Resumen del Editor

In 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Paul explained that your salvation is an enlistment into the mission of God, “Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.” As a good soldier of Christ Jesus, you need to be trained to respond to the Lord’s calling without hesitation. You are called to live your life with the mission focus of a soldier!

As a West Point graduate and Infantry Officer who served in the US Army’s paratroopers as a platoon leader in the 82nd Airborne Division, Dr. Jerry D. Ingalls learned what it takes to train oneself and others to live on mission. Combining nearly twelve years of military experience with twenty years of pastoral ministry experience, Jerry has developed what he shares with you in this book – the training regimen of a Christian soldier’s life, based on the battle drills of a Christ-centered life. When the opportunity presents itself, or the enemy comes against you, you already need to know what to do reflexively, instinctively, and habitually, and to execute the mission with confidence! This book has two sections to train you to this end. The first section lays a solid biblical foundation for the training regimen of the Christ-centered life, through the study of Paul’s invitation to join him as a good soldier of Christ Jesus from 2 Timothy 2:1-4. The second section walks you through thirty-one battle drills, one from each chapter of the book of Proverbs; these battle drills will challenge you to train yourself to live on mission today.

As a Ranger-qualified Infantry Officer serving in a rapid-deployment airborne unit, Pastor Jerry learned the value of training the battle drills into his life and into the lives of his soldiers so that they could accomplish the mission wherever and whenever his unit was called. Soldiers participate in a strenuous battle drill training regimen so that they can respond to situations without a deliberate decision-making process – so they can live on mission today! In this book, you will be trained on how to respond to your situations reflexively, instinctively, and habitually, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Regardless of how much you know about God or say you love Him, if you haven’t trained yourself according to the soldier training regimen, as taught in this book, you will be hijacked by your circumstances, driven by your feelings, or engulfed by your nervous system. Taking you through each chapter of Proverbs, this book teaches you how to execute the battle drills of the Bible, the Christian Soldier's Field Manual, according to the Commander’s (God’s) intent, when it matters the most.

Live on Mission Today teaches you how to live a Christ-centered life by training you to live according to the training regimen of a Christian soldier. This book was designed intentionally to prepare you to be ready, at any time, to accomplish God’s calling upon your life, anywhere you are commanded to go. You are invited to learn how to train yourself, according to God’s wisdom, to grow strong in God’s grace so that you can live on mission today, without being distracted by that which is not God’s priority for your life. This book teaches you, from a soldier’s perspective, how to live your life effectively and fruitfully for God’s mission in your daily life – Live on Mission Today!
