Man, I am jacked up after yesterday! It will go down in history as one of my favorite Sundays! I loved everyone's response to a series on fasting. I'm telling you - God is doing miracles in people's lives and there is a lot more to come.
I just got a call from Kyle (our Worship Pastor) and his vocal chords are great! The doc was blown away! Now he just has to rehab them a little and he is on his way.
SERVANT'S HEART
I've never met a person of spiritual depth that didn't have an attitude of a servant! They are the ones who come in asking, "What can I do?" instead of, "What do I get?" They serve countless hours to create environments for God to move in others' lives. They don't walk in seeking recognition or reward, they simply want God to use them in helping others.
People with this attitude will always challenge the status quo, but never take low-level shots at authority. I love these people!
For me personally, our leadership team represents this attitude. These are 5 people who serve like crazy in our church, they encourage, they pray, they give, but they get in my face in a great way! They don't manipulate, they don't challenge without offering solutions, and they don't let the petty stuff become the focus of ministry. They simply serve and challenge.
Why is service and challenging important together? I think many people love to challenge, but they do not give, outside of their opinion. If they do, they want something in exchange for their sacrifice - a voice! People do more to divide than to build up.
A person that has spiritual depth has a servant's heart!
