Re: Different Thought on Foot Washing
Addendum:
I know of a charismatic pastor who has a very large church in Michigan. He works at McDonald's part time, not because he needs the money, but this is what he told me:
"I do this for two reasons, one because it helps me stay in touch and make contact with the members in the community, but another reason is, this is the ultimate form of servitude in our culture. People don't care who I am when I'm behind this counter, they just want their food, and they yell at me if it's not done right. And I have to smile and apologize and make it right. So, it keeps me humble, and gives me a chance to witness and express the love of Christ to them".
Not sure how you may feel about this, but I thought it was awesome!

Re: Different Thought on Foot Washing
I am glad that I read this. I think that there were some great ideas posted concerning the issue. However, I believe that it could and possibly should be even more that what was originally posted.
Jesus says that if you have ought against your brother, or he against you, to go and make things right.
How many of the petty personality problems that occur in a church and even between ministers would be resolved in a more peaceful manner if they would be willing to wash each others feet? If a saint was clashing with the pastor, but was caused to wash his feet, could they be reconciled? What about two sains who were causing a disruption in the church with their stife, could it be healed via a time of foot washing?
This has happened in the past, and I believe should happen more often than it does. I know preachers who might get along better if they would wash one another's feet. I believe that it is very often a matter of pride. It would be interesting to see.
