A servant isn’t exactly the post most aspire to hold. We tend to look at those in those positions as “just servants,” but the scriptures paint a very different picture of how we should look at servants. It is the servants in Acts 6 that help sustain and stabilize a potentially difficult situation, and it is those that serve that ultimately keep the church from going under. That was true then and it is still true today. Yet our culture screams the message that taking care of yourself is the ultimate in happiness and self-fulfillment. If we are Christians, we can not heed that worldly “wisdom” without also denying Christ at the same time.
