Therefore salvation is linked with faith, which earns nothing but elicits all, like the touch that evokes electricity but which no man supposes to have made it.
"Do those served grow as persons, do they while being served become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous (self-reliant), more likely themselves to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit, or, at least, will they not be further deprived?"

Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?" But the
initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?" One theory is
that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the Bible
says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury."
But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The
passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest
and terrify them with your Storm."
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers
are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a
long blast."
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to
talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel
where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own
Accord..." Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as
evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses'
Triumph is heard in the hills."
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."
And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a
Honda..."The Apostles were in one Accord."
