We have , Dear Reader, become used to living in a service society. Sadly this means people serve us. We only serve them when we are also paid to do so. This was never the model that Jesus showed. He came as the servant King, freely giving, without demanding in return. Yet posing a question, which instigated response. Those who truly understand his gift of service via sacrifice, change their ways of living. The ties of sins which were upon their life are loosed and gone, and the lifestyles associated with these sins are shunned in favour of God's plans. Yet still the consumerism enters church life, people attend large church's to see what they can have for their family, instead of asking, how can they serve God in the community in where they live. We need as believers to stop being consumers and to start being free service providers, to start in fact being servants, like Jesus. Which are you in your faith?
