There is nothing worse than being bullied. Especially is this true when it is coming from someone who is “a public servant.” My granddaughter came home for Thanksgiving along with her roommate. When she went to get on the plane for her return trip in Eugene, the woman gave her and my wife a terrible time. It was stressful to say the least.

Two things people lust for more than anything else. The first is money. The more the better. They will do most anything to achieve financial security. The apostle Paul once wrote “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” History has borne this out. Simply read history and you will see how one’s lust for money played its part in all sorts of evil things that took place. The second thing people lust for is power. Give someone a little power and you will not recognize them. They take on a whole new persona that had been lying dormant. The woman at the airport had been given power and she loved it to the point of harassing an innocent teen girl returning to school and her grandmother.   Jesus [even] had this problem with His disciples, so it is not new. However, Jesus said if you want to find greatness, become a servant. Servants are not bullies.

Please come and worship with us Sunday, and remember: EVERYONE is welcome here.
