Worship…Our Reasonable Service, part 3

Many of us, especially the races of us who have had to deal with the tyranny of slavery in the annals of our fore parents’ history, often have a problem with this area. Whenever I teach in the arena of service mindedness, I can see people balk in the spirit. It’s not until I make the following statement that I see them breathe a sigh of relief: There is a difference between service and servitude.

For support of this statement, let’s go to the dictionary’s definition for both words. Service is defined as: Employment in duties or work for another. Servitude is defined as: Submission to a master; forced labor imposed as a punishment.

Do you see the difference? Service means employing. Employing means wages! Wages means compensation! Hallelujah, there is a benefit in service! We may not get compensated in terms of money all the time (although I believe in blessing God’s ministers). But we can rest assured that our heavenly time card will account for our deeds done.

It is a slap in the face of God to serve mammon (secular employment, volunteer organizations, etc.) with vigor, excitement, willingness and enthusiasm, yet sigh and complain when asked… Continue reading →

Worship…Our Reasonable Service continued

Make no mistake, this is not a step that we can skip. Are you finding yourself defeated in your ministry effectiveness? Do you feel like you are going around in circles, having no impact or consistent anointing? Check your serve!

God will not violate His spiritual law of stewardship St. Luke 16:10-13 says .“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

I’ve heard it said, “A lesson not learned must be repeated.” Many times, helps workers or parishioners are frustrated in ministry because they are trying to serve God in spite of their service to others (Or… Continue reading →

Worship…Our Reasonable Service, part 1

by Mark Peay

H.E.L.P.S. is often defined by the acronym, Having Enough Loving People Serving. As such the emphasis is usually placed on the words Enough and/or Loving. Both words play equally significant roles in the whole Worship experience. However, we will focus on the word Service.

In the mid 1980’s, a small airline company called People’s Express began focusing on getting customers to their destinations faster, for less. They decided that Americans wanted fewer perks and lower costs. They made the airline ticket purchase process similar to that of buying a Greyhound bus ticket. If you wanted snacks and a soft drink on the flight, it would cost you extra. The planes were smaller and the seats similar to those on a chartered bus. In other words, “just the bare necessities”-style, expeditious travel took the place of service, convenience and luxury.

The only problem was that the airline did not properly assess the core of what the American public really wanted (and still do)….SERVICE! Their misconception cost them their business and they eventually filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. You see, we can tolerate fast food and drive-thru shortcuts in some things. But when it comes… Continue reading →
