SALTYSERVICE
Jesus
was clear that his followers are to be servants: "Whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant...just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Matthew
20:26-28) Service flows naturally and inescapably from the teachings and
example of Jesus. "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and
take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it." (Luke 9:23-24)
Salty Service makes a difference in
people's lives - both those being served and those serving. Salty Service
makes us "doers and not hearers only" (James 1:27) Salty Service connects
the lives of disciples with the ongoing work of Christ in the world. Salty
Service restores credibility to those who would share a Gospel of love to a
doubting world.
