Bible Question (short): How to sharpen service skills? |
Question (full): Dear Emmaus, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I would have to agree that (ideally) we should serve in all we say and do, in the name of Jesus, and as unto the Lord Himself! Yes also to husband/wife, parent/child, master/slave and citizen/community(country) relationships! But what about sheep/shepherd and sheep/sheep relationships in the local church? So far, I dont see much being said about service in this realm. Truly, most of us are rather poor and grumbling servants! What does the Bible say about sharpening those service skills? How do we differentiate between serving the 'institution' and serving the Lord in His church (His people)? Joy and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
