Is The World Out Of Control?

Contributed by Don Hawks on Aug 10, 2008

We have this tendency to be selfish--to look out for #1--me, me, me. The true #1 is God and God’s ways. Jesus shows that making God #1 means not thinking we are better than others. John 13 (foot washing) is a beautiful expression of this.
