The Hill Mentality.
I can't help but to bring a point that I have seen at this church; Extol in particular. Now after hearing the sermon of Sunday October 4th and to my surprise it wasn't recorder so I cannot "quote" it word by word.
Regarding the comment about getting bothered by those needy people that text message us, or email or call us, and been thankful that others can help those needy people for us and take them off our hands more or less. In helping those needy people, do we do it because as a man of God or because of the church, we do it so that it will give us points with God. Aren't needy people needy for God? Isn't that why there is a church or a pastor or a ministry? To give those needy people help to come closer to God? Isn't that what the church has been preaching, to evangelize and spread the word to get people closer to God, yet we are been bothered by those needy people texting us or emailing us?
Seems to me, this is Hill Mentality.
So why not take on some charity cases to make ourselves feel good and have God forgive our sins by helping those charity or needy cases. How horrible! It was also a humbling comment to realize that even a Man or Woman of God, it's just that, only human.
Can you look past your Hill?
