Book excerpt: This book is about understanding the real love between us and God, a two-way love, not the one-way love being lived out by the world today. The title comes from Jesus who said He came to serve and to proclaim the truth of God, His Father. So in practice, He was a Servant and a Guardian. Therefore, every disciple and apostle, except Judas, was and is expected to follow in His footsteps, live by His standard, and to guard the truth of His Holy Word, the Bible. Therefore, in practice, every Christ-centered follower is a designated Servant-Guardian. This story is my personal spiritual autobiography, covering the years it has taken me to finally understand this and the fights I have had with false teachings and teachers along the way. The confession about my fall is a transparent look at my own failures, mistakes, and lack of obedience to my God and Heavenly Father. My prayer is that all who read my story will not fall into the same traps, or if you already have, to find the same restoration and love I have. Love and service on GodaEUR(tm)s terms are all that is asked of us. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:4, aEURoeBe imitators of me, as I am of Christ.aEUR Jesus asks us the sobering question, aEURoeIf people are following you, where are you leading themaEUR"to heaven or to hell?aEUR
