How do Christian disciples “serve the world, but not . . . be a servant of the world”? · What are some ways that we may live out the words of Matthew 6:33, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”? · Do we seek to denounce evil and injustice wherever they exist?

I think Christians can serve the world without being a servant of the world by always keeping focused on their perspective. Why do we do the things we do? It is to build the Kingdom of God, to bring glory to the name of Jesus! When our works of service become more about feeling good about ourselves, or getting recognition or a pat on the back, we are losing our perspective. We must continue to do what God calls us to do, including standing up for what is right, fighting against injustice and persecution, and loving the way God calls us to.
