The quickest route to humility

[rockytopva]

I attended a Free Will Baptist church while going to college. One evening they had a footwashing / communion service. Having never been to one my flesh fought me all the way to church that night and I almost didn’t go. During the service there was such tears and shouting, wow! They would pray over you as they washed the feet and it was really a dramatic sight. It was really done decent and there was such a clean spiritual sensation afterwards as I cannot describe.

I would say the quickest route to humility is in the Footwashing service and it is to my understanding other denominations have these type services as well.

Yes, I had to overcome reluctance each time (I think about 3 times now), also, in our Lutheran church. It also helps one to appreciate the humbleness and service of those doing the washing when we are experiencing it. It's one thing for a person to be reasonably friendly in conversation, but a whole nother level when they wash your feet.

I believe the quickest route to humility is to expose yourself to ridicule and mockery for living to the best of your ability a godly and obedient life. Because it is so humiliating, most people have trouble living it to the best of their ability, but it still remains one of the fastest way for growing in humility.
