Realize Everything Succeeds Under Loving the Son

By Dr. Kenneth Harold McMillan

Is there a goal or mission in life that you feel compelled to achieve? Has the Lord placed an objective in your heart? Author Dr. Kenneth Harold McMillan believes that we all have a purpose, a mission, and a calling to do something for the Lord. When we understand that God is really calling all believers to enhance His kingdom, we must ask Him: What is my personal role in all of this?

Realize Everything Succeeds under Loving the Son offers you the opportunity to take inventory of your heart, purpose, and goals in life. When you undertake this self-examination, you may find yourself struggling to ask yourself the hard questions. If you are honest with yourself, you may be unsatisfied with what you see. But if you desire to see God’s will in your life and in the lives of others, then you can hold yourself accountable for living the truth of His Word. And when you do so, you can achieve great results—changing lives, saving souls, and making the world a better place.

This inspirational study invites you to advance in Christian discipleship and in your Christian walk, working toward attaining your desired results by trusting God and following Jesus

Author’s Note

T HE FRONT COVER represents decisions that everybody must make. The center cross represents the lovingkindness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins—the greatest miracle and gift the world has ever received.

Have you noticed the other two crosses to the left and right of the center? One represents mankind’s decision to accept responsibility for erroneous actions and sins. Mankind accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at that time and place. The other cross represents mankind’s indecision to not accept responsibility for erroneous actions and to not accept God’s gift of salvation. We must pity the souls of those who chose this path. So many people have the opportunity, but they never accept Jesus.

When we understand that God is really calling all believers to enhance His kingdom, do we ever ask Him: What is my personal role in all of this?

I have been a pastor for more than sixteen years and preach and teach in a Bible-believing, Jesus Christ-loving evangelistic church. We believe the Holy scriptures are the inherent, infallible, undeniable, life-giving, heart-changing Word of God.

The personal mantra by which I live is: I do not do anything Half-heartedly, make Excuses, have a Lying tongue, or bask in Laziness (HELL). The Lord created the Link Baptist Church to be a church that would connect and lead this generation back to God. We are an evangelistic, discipleship church because we have a strong desire to see souls saved and believe God has given us a mission, vision, and purpose in achieving results. We believe in the whole counsel of God and desire to be living epistles that the Lord Jesus is sending out to the world as proclaimers of His Good News.

After a good season of a few years of learning and teaching, we desire to see God’s will in our lives and in the lives of others. We hold
