But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Matthew 10:42-45 KJV)
There is different to be a servant of world society and a servant of God. Everybody can help each other in the world. We can contribute our money to clean Gulf Coast from the oil spill. If we would give our time and finance to God first, then our contribution to the world would become more meaningful.
Nowadays, we see many America churches are making multimillionaire for selfish reason. They want to become fame, rich, and glorify himself to the world than glorifying God. This is why we see and hear many names of churches are after pastors’ names. They want to promote themselves, so the world can recognize them.
Jesus didn’t come to the world to become worldly fame, but He came to serve His people. We cannot have enough to help our people in time of their needs. Follow the servant method by Jesus Christ.
