The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.

Now the only way you can serve God on earth is by serving others.

God wants us to serve willingly and obediently.

To affirm that God is God is to want to live in a particular way.

To lose yourself in righteous service to others can lift your sights and get your mind off personal problems, or at least put them in proper focus.

Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help, the desire to serve.

Things change when you give your life to serving God, and that can be scary.

There is a sense of call to take leadership roles. You're serving people and submitting to God as best you can.

Those who believe in the importance of serving others should lead the way by fighting against the temptation we all have, and maybe especially as we age, to close in upon ourselves.

One of the duties of fortitude is to keep the weak from receiving injury; another, to check the wrong motions of our own souls; a third, both to disregard humiliations, and to do what is right with an even mind. All these clearly ought to be fulfilled by all Christians, and especially by the clergy.
