Quote of the Day
"…our
society is strongly individualistic and 'me-centered.' We have a tendency to 'look out for number
one' and often have less regard for others.
Whereas in many of our organizations and structures individuality is
encouraged, there is little place for it in the body of Christ. Can you imagine an arm proclaiming its
independence from the rest of the body?
Not only would the arm become gangrenous and rot away, but the body
would be damaged by its absence. While
the world tends to teach us to be self-focused, as believers we must endeavor
to be others-focused. This is expressed
in Jesus's command to deny ourselves....... Many believers today envision the Christian faith as more of a picnic or a walk in the park than a bloody sacrifice of the self, but the former is not the biblical portrait."
