Upside-Down Kingdom

In Mark 9:30-37, Jesus challenges his disciples definition of "greatness."

And...I wonder....In our media-saturated world of "American Idol" wannabes, mega-million-per-year-earning sports stars, and the latest pop culture gods and godesses wooing the attention and awe of our world's youngest and brightest....

Has much really changed in 2000 years of trying to follow?

yes! Many of the youth of today do get this! It makes my heart so happy to see. Just look at the youth in our own church. And then there's these news articles about college students who look forward to spring break, not to have parties, but to SERVE others.
In Jamaica
In New Orleans
In Arizona

The list could go on. The more I read, the more these youth inspire me.
