The Methuselah Ministry

By Bro Johnny D Richard

A common, cynical saying holds that most Christians are like Methuselah, since all he ever did was live and die. But is this really the case? Both his name and long life suggest a man of God of great character who served the Lord quietly and faithfully.

Many Christians are indeed like Methuselah. Their testimony of life, their wisdom, and their strong service glorifies God. In return, they ask for nothing-no recognition, no fame, no reward this side of glory. They work tirelessly in this corrupted world, obedient to the Lord and dedicated to pleasing him.

These are the Christians who, as 2 Corinthians 6:9 says, are unknown although they are well-known-unknown in the body of Christ, but well-known by the Lord. Ordained minister and served as a deacon Brother Johnny calls those who practice such quiet devotion the "Methuselah Ministry" in recognition of their willingness to work without praise or recompense.

You may be part of the Methuselah Ministry and not even know it-along with countless others. Members of this ministry do much more than live and die: like Methuselah, they live and die in service to the Lord.
