I am also a sinner la, so would say no such thing as a perfect christian.
The problem is not his reaction, it is the way the leadership overfocus on serving.
The leadership has spoken little about kindness, character building, serving one another, brotherhood, accountability, etc. After all, if we want to be community to the others, how are we to serve others, when we cannot even serve each other.
It starts with us, and most importantly the leadership of the church, what they preach on Sunday sermon. If they keep on insisting us to pay sin tax of giving then ultimately it works up to guilt. And with guilt, unkindness, politics and nastiness between christians. When this happens, we become fake, like MLM agents to those we are ministering to. That's why most unbelievers tell me that they find christians not genuine, only want their soul. Even new believers tend to fall out because no one bother to follow up. Its so lazy of us to just leave it to God to do his work for us.
When I mention this to my leaders, their reply is focus on God not the mistakes of mankind. They do have a point but by saying this, they just don't want to improve themselves and ignore the whole problem. That's why in ministries, politics is so prevailing.
DOn't get me wrong, I am not looking for perfection, just at least something the church leaders should galvanize us to look at, rather than telling us to serve all day long.
What's wrong with serving? serving has many meaning you know doesn't need to serve in church to be called serving, serving means love the lord your god with all your heart mind and soul
