I was privileged to spend the day with a few hundred other people today - or at least that's what I was told over and again!
The fact is, I am privileged! I am privileged to spend time with some passionate, talented and committed people. I am privileged to have the freedom to meet in worship. I am privileged to belong to an international movement of people that has the potential to make a difference - and often does. I am privileged to have the resources to live a very comfortable lifestyle.
But if that privilege results in me being pleased because I can become absorbed in a self-indulgent celebration of my privilege then I have lost the plot. My privilege is my greed unless it is spent on others. If I settled for adequate rather than extravegant imagine what I could give to others.
I am privileged, but so what? We are privileged, but not for our own glory.
