This is dangerous, serving God's danger.

Because there's a way to do it that would contradict the

incarnation.

The son of man did not come to be served and there's a way that would contradict the deity of God.

God is not served by human hands as though he needed anything.

So he had two massive warnings in the Bible, they're not the only one.

That warn you not to serve God in a way that would dishonor God.

So, what is that? How do you do that?

What's the wrong way and what's the right way? Right Way.

I wrote a book called Living by Faith and Future Grace. And that book is my attempt to answer that question. What does life

look like when you're not serving God, but letting God serve you.

Trusting God to serve you every moment of the day. What does life look like when you are the beneficiary every moment of your life and God is the

benefactor every moment of your life and he is therefore getting the glory and you're getting the help every moment of your life.

What does life look like when you conceive of that way?

I have a big concern about this because all over the world and the American Church

seems to me we have done a massive and blasphemous role reversal with God in this issue of service.

And we have constructive theology, it's not usually articulated in any kind of heretical

way, it's just kind of informal theology.

Comes out in hymn sometimes, comes out in our little talks and the way we conceive and

way our minds work, that God has done a lot of things for us. God has done a lot of good things to us.

And now the way to respond to that is do a lot of good things for him.

And as it were to pay him back.
