serve or served?
I have a quandary on my hands. I have been in the church for quite q few years now. I have seen all kinds of Pastors. I have seen some that think the world revolves around them. I have seen some that are complete opposites and you can not do anything for them. I heard about a female minister the other day she flew into a town to preach. This church was not real big but they flew her out and picked her up in a nice car the Pastors no less. Well she had a fit, she refused to ride in it. She told them it had to be a Jag, a Bently, a Benz she would settle for a Escalde. She demanded her armor bearer ride with her just a real pain. Well this got me thinking. Dangerous I know :). Well I believe in giving honor to the Man or Woman of God, but the last I checked Jesus is our example. He said we are to be the servant of all. It seems to me that ministers and Pastors are here to serve and not be served. Jesus washed the feet of his desciples I bet that lady would have a fit. Well I decided that I will not ask for special items, like I will not look for and ask for a armor bearer. If a person feels that he should I will not stop that but I refuse to cheapen the gospel by putting demands on people, I can carry my own bible and computer. I can get my own water. Jesus who was king of kings and Lord of Lords first born of the most Holy God was the servant of all, that is what I strive to be. But that is my view and I know people will probably disagree. God bless.
