Questions, doubt and Consumerism Part 3

Getting Mad:

There's a reactive response to this problem (some might say epidemic). That is that church leaders get mad at people for not getting it. For wanting to make this transaction. for wanting to give up power. It may be the youth pastor who's frustrated by the parents who can't find 30 minutes every two weeks to have an intentional conversation with their kids, or is frustrated by parents who simply drop their kids off.

It might be the associate pastor who can't get his church to get involved in a community, or missions etc.

All of these show the problem. and lead to more of the same.

A pastor trying to get his people involved, so that it's not a top down organization, places the blame from the top down.

What does his church really value?

This is the hard part right? Accepting the fact that people don't actually value what you do.

It's also true that people are being faithful to what we've taught them. Wasn't it you who taught them, you'd take care of everything so they could come to church?
