Guest K9Buck Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 It's been my experience that some or even "many" who are active in Christian organizations lose sight of what it's about. Their activism, whether it be on a Christian message board or whether it be in their physical church, becomes about them, their status, their pride. It becomes a social or societal construct for them. I tend to avoid such Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO that's the basis for a lot of human relations. Everyone's got their comfort zone on how much they give and receive but if it's too consistently skewed toward one side or the other people start to get angry and bitter over it and that's no good. Ideally we all minister to and support each other as we're called to and receive it in turn. So long as that runs smoothly it helps form bonds between us. Amen. Words of Worthy wisdom never spoken more truer than this. Thank you for expressing it where I fell short. Great post!

My benefit received from the hard work and the God led ministry of Worthy Christian Forums.; it is all about personal benefit received by me. I am not so puffed that I think I will take a free ride upon the expense and labor of another to pontificate. Instead I get to to read about many a story of what is happening in this world that I get no where else. I get the hear or read what is of interest to individuals from all around this earth that have internet. I get challenged to look at the Bible, to think on it, to read and pray about it. Yes it is all about me and my personal benefit received by the ministry. The fellowship is a grand bonus too! Most of all I get to be prayed for and to pray with others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
