Pre-2000 American doctors were wrong in advising parents to avoid allergenic food to infants. But it's the introduction of them that helps as opposed to the avoidance, to reduce allergies. I recall a friend of my wife who did it wrong to her kids, probably out of that foolish advice, and now her kids either are allergic to nuts or dislike them.
I've finally found the pastor that a good number of my church members came from. Brett Revlett was pastoring the Deaconry and after that, he recommended many to Grace church before leaving for Utah. I finally got the full name with spelling from today's July 4th party at Clyde's.
Why the highly praised in the world never amount to much in the Church?
From time to time you hear this person praised by this great preacher, that person praised by your parents, for being successful as some CEO or big shot in the common world. Then either they gave up those positions to serve in the church or continue as if they were able to hold both Mammon and God successfully. The latter ones, need no further examination, because what they meant by "serving" God successfully is just their ability to make offerings in the amount of millions, questioning their spirituality is tabooed and that itself is very telling of their true motive: Treating God as their reputation builder and as their beggar. And those sheep who recognize their shepherd's voice could easily tell, unlike the goats who marveled at the ability of those serving both God and Mammon. And the straw-made weapon of these goats, is their ability to utter the vain words "do not judge!"
The former type however, I have looked and looked. They do have something to show. They gave up their luxurious worldly lives to serve God fully in the Church. However, it appears that often times what fruit they bear in the Church is not as great as they would amount in the world in their former lives. True, there are those who actually were failing in their high position in the world and were able to get out before their reputation get jeopardized and pretended to serve God as if they have found a new way to boost their reputation against the odds. But I'm not speaking of these phonies. I'm referring those who really did well in the world before giving it all up for God. It's as if they were complacent enough in serving God from 8 to 5, well disciplined in getting all things done in the Church. Then perhaps, if I were to call these faithful, it is a normal thing to achieve what they had achieved in the world in their former lives, that one just needs to do one's due diligence, from 8 to 5 at work everyday, don't smoke, don't swear, don't be lazy, just focus on your given tasks, be in a secured, promising company, be good at saving money. That is it. Then sure, from the outset, they can be viewed as great. But then again, how is that any different than the grandmas who work hard in the fields? Because neither need much. They were both content with their lives. Only that one gets better fame than the other, in a worldly manner. A vain glory. After all, if anything I learn from this, is that these people are telling me that the pursuit of the world is vain, that is why they left their big corporate jobs to work in the Church. It is certainly not about giving up something great for something small or even for something greater, because what they gave up, wasn't even great to begin with. What they gave up, was just something anyone can achieve, IF interested. But with the high tendency to end in vain.
Nevertheless, there are those, who either never walk the path or goes to great length to hide their worldly past, to despise it, so that all their focus from within and from without is only on Christ. These are the type, that is so great and not great at the same time that only those of God could recognize their greatness. For they recognize the same song sung by their shepherd. While goats could only react in two ways: 1. they admit that there's some greatness in this, but they fail at what this greatness is, because they would only be able to recognize this greatness if it has any sprinkle of worldliness in it (i.e. great audience, fame, success, etc.) 2. They despise this instead, like the harlot of Babylon who drank the blood of the saints.
Ultimately, it is about where the treasure is. Not by mere outward appearance or what great speech they can give, but go to that person's home, stare deep into his life, his heart, what he studies, his hobbies, what is valued most. That is where his true worth lies.
