The first, was while I was having lunch after Sunday Service, some disgruntled non-Christian trying to lay all his issues on me, I was beginning to have the zest of guiding him to the right path when the other church members come and interrupt, whether it is to "protect" me or talk garbage, I don't know. I supposed there's one useful advice I remember from my father, if I have not mistaken, that is "Don't talk while eating". Strike One.
Then there was this ticket I give as a "tiny part" of my mission work, so that the church gets a chance to have their members listen to some great performance that was initially made for God's glory - Of course, Bach's B Minor Mass is no match for Handel's Messiah pertaining to the Gospel in this English speaking culture, hence, tiny part. But it would appear from the pastor's insistence of paying me back, it almost seems that she thinks I'm too poor to do such ministry or that she did not realize this is not just some invitation to watch me sing on stage. Strike Two.
Anyone who does not the zest of evangelization, has no part in my ministry regardless of how good a talker they are. It is better that they do their own ministry and let me support theirs for the sake of the Gospel.
