A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient. 2 Timothy 2:24.<\/p>\n

\"Servants<\/a>
Servants Heart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At times, the best way to define a concept is to offer an appropriate example …<\/p>\n

George Washington Carver is well known as an African-American scientist who developed scores of products from the peanut. Dr. Carver was also a humble servant of the Lord who took every opportunity to speak to others about the Savior he loves and serves.<\/p>\n

During the 1920s, members of the YMCA and the Commission on Interracial Cooperation asked Dr Carver to address white student audiences at colleges and universities in the South. Dr Carver spoke about the wonders of the natural world and the loving God who created the earth and all people.<\/p>\n

As his goal for these meetings, Carver said he wanted the students to find Jesus and make Him a daily, hourly, and moment-by-moment part of their lives. \u201cI want them to see the Great Creator in the smallest and apparently the most insignificant things about them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Carver sought to follow the words of Paul to a young pastor: \u201cA servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth.\u201d 2 Timothy 2:24-25. This approach underscores the power of the Gospel and the winsome appeal of a servant\u2019s heart. – David McCaslasland. Daily Bread.<\/p>\n

Let us follow Carver\u2019s example.<\/p>\n
