The Great Reward of Servanthood Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. – Philippians 2:3-4 A large group of European pastors came to one of D. L. Moody's Northfield Bible Conferences in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. Following the European custom of the time, each guest put his shoes outside his room to be cleaned by the hall servants overnight. But because this was America, there were no hall servants. Walking the halls that night, Moody saw the shoes and was determined not to embarrass his European brothers. He mentioned the need to some ministerial students who were there, but was met with only silence or excuses. So Moody returned to the dorm, gathered up the shoes, and, alone in his room, the famous evangelist began to clean and polish the shoes. Only the unexpected arrival of a friend in the midst of the work revealed the secret. When the foreign visitors opened their doors the next morning, their shoes were shined. They never know by whom. Moody told no one, but his friend told a few people, and during the rest of the conference, different men volunteered to shine the shoes in secret. D. L. Moody was a man with a servant's heart, which was the basis of his true greatness. And while many might consider his act of service as that of someone who was "super spiritual", all it took was humility to do what he did. In the same way, God calls us to humility each and every day-to live out the love and life of Christ to a watching world around us! Prayer Challenge Ask God to give you the humility it takes to show Christ's love to a watching world. Questions for Thought Think of a time when you truly served others with a humble heart. How did it make you feel? What specifically can you do today to look out for others' interests and serve them with a humble heart?

Godly marriages aren’t easy. But they’re a beautiful testament to the glory of God and the bride of Christ, the church.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) came into NBC’s Meet the Press and gave a master class in how to handle Regime Media counter-surrogacy for Democrats. Specifically, by never giving in to the Regime Media’s narratives and premises. Watch as Cotton first takes Welker to the woodshed over her insistence in defending the Biden-Harris regime from its insistence in hindering Israel’s response to the deadly Hamas attack last October 7th, and its deliberate withholding of weapons shipments to Israel over the decision to enter into Rafah: "You can do your fact-check thing all you want, I'm going to tell you the REAL facts". Tom Cotton WRECKS Kristen Welker on the Biden-Harris administration's arms embargo and overall hindrance of Israel's war efforts pic.twitter.com/kerMO1v6eo — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) September 2, 2024 By definition, an embargo is a legal prohibition of commerce. Whether it is one or multiple shipments, there was an embargo of weapons shipments to Israel as a result of its decision to undertake the incursion into Rafah. But Welker insists on lecturing Cotton, and imposing a counter-narrative that Cotton forcefully rejects. And in the immediate aftermath of an American citizen getting murdered by a terrorist organization, language matters. Speaking of language, there is the matter of abortion. To wit, the allegation of Trump “flip-flops” on abortion ahead of a vote on Florida’s Amendment 4, which would repeal the state-s 6-week law and extend abortions up to a “viability” standard of up to 24 weeks. Here again, look at how Cotton handles Welker’s premises: WATCH: Tom Cotton flips Kristen Welker's abortion question- from Florida's 6-week law to the "Women's Health Protection Act" pic.twitter.com/18PaCqvB2Z — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) September 2, 2024 Cotton basically turns Welker’s arguments on their ear. From the Florida law and ballot initiative to the Democrat bill that would have enshrined unfettered abortion throughout the land, with very few limits. Cotton forces Welker to defend that bill, and puts her on the spot with regard to the exceptions.  Here again, Welker firefights for Kamala Harris by splitting hairs on the definition of “voted against”, with regard to a revised Born Alive Infant Protection Act. In this Senate era, where 60 votes are needed for things to come to a vote, A vote against cloture these days is, in effect, a vote against a bill, no matter how much Welker would like to say otherwise. Additionally, Cotton had to deal with Welker covering for the Regime on the Abbey Gate dead, as did every other Regime Media Sunday show. The lesson remained and was consistent throughout: NEVER accept the media’s premises or narratives. Tom Cotton demonstrated that in a forceful manner.
