Listening to a teaching on what it is to be a servant in Gods house; this title Paul gives to those who are called to be leaders, truly at odds with what we see today from some Pastors. Well advised for me to follow the biblical perspective on leadership than modern mans. Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Servant: Under rower; one who sits in the bottom of the boat and row to the cadence of the master, he as well is a slave in Gods house Steward: Manage or look after anothers property, he distributes to the church the Gospel of Jesus Christ Master: Is God There are monuments erected in europe for those who were martyred for the Gospel, yet not one in America. Paul reflection on servanthood: Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,in cold and exposure. And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 2 Corinthians 11:23-31 This Paul I reckon, would not be a fan of popularity given to those who suppose to be stewards over Gods house.
