the difference between My service and

Want to know the difference between spit out lukewarm and well done, faithful servant? Please see Exhibits A and B.

Exhibit A: Amy becomes a mega popular Christian singer, decides to record secular albums and betrays her fan base, records a duet with a country singer, decides he's her new best friend instead of her actual husband, has an affair, divorces her husband and marries the country singer, and when new album sales don't pan out, wonders where she went wrong.

Exhibit B: SCC becomes a mega popular Christian singer, takes the gospel idea of adoption seriously and takes in international little ones, loses one of them tragically, and then rather than lament the terribleness of his life, uses the media to bear witness to the gospel and speaks freely of faith and struggle on Larry King Live.

I'll let you pick which one gets rebuked and which ones wears crowns before the throne.

[Note: My favorite part of the video clip is at the 9:22 mark, and what SCC's son says about what God is doing with his brother.]
