"When we go out to serve others, we
will often find ourselves taken advantage of. It’s unavoidable. Yet when we
remember what a great pit we were pulled from by the Head of the Church, and
what it cost the King in His self-sacrifice, we will be rebuked, humbled, and
given persistence to pull others from the same pit… This is the supreme cause
of diaconal blindness in the local church. We have forgotten how great our own
sins are, and feel, perhaps unconsciously, superior to the ‘unwashed’ sinners
around us…"
Jack Miller
"He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy...." Titus 3:5
