Being a servant is an important part of man’s composition. When serving others, the Bible tells us that things will come back to us measured out, packed down and overflowing.
I believe it all hinges on serving others and taking our eyes off ourselves.
Lets not leave out that the blood of martyrs is the seed of faith, and that suffering well and dying well is our Way of the Cross, the path most certainly for His Church and her redemption.
Prayers of the Church are a lifetime study of preparation for our dying well. Politics is sometimes irrelevant in importance until it messes with the Church. We actively seek to be not foolish but fearless, by His stripes and death.
