Wisdom? Weapon? Word? It depends on how we read the scriptures.

Matthew 23:1-12



In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: "The greatest among you will be your servant."

This passage makes it clear that preaching the gospel without practicing it is worthless. Without matching deeds, our words are hypocritical. We are called to be servants.

We need to be humble about the good that we do.  We are to live out the joyous faith of Christian witness without seeking praise and recognition. We are called to be servants.

Grace and peace...Bob
