Living with Power and Weakness – FaithGateway

Power doesn’t have to be murderous to be abusive. It is dangerous almost the moment it becomes self-serving. The scriptures, on the other hand, invite us to a self-emptying approach to power. What power we have, if we are to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, is meant to be put to use for the sake of others.

We are called to be a light, and light goes to the dark places of the world and illuminates them. — Mike Cosper
