懷着世俗的心態返教會和去事奉


前幾天我說會嘗試探素在現今世代, 一些他們返教會和事奉的原因, 有正面的也有負面的; 希望能將管理的角度和成員的角度連结, 找到一些「以人(生命)為本」的教會管理方法.

相信有信徒(或準信徒)是懷着世俗的心態返教會和去事奉的。

"如果A君來, 可以為B君打氣; "多啲人, 好啲氣氛!"; "你吾去我就吾去"; "你做我就做"; "冇辦法, xx叫到!"; "冇得揀, 我是會友!".....這裡包括了一些「交差」心態。

希望不會有太多人只為比較、勝利(因為妒忌)而來!

也希望不會有太多人只為吃喝玩樂、打發時間、識女(或男)仔、派咭片、兜生意而來! .....這裡包括了一些「揾食」心態。

一間堂會如果有濃烈的「家庭」、「社交群體」、「閒暇場所」功能(參考之前模式) 會吸引這些人。

又, 教會領袖需不需要用又屬靈又屬世的方法去處理他們呢?

新年了, 希望不會有太多人為拜年而返教會吧!
