Re: serving 2 masters

I actually do see what the 411 was saying about serving 2 masters...but again I think its all about balance. I know MANY people that let their fraternity/sorority consume them to the point where they are nothing without it. All they wear is nalia, all they want to talk about is greek life, the majority of places they go are greek functions.. And I think this says something about the type of person they were before they came into the org.. however this is an example I would give of serving the org as a master. GOD wants to be the center of our lives..he wants to be what we talk about..and he wants to be who we aim to please. If you're doing this for an organization...whether founded on Christian principles or not...I think you may need to really re-evaluate what the Lord expects from you.

But again its about balance...when I'm out doing Delta Academy work..working with underpriviledged youth...God gets all the glory for that...DST is the vehicle..but God gets the glory!

Love Spell, I totally know what you're talking about. I've witnessed many people live, breath, sleep, eat, etc. their organization. But I can't blame the organization for that. My motto is: Make the organization, don't let the organization make you. And that's what happens a lot of times. I've had to put Delta on the back burner before, and it's not because I stopped loving the org., it was because I had to handle my business.

Ironically for me it was the sorority at my time of entrance into it- that propelled me more to go to church. I can remember doing a community service event at the mall with the sorority and heard two Sorors discussing the fact that they didn't know any AKAs that didn't go to church. After I heard that -I got convicted in my spirit and began to attend church on a more regular basis and do not see a conflict with my sorority and my walk with the Lord as I have gotten closer to him and have encountered those Sorors who are so inclined in my association with them.
