It’s been about 7 months since I last did anything “Christian”, and coincidentally today I bumped into my pastor and his family at the Volkswagen dealership.
The first thing he said to me was that some speaker from England is coming to our service to preach and that apparently there is now a youth band leading worship at the service.
For crying out loud, this is exactly why I have distanced myself from Christians.
Now I understand why people I tried inviting to church before never came.
Made me sick from the stomach.
I am a twentysomething, and I’m not about to waste more of my precious time being close-minded inside those 4 walls they call church.
Hey Ricky – can you expand on this? why the speaker from England and youth band leading worship would cause such a reaction? i just want to hear your perspective!
Ouch. Is it because he didn’t show much of a personal interest in you, and just talked about church activity/ministry? That would be bad. Or was it something else that bugged you?
Yes Paulman, you’re right. I’m a person. Maybe asking me a little about how I was doing after not having seen me for 6 months is too much to ask.
sorry to hear that ricky! that is a shame. do you think he knew he had that effect on you? maybe it would be helpful for him if you explained your frustrations… or maybe not, just a thought.
