My 18,000 word thesis earned me a Masters of Biblical Studies degree (a wholistic plan to empower low-income black America). I'm here to network for publication and to seek out like-minded African Americans (curtis.hervey@yahoo.com). As a Distinguished Graduate of OCS, I seek to apply battle-tested military principles to solving black pathology by issuing a national warning order. I'm an iconoclast, my doctrine is Washingtonian (as in Booker T.) and my role is that of Socratic Gadfly.
Satan is busy on FaceBook! There is another deceptive hustle out there that puffs up "Christians" into believing they are going to dominate, subjugate, wield power, etc.
Yes, there are scriptures that speak about the redeemed 'ruling" with Christ in the post-apocalyptic future, but this has to be put into context. Jesus will rule, but we will SERVE. Authentic "rulership" is about SERVANTHOOD. It's not about power and lording it over people.
The disciples once thought this and argued over which one of them would have the most power and authority. Jesus told them" he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." (Mt 23:11).
Earth, Wind & Fire has a great song with the line: "everybody wants to ride in a limousine, but nobody wants to drive."
So, true.
