Contemplative Bible Reading

Philippians 2:3-4 (New Living Translation)

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

This may be an odd take on these verses. Let’s say the majority of persons in a church like to do things one way. That means that church never does things that way. The majority always considers the interests of others more important than their own. Hence, the majority does things the way the minority would rather do them.

Upside down? Reverse? Crazy? Perhaps.
