Some thoughts on being a Church attending Christian:


1.I am not sure why certain people prefers to call themselves "Pastor" or "Reverend", or even "Rabbi" So and so..etc.  These people did not pastor a church nor has a solid ministry in hand, they didn't even go to a formal seminary. They got ordained by another pastor who doesn't really have a solid ministry as well. Is the title that important that they really want to be called Pastor  rather than a "brother"??  Very puzzling.

2.So here in the church i am attending, they love to give credential of the speaker. Like one of them graduated from "Yale divinity" school....i don't really know why that is important. Yale is so liberal, their seminary is not a place where i would think one can get proper training. And honestly i don't care....

3.A church leader saying he is getting his Phd. I am not sure why he needs this degree, so i asked him why does he need this degree, and he seems surprised that i asked.

4. When i asked about communion abt the church i am currently attending, the wife of the pastor insisted that the mother church does not do communion on a monthly basis (Even though i said " i think they do once a month"? She said" Impossible, i went there and they definitely do not do it every month" However, i called the mother church and found out it does have a monthly communion.

Conclusion for attending church:
There are not enough humility? i don't know what is the problem. Sometimes feels really uncomfortable listening to these preachers. I gave them so much time listening and sometimes (maybe also i am not being obedient) that i find them quite arrogant? or is it me who is being arrogant?
