Somewhere in being the true follower of Jesus, just being a slave isn’t good enough. Then just being a servant 
in the religious system fails to meet the Heart’s cry for a living relationship with our Creator. The transition from slave to true servant must happen in order to receive the ‘aha’ of a new relationship with Jesus.

This can only take place in a relationship where there is no judgment and no unforgiveness, the only one who can do that is Jesus. Read more... (385 words, 2 images, estimated 1:32 mins reading time)

Recently, someone sent us an amazing article. I’ve posted it here.
When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities. When GOD doesn’t solve our problems HE has faith in our abilities.
God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. . . . .
-those of the canary in 14 days; -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) Read more... (570 words, 2 images, estimated 2:17 mins reading time)

Here is the second interesting comment:
Toxic Leadership by john Volker, a short film discussing toxic leaders.

Comments from a Reader:
Here is a Guest Post by one of our Readers. Interesting how this fits with our topic of being a servant or a son?
“I am now 75 and a half years of age. From when I can remember, church was something you attended along with others in a building. The gatherings and buildings seemed to separate the people into 2 distinctive groups: one called Catholics, the other anyone who was not a catholic. Those not catholic were dived into many separate groups. The inference was that church was a building where you conducted services. Read more...
