This Sunday we wrap up our "Low Anthropology" series and look into our selfishness. Paul puts it this way...
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,"
~ Philippians 2:3
One of my best memories of ministry was working with Summer’s Best Two Weeks, a sports camp in western PA. It was two weeks of sports, worship, bible study and growing relationships. But through it all, with each activity, we were trying to teach and model to the campers that the best way to live is summarized in that simple statement:
Jesus first.
Others second.
I’m third.
To this day I still recite this words in my morning devotions.
This is the counter intuitive path to joy and fulfillment and discovering your calling in life:
Serving others.
