Bro Gurley was very offensive that day. He actually told people they all (everyone in hearing) were called to serve, not be served, and that the call to serve most probably would at some point include changing the toilet paper, no matter how high a "call" they felt. He went on to say that young people who feel "called" should be willing to do the things no one else wants to do, as part of their training for the ministry.
Wow. Could you imagine if people in church could ever understand this point? Wonder how many more people we would have serving the Lord. Def, food for thought.
I've heard that rally against young ministers before too. Too many miss the point. They think slave for their pastor = the pathway to have a ministry. I'm sure this is not Gurley's point, but sadly many in our culture miss the point entirely.

I don't see that as offensive - it's the truth.
Maybe it's just something some didn't want to hear, but needed to.

I'm assuming (or hoping) that Threads was being TIC when he said he was being offensive. I think that this is a message that unfortunately too many ministers and church leaders never learn. One of the most impactful sayings I've ever heard is that a true Christian (Christ-Like) leader is not a leader who serves, but a servant who leads.

You should hear Brother Kilgore's message "Humility". Awesome!
He said, - words to effect - "Some just want to walk the glory road. God is looking for men and women who are willing to put on sackcloth and ashes."
