Hmn what's that about kings of the nations ,,, I missed thatThe lifestyle of a Christian ought always be one of service to God. The philosophy of a Christian ought always be that of the cross. The benefit of a Christian is that of loving relationship with God.
But rights? Now that is more complicated, because I think Christians do have a right - in the church - to be treated well by other Christians. And I think our communities - through our leaders - ought to insist on it. Is that not Biblical?
‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.'
