Strength is for Service, not Status

“Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status.” (Romans 15:1, The Message)

I love how the message ends this admonition from Paul:  Strength is for service, not status.  Those who are strong in the faith are not called to point that fact out so that everyone will notice.  They are called to use it in service of our Master, Jesus Christ.  They are to lend a hand to those who falter. 

Are you strong for status, or strong for service?
