal work, business ideas, etc), that I've completely lost sight of looking forf what GOD is doing, what HOLY SPIRIT is doing in situations and?people around me.? I've become a complainer, at best, a begrudging servant of Christ.? Someone going through the motions.? Someone just "trying to make it."? NO MORE!!!!!? 



HOLY SPIRIT SAYS, "Aaron, rise up!? Take your rightful place as an heir of heaven!"? Get out of your stinking mud hole and remember what Father has done for you, how He has changed you, how He has placed you on a path you could not imagine!



God is moving:

- In this business venture

- With people at Laerdal

- With your small group

- With people around you at church

- With your children

- With your wife

- With the disciplines of Bushido



Now OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!!!!? He is unraveling His plan right in front of you!



I've lost my sense of adventure.? I should see this as something that I GET to do!? Savor every moment!? Look for, speak with, move in, listen for Holy Spirit in every moment!? KNOW that He loves me and extend that love to others!



Father, I beg you with exertion and tears, re-awaken this in me and do not let me forget; make me WILD for you!? I want to love with deadly intensity, smashing strongholds, discouragements, and weak, unchanged?lives for you!? I want to hear your battle-call, feel my hand in the hilt of my sword and draw it forth, smashing idols and cutting barriers for Christ!? The battle rages on all around me, get up again and engage it!? Collect on Christ's purchase that was nailed to the cross!? Get RECKLESS for me in this grand adventure!??Go forth in worship and in power....MY POWER!? The same power that created and sustains the expanses of the universe!? The same power that advances forcefully on the legions of Hell....and they have no hope of standing!? They are cut down as easily as wax melts in front of a blast furnace!

--------------------------------------------------------

So there it is group.??Holy Spirit is in us, dwelling in us, the Infinite, Almighty, Eternal Spirit.

God is moving...advancing His kingdom forth.

Are?you looking?

Are?you listening?

Are?you seeking?

Are?you obeying?



I know I was NOT.? I know I won't do it perfect.? But when I get knocked down, I will get up again and keep going, knowing I'm being refined.? The Father disciplines the son He loves and does not turn him over to his own desires as in Romans 1.



My prayer for us all are that Holy Spirit would reign in us, lead us, and carry us into the fray!? That we emerge from the battlefield bloody and victorious, knowing we left nothing behind!



I love all of your hearts...they?beat so strongly for Christ and I am honored to battle alongside you!



Thank you for being so open on Friday and continue the good fight and be blessed with Holy Spirit power this week!



In Christ's terrible and precious name,

- Aaron -

This quite long for an email, but is worth your time.? It is hard to see ambition in ourselves sometimes, because it is so valued in our society.? We contrast ambition vs. laziness instead of seeing it as a subtle snare.?

Ambition Hinders Life and Ministry

Ambition is one of the greatest hindrances to the Christian life and especially to preaching because it is born of self and nurtured by pride. It manifests itself in various ways: the desire to be a great preacher, to have the first place, to be a leader, or to secure places of honor or profit veils itself under many disguises. It is christened with the surname "laudable", and comes into the church, then works its selfish, worldly schemes. A person may be a Christian by name and a church member, but if he is driven by ambition, he is an infidel at heart and worldly. The days of the prevalence of ambition in the church have been days of supreme church worldliness and extreme apostasy.

There is much in a name, and the true and wise Christian will not allow this corrupter of the faith to enter, though clothed in a garb of innocent names. Christian faith has kindled and consecrated the flame of holy zeal, stimulating and giving ardor to effort. True zeal is a heavenly fire, the purity of which disdains all earthly adulterations. Zeal crucifies self-- it fixes its eyes on both God and his glory. As Christ died for sin once, so the Christian by crucifixion dies to self and says, "Perish every fond ambition." In every moment of his life, in every vision of his eye, in every impulse of his heart, and in every effort of his hand, the Christian is to be true to the fact of this self-renouncing commitment.

Ambition is the one thing that affected the power, peace, and piety of the apostles of the Lord. We see its effects noted in their envies and strife. A few instances are recorded, but how much unrecorded jealousy and alienation was produced, we can only conjecture. We have the record of its existence and Christ's rebuke in the early part of their career and its violence breaks out under the shadow of the cross. The bitter thoughts of his death are mixed with the strife of his disciples for place and his solemn charge against the religious phase of worldly ambition. The washing of the disciples' feet was the last act of personal training that Christ used as the remedy for ambition in his disciples.

