If you want to be great you must be a slave

[Beth77]

I love this! We see so many Christian church leaders who become wealthy and enjoy being praised and exalted while ignoring what Jesus commanded. We must humble ourselves and serve others, not the other way around!

Matthew 20:26-28: "Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Serving others and meeting their needs is a popular way of generating wealth. Problem solving has always been lucrative if properly done. Duplicitous pastors rely on emotional manipulation and mind games to do the same.

Serving others and meeting their needs is a popular way of generating wealth.

And that's a good thing, in my view.

Those who want to emulate Christ in order to be "great" must follow his example to serve others and to be their "slave"

Yeah, pastor acts like he should be a mini pope ... people encountering this attitude waiting to receive equivalent service.
