Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of man did not come to be served, BUT TO SERVE, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
John McArthur: “The work of many churches would be greatly strengthened if the number of its superfluous programs and activities were cut back and the Lord’s will were sought more carefully and the principles of His word applied more faithfully. When our priorities are God’s priorities, He is free to work in us and through us to accomplish great things; but when our priorities are not His priorities He can do little with us because He has little of us.”
