Bible Conference Update

Some quotes from Larry Mercer speaking on the topic of servanthood from last night's address:

"If we see God properly, we will see ourselves and other people properly."

"If you can drive it, eat it, live in it, or wear it, you can't take it with you (after your life). 'Success' and the symbols of it are temporary."

"Obsession with self leads blinds us to seeing the needs of other people. (Quoting professor Howard Hendricks) 'A life wrapped up in itself makes a very small package.'"

"Security with who you are in Christ results in sensitivity to others...and the converse is true as well."

"How do you know someone is truly a servant? By the way they act when they're treated like one."

"If you have a 'why' for living, you can deal with almost any 'how.'"