Ambition destroys the foundation of Christian character by making faith impossible. Faith roots itself in the soil where selfish and worldly growths have been destroyed. "How can ye believe," says Christ, "which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?" (John 5:44). In this statement is shown the impossibility of blending faith with the desire to receive honor from men. 

The entrance of this alluring element of human honor draws the heart from the honor that comes from God and sweeps away the foundations of faith. When the eye seeks things other than God, when the heart desires things other than God--this is ambition. No man can serve these two masters; no man can combine the ends of self and of God. He may think he can; he may seem to do so; but no one can perform this spiritual impossibility.

Ambition enthrones pride, and that is the throne on which Satan sits. Humility is destroyed by ambition. The history of the church attests to the fact that humility has no place in the church or the man that is ambitious. Humility is not a virtue of those who have sought to be put in the calendar of earthly saints. No ambition is so proud as a religious ambition, and none less scrupulous. No church can be more thoroughly apostate than the church whose leaders have come into their places though the way of ambition. No ambition is so destructive as that which comes in under the guise of religion.. Ambition is worldly, though it may be disguised under the name of Christianity. It easily deludes its possessor under the plea of a wider field of influence and usefulness; but the presence of ambition, like the soil of Sardinia, spoils even the honey.

If ambition can be religious and can preach, then it must do so without love, for love and ambition can no more unite than can light and darkness; they are as essentially at war as Christ and Belial. "Love seeketh not her own," while ambition is ever seeking its own, and not infrequently it seeks with all its heart that which is another's. Love in honor prefers one another, but ambition never does.

If Jesus Christ is to be our model preacher, if our attachment to him rises to anything above an impure sentiment, then the mind that was in him must be in us. He was without taint of ambition. We have this attitude of Christ to ambition set before us: 

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. - Philippians 2:5-8

The whole history and character of Christ are in direct antagonism to ambition.

If Paul is to serve as an example for preachers, it is at the point of freedom from all forms of ambition that his example is the most emphatic. He puts the whole inventory of ecclesiastical and earthly goods in one catalog and renounces them all in this strong language: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ" (Phil. 3:7-8); and as though this were not enough, he takes us to the cross, where every earthly thing perished in pain, shame, and utter bankruptcy, and declares; "I am crucified with Christ."

Many things often are often allowed to come into our faith and our ministry to defame them, but nothing is more deadly to us than ambition. It has in its bad embrace the seeds of all evil. It has insincerity and hypocrisy. It is a tyrant. Of all the evils that grieve God's Spirit and quench his flame, ambition may be reckoned among the chief, if not the very chief. The fact that ecclesiastical pride, church sentiment, and church worldliness will allow ambition to be christened at church altars and have the stamp of innocence and of virtue, ought to be alarming.

Is the desire for ecclesiastical advancement ambition? If not, what is it? We may say it is a laudable ambition! Can a qualifying word change the evil nature of this dark and fallen angel? Does an angelic garb make Satan an angel? We may say we want a more honorable place to do more honorable and larger service for Christ. Is not this Satan clothing himself as an angel of good? The honor of a service done for God is in no way dependent on its honorable nature or largeness. The honor of service for God depends only on the spirit in which it is done, and that spirit is one in which self-pride and ambition are crucified. Self in us looks to the future to largeness and honor. Christ in us looks to the present to fidelity and zeal for the work at hand and has no eye for self and future.

Can the preacher preach without faith? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without faith, for in Christ's service faith and ambition cannot co-exist. Can the preacher preach without love? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without love, for ambition and love have neither union nor concord. Can a preacher preach without humility? If he preaches with ambition, he is preaching without humility, for ambition is the very essence of pride. Can a preacher preach without consecration? If he preaches with ambition he must, for ambition is a thing to be crucified and not consecrated.. Ambition must be daily crucified because it never can be consecrated.

Ambition changes the whole nature of ministry and floods it with worldliness. Instead of the ministry being an institution where the highest Christian graces are to be produced and the loftiest virtues exhibited, ambition transforms it into a ministry where self is the mainspring and every grace is blighted.

With ambition, the church is no longer an institution to save men, where the preacher, like Christ, exhausts himself to secure this end; but it is changed into an institution to confer position on men, and all its holy places are then polluted by the grasping, selfish hand of ambition or they are trodden by its unhallowed feet.
