Who knows God's will? (Version 2)

Who knows God's will? (Version 2)


1. Collapsed authority

One of the reasons the younger generation today avoids the church is the authoritative atmosphere and the rank of the office. Just as the authority of the father disappeared from the home and the authority of teachers collapsed in schools, the perception of authority is changing in churches. Still, however, there remains an atmosphere in some churches that enforces authority, and that enforces obedience.


There is still a mindset that the associate pastor should absolutely obey the pastor's words. But times have changed. Now, the attitude of the pastor is also subject to evaluation. In order for the church to operate in a healthy way, it should be borne in mind that authority is not established by itself, but is exercised when the saints recognize it.


2. God's will and obedience

God's will is clearly recorded in the Bible. Without having to explain it complicatedly, it means to praise God and live a good life. However, many interpret this to suit their taste and insist that their will is God's will.


If the pastor in charge claims that his decision is God's will, this is the beginning of misfortune. God's will is not an individual's will or desire, but is found in the teachings of the Bible and the community. True obedience is not blind obedience, but a deep understanding and following of God's will.


3. Folly to establish a broken authority

It is foolish to impose obedience in an oppressive manner to revive the collapsed authority. Authority is not forcibly established, but is formed through one's own virtues and personalities.


To be recognized for authority, one must exert good influence without greed. Whether you are a subordinate or a saint, you must establish a relationship based on voluntary respect, not coercion. The way of giving orders and forcing obedience, as in the past, no longer works.


4. In an era where the ability of new employees is more important than the ability of leaders.

In modern society, the ability of new employees is becoming more important than leaders within an organization. The reason is simple. This is because the younger generation is more adaptable as the flow of information accelerates and the pace of change accelerates.


In the past, the experience and perspective of leaders were the core of organizational management. However, now, in a rapidly changing environment where various information is shared, new perspectives and creativity have become more important. The same goes for the church. If the church ignores the opinions of the younger generation and maintains an authoritative attitude, it will inevitably decline more and more.


5. We are moving toward an era where good people win.

This is an era in which moral ability and conscience are more important than authoritative attitudes. The same goes for churches. When the church abandons its authoritative culture and pursues ethical and good values, people will naturally gather to the church.


People now value the character and morality of a leader. In order for the church to restore trust and have a good influence on people, honest and transparent operations are needed above all else. Only churches that abandon authoritative structures and pursue horizontal leadership will survive.


Conclusion

The way it used to be, one can no longer maintain authority. If the church does not change, people will leave, and churches that have not regained trust will increasingly lose influence. It is an era in which a leader who serves humbly before God is needed. Now is the time for change.

It is not faith when I get away from the illusion that God has made all my life plans


vague goal


One of my friends has a pastor. I've been working with the youth department since college, and I planned to run the church administration when I became middle-aged, and after graduating from college, this friend decided to go to the Graduate School of Theology and become a pastor. And the two achieved their goal.


However, the goal of those in their 20s seems to have been vague. It wasn't specific. I don't know if it's obvious what to do if that happens, but there was no specific plan.




God's guidance


God would guide me. I didn't think it was strange why God made up our plans for life.


If you set a goal, you can usually achieve it. You can use transportation from Seoul to Busan. But how frustrating would people around you feel if you didn't plan what to do when you went?


It is frustrating whether I will continue to live in Busan or travel for a while.


If you go to Jeju Island, there is Gapado Island, and hot dog restaurants are famous in the island. He said someone asked the owner. When asked how he thought of opening a hot dog restaurant, he heard yesterday that he just came on a trip and said that he had a good time doing business here. Someone can improvise like this. You can say this is fate.


Destiny and God's Will


Christians see these results and wrap them up nicely as God's guidance. However, it is a result that has not been confirmed or confirmed. Because doing business well can lead to collapse. Can the saints say that it is God's will to fail even then?


If it is God's will to make you do business, of course, it should be God's will to fail. So even if you insist that it is God's will, it is not strange at all.


So if you are not sure, let us not insist that it is God's will. It's my will. God can help you with that, but I am responsible.


Let's not insist on God's will so that we don't take responsibility.




Believer's Life Plan


Even if you have good faith, you have to make a concrete life plan. Because a plan may fail, you should not be satisfied that you have set a goal. It is necessary to determine how to achieve the goal, and to make a detailed plan and decide what to do after achieving the step-by-step goal. This is not necessarily done for the success of the plan, but to know how to guide God and how to help each step-by-step process if you believe in it.


There is only vague achievement in a vague plan.


The twenties are very difficult times to set goals in life. This is because there is a lack of social experience, and if you do something well, you will become arrogant and show a bad attitude, and if you do something a little lacking, you will feel discouraged and anxious that you will not be able to do anything. However, when someone tries to help, they sometimes do pathetic things that they refuse because their pride is triggered.


So, it doesn't have to be perfect, so please make a plan and implement it and revise it every quarter. That's okay though.




Plan Revision


The reality is that people can make plans for their abilities, but it is difficult to achieve them as planned. Therefore, the plan must be revised from time to time. The next best and the next best, and the plans in the process.


The travel plan is to test this. In particular, if you plan a trip alone and go on a trip, you will find out how many different variables there are. The first way to learn life is to travel alone.


There is nothing more to learn in the church. There is no hope.

There is nothing more to learn in the church. There is no hope.




I went to church all my life, listened to sermons, studied the Bible hard, and lived a life that only knew church, but these days, there are many people who are so disappointed with the church that they don't want to go there anymore.




Protestant pastors break away.


Watching the actions of Protestant pastors at a time when they are waiting for the Constitutional Court's judgment after being impeached by Yoon Seok-yeol's emergency martial law, lamentations are drawn that there are so many non-normal human beings.


