The mindset of a priest is to be of service to God(servant of the Lord). We as individual should have the same mindset. This is our mission to give service to the Lord and to bring others to the Lord. This mindset makes us long for the Lord, to be more like Him, to walk with Him, to talk like Him, to glorify Him, to give reverence unto Him, and to do whatever we can to bring others to Christ.

I praise God in several ways. Some ways of praising can be given in song, prayer, meditation, raising your hands, and talking in tongue. In whatever way you worship the Lord, you give praise to him. We worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. In order for us to give praise we must be in the spirit.

No, I have not felt that I was worthless or of no value. I was raised to feel that I am somebody no matter what may come my way. 1 Peter 1:18-19 says that we were not redeemed by perishable things but by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. This says that God loved us so that Jesus Christ, His son, paid the price for us by shedding His blood on the cross. This indicates that we are wealthy beyond belief. What we have in Christ Jesus is worth more than silver or gold. My long term investment is to live for Christ. There is no greater joy, peace, love, or excitment to know Him or to live for Him. When you know Jesus there is peace of mind.

No one wants to be told that they are wrong. Likewise, no one wants others to tell them what they should do or how they should do it. God gave his only begotten Son to die for our sins and this shows God's love for the world. When final judgement is left out, sin takes over. Final judgement should be at the core of the Good News because it lets us know that we will be judged for our wrong doings and everything we do must center around thiss.

Holiness is being set apart from this world and conforming to the standards of God. I am holy because Christ has washed me in His blood. When we were transformed in the renewing of our mind and spirit, this made us holy in the eye sight of God. Sometimes, I get caught up in situations where I let the flesh take over, and this sometimes brings me out of the ark of salvation.

We know when Christ returns the saints will be caught up with him. I want to be one of those saints. Also, we know that we will be judged of our deeds done in this body. Just knowing that we are going to live with Christ should give us hope in his returning.We have to have an open mind to accept the things Christ has to offer us. He said "let the same mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus." When we don't really accept Christ return, we become caught up and conformed to this world.
