Three Parades

Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 14, 2001

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2006

We as humans struggle with serving anyone but ourselves. Even as Christians we have a hard time having a true servant’s heart. Jesus shares some hard words, but they are also comforting and freeing when we realize the joys of being a servant.

For us in the U.S. much of that stems from the 1960’s when everyone was told to question authority. We were told that anyone over 30 was the enemy. Now no one born ...read more
