I want to live for you

Monday...ah

So last night i was at small Group..

Mr. Fuller and Mr. Pratt were talking about what "servant" means..

Mr. Fuller asked everyone _What it meant to be a servant?_

andd _is being a servant bad?_

All the little Pratt and Fuller boys answered!

"YES!"

then Mr. Fuller said "What about what Paul said in Romans 1?"(Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus)

and Mr. Pratt "What about when Paul appeals to Philemon to free Onesimus?"(in Philemon)

they read the verses:

[⁸ Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, ⁹ yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—¹⁰ that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. ¹¹ Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me

¹² I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. ¹³ I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. ¹⁴ But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary. ¹⁵Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—¹⁶ no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.]

Then all the little kids said "uh....Both..its a good thing and a bad thing"

then they got into What about the verse about serving God? and Money?

It was very cool to hear the little kids talk about it...well some of things they said were not true, like what Ben Fuller said "It is a good thing...i am a servant to my parents"(silly boy)

And Mr. Fullers answer to that was "Your not my servant Ben! your my son!"

The word "servant" is used 767 times in the Bible(NIV)...

Hey! even Jesus served!

In John 13, Jesus washed the Disciples feet...

^[12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.¹³ “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. ¹⁴ Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. ¹⁶ Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷ Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.]

Ah...so No being a servant is not bad! but WHat are you serving?

Oh and the bible also talks about real servants in Colossians 3 (slave/servants obey you masters)

so my challenge for you is to LOOK(Ask God to show you) at what you are serving!

Are you serving money? yourself?

My Master, Father, Maker and Savior is what i want to serve!

I want Christ to be my center! THE center of my Life!

(Its a life long struggle...ha ha but really..my Father has everlasting and never ending love)

Unashamed By LeCrae

A yo man let that beat drop on em
Yea, oh you know I'm liking that right there
Wats good yall
It's yo boy Lecrae
Some call me crezy
I'm here with my 116 clique representing to you
We just want to put it down for the Lord Jesus Christ
City to city and state to state, we keep running into more 116 clique members
People who are unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
Let me tell you where we're from dog…

New Jerusalem, that's my home
Let me put it in a song, so you'll never get it wrong
No shame in the message, that's the reason I live (reason I live)
Christ up in every song, He's the reason I'm here
All they rhyme about is guns, money, sex and drugs
Eighty percent of these dudes is fictional thugs
We don't kill nobody, we don't rob no stores
We don't trap, we aint strapped, we don't smoke that dro
We aint pimpin, we aint trippin, if we tippin on some fours
den youll probaly hear dat Jesus music comin out our doors(comin out our doors)
we aint ashamed, you can call us lame,
but everybody gotta die and stand in front of the King

We unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, we unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
We unashamed

Watch this so you can really know what time it is
God is resurrected and I'm here to glorify Him
Ma Jesus, Jesus, ma Jesus might make a great tune
But we gotta lead em dipset to the weight room
I gotta date soon, but it aint soon enough
Father keep pruning us, cause its proven we known for screwing up
I cant front cause the pressure is still thick
And when sin in looks like the pressure, I'm havin to turn quick
A sin sick, so merk it like John Owen
You know when Jesus the Christ you can pay him, but still owe him
We shoulda died and been buried for our wrong actions
Instead Christ died and carried them on his own back (What?)
This is a known fact, but some say that its fiction
This is our lifestyle, no its not a religion
See I survived death back in 2002,
And religion is not at all what got your boy through
Yea your boy crayola, I don't do payola
No floors full of baking soda, just Jehovah
I get played to the left more than I get paid to write
So I aint worried about eating dog, tryin to display the fight

You see me on the block, the ava void in the land
We look the same, but we different
We bring God to this thang
While being vocal by the Lord and not a piece on chain
But don't get it twisted, its reasons these boys unashamed
How bout 39 lashes of beatings, they laughing and teasing
These blasphemous heathens reject the passion of Jesus
He fasted from speaking even with nails bashed in His feat, and the cross,
He gasping and wheezing, His lungs collect as He's breathing
The chief priest stone in the court of this chief
My Prince of Peace minus the pipe who bought my grief so no more chiefin
But like the rims that hit the curb (curb) we call em shoulder blades
We got out crosses on our back like our shoulder blade
This is death and resurrection that turned about my direction
Stepping toward perfection had nothing to do with me (do with me)
But the gospel is the power and power been men to pow out
We powed in the pavement takin the message to the streets

[wow that was long....]

Through HIS name
