Chapel was great today, as always!
He spoke from John 13:1-17 about Jesus washing his disciples feet.
And how servant-leadership does not give away authority but validates it! And then he read from Philippians 2:5-8, some good scripture right there!
He talked about how we need to make decisions not based on popularity but on sacrificial decisions based on the best of others!
It was chapel on ORU Outreach, which is awesome, and he was talking about how practical touch to humanity is what makes a difference. Like Mother Theresa and how she will forever be remembered, not because she was beautiful or had all the money in the world but she touched humanity on a practical level.
He told a story about a little boy who was in his room at night and he was scared and his dad went in to check on him and he told his dad he was scared. And his dad said he didn't need to be scared because Jesus was with him. And he said, I know Jesus is with me dad but I just need someone who has a skin-face with me.
And Dr. Rutland was just saying how we are to be Jesus to people because a lot of people know that Jesus is there but they need the practical touch of another person. And we are to be that.
Service gives us the opportunity to put actual feet in what we say we believe.
We are to live lives of significance and in our service to Christ, we will find happiness.

Wow your chapels seem way better then ours! Today we had students from our student government talk about what they were doing. I felt bad for them but it was lame. But now I feel bad saying that after reading what you wrote b/c that is how they serve others.
yeah, I always try to find the good in chapels, even when they are sometimes not the best.
But I this semester, we have not had a bad chapel thus far!
I look forward to chapels because I know Dr. Rutland is speaking!
