A Servant Though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them (1 Cor 9:19, ESV).

Christian Liberty You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh (Gal 5:13, ESV).

Service was Jesus Way Jesus laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him (Jn 13:4-5, ESV).

Service was Jesus Way Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Phil 2:5-8, ESV).

As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Gal 6:10, ESV).

A Slacker To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some (1 Cor 9:20-22, ESV).
