God's Economy: Tactic #1

"Lives of Significance and Service" is the wonderful North Park slogan we all know too well, and I must admit that in my time at North Park I really have learned more about being a servant than I have in all the church events I went to in high school. I am still not a very good servant, but have met a few who love to serve and in doing so shine with the light of Jesus. It is through watching and talking with these people that I have been more convicted to serve. However, it is also because of this that I found this chapter of Wilson-Hartgrove rather dull. For almost thirty pages Wilson-Hartgrove tells us why we should serve, but does not offer much advice on ways to put that into practice (that is, unless we are like St. Francis of Assisi or Peter Maurin). It really all goes back to love. By loving others, serving them becomes something we want to do rather than something we know we have to do.
