Before cementing in our new year's resolutions, it's good to remember who we belong to. US Christianity by nature tends to be self-serving. That's normal for any people-group who live in freedom and prosperity. Mark 10 takes us to an interesting scene where Jesus is heading uphill to Jerusalem to be crucified and lay down His life, and James and John ask, "We want you to do whatever we ask." This leads to an amazing teaching that helps us create the framework for all of our resolutions.