Seeing that he is using his position as a pastor to incite the saints with his political ideology, I can't help but think that he has been deceived by the pastors.




Pastor's seat


The pastors of the Korean church have been well-fed and well-off for decades. In particular, the Protestant Church, a self-employed system, has been pioneered by pastors and maintained the church with donations. Decades later, a successor pastor was appointed, but many churches that have grown into large churches for more than 30 years were able to endure corruption, thinking that they might be part of it, but seeing pastors who eat using saints with political intentions, I realized that there was no hope of the Korean church.




Because the pastor is a very important position in the church. This is because it is a place where mothers try to understand and cover up their children even if there are some flaws or not, as they have to study the Bible well and act as a compass to live according to God's will by preaching on Sunday. When someone swears at the pastor, the pastor is also a person, so he does not make mistakes and makes them understand, but does not criticize, complain, or complain together.




Sermon-based incitement


If the pastor makes political remarks and incites during the worship sermon, this becomes clear evidence that it is rotten when it is rotten, so it is something that can no longer be watched.


In fact, I heard that there are cases where extreme right-wing members visit the pastor and threaten why they don't tell me during the sermon that they oppose the impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol.


The feelings of supporters named Yoon Seok-yeol will be the same as those of the church who support the pastor. Even if there are flaws or mistakes, the church has done this to the pastor.


But far-right people do this. Far-right saints do this.




They forgive me for not doing anything wrong.


Forgiveness is directed at someone who admits wrongdoing. It is also a lustful act for someone who says that there is no fault but that I am just forgiving.


He said that I was not at fault, but who am I to forgive?




Let's pull ourselves together.


There are many churches. If you think you can't move the church because you have a lot of money to pay for congratulations and condolences because you don't have a place to donate, I hope you can move away from the church and live in faith in God while being free.


The church can be moved. Donations are not necessarily required. Grace is free. Salvation is free. And the pastor also corrupts. Therefore, we must escape the idea that the church is good and the world is evil.


If you have no place to express your love for God, so you have served, donated, and pampered the pastor, you should also know that it is not God's will. It means that you or the pastor brainwashed you.


What would God regret to pay for the money in my pocket? And what did God say that I must use the pastor of the church I attend?


He called Moses and crossed the Red Sea to exodus the Israelites, but he should also know that the Lord God tried to kill Moses. In Exodus 4: And it should also be known that Adam and Eve were destined to die and expelled from the Garden of Eden because of what the good and evil ate.


God is not a blessing. They demand a price for their sins. Personally, I believe that Paul's death penalty in Rome was the result of what he did when he was Saul. If Saul, who had been killing believers, had not happened on his way to Damessek to add to it, Saul would have only killed those who believed in Jesus for the rest of his life. For all these reasons, it is my conclusion that God hates sin.


The church defines disobedience to God's will as sin. It is not that the current law has not been observed, but that the more strict law of God is that adultery with the heart is also governed by the sin of adultery.


So let's get the saints and the pastor together. You have to tremble and ask for forgiveness for the sins you have committed with your heart. There is no exception to this.


Complaints, complaints and chatter.

Complaints, complaints and chatter.


Any organization or church is subject to complaints, complaints, and chatter within the organization. The reason is that everyone is self-centered.


Those in a governing position have no choice but to teach that complaints, complaints, and chatter are harmful to the church. Because I think complaints or complaints are bad energy. In a polite way, they think that it is the devil and Satan's masterpiece, and they prevent complaints or complaints in the first place by misleading or reprimanding such saints.


Even if children complain or complain at home, they ignore it as young.


By the way, Will the organization be happy if we really stop complaints and complaints? I think we shouldn't think about it.




Fake happiness


Since there are no complaints and complaints, it can be said that the church is a really happy place. If there is no complaint or complaint, there must be no greed. There should be no expectation. There must be no hope. Are you happy?


Complaints are the real problem. Complaints are the real problem. It's intended to attack leadership with intent. However, if you ask for improvement and wait with complaints, it will have other positive aspects.


So you shouldn't just complain. You shouldn't just complain. If you find something wrong, you should find a way to improve it and talk to them. And we should discuss it formally and go out for development, not chatter.




Suggestions for improvement


When making suggestions for improvement, it is not too late for me to make a decision after seeing the results. I have been running diet meetings for a long time, so I found that most people have doctoral diet theories and like to say them. But I also found out that they talk too much about things that are not theirs.


The theory that has not been experienced and practiced is actually a dead theory. It does not affect others.


Therefore, when suggesting improvement, it is necessary to take enough time to think, think about, implement what is practicable, and gradually expand.



Real happiness


You must let go of your greed. But you have to have expectations. And hope is the driving force that sees the light ahead when there is no possibility. Then, will I be happy if I look forward to it and hope? That is not enough.


For Christians, happiness is knowing God's will. There will be frustration and failure in the process, but one day, when you realize God's will, you will find that all things that have been meaningful and heartfelt are meaningless. Because values are falling apart.




A good mood is called happiness.


People live with mood. If that feeling is good, I'm saying I'm happy. What should I do to make you feel better every day?


If you have no greed and a good heart, if you have mercy in your heart, you are more likely to feel better if you have a stronger heart to help others, not to help others.


You can see if you think for a moment whether it is easier to be happy by being greedy or happy when you give even a small amount of help to others.


Good heart is a magic that makes you feel better. To feel good is to be happy.


At this rate, I was forced to shout that the church would live only when the pastor was killed.

At this rate, I was forced to shout that the church would live only when the pastor was killed.


We are the army that protects the church. The Bible does not say that we should protect the church, but we firmly believe that it should be. The idea is that the church should never fail.




People who misunderstand obedience.


Even if God goes bankrupt, it should never be done. The people who will do it are the people of the Korean church. God does not think he would command so. Because God is the only one who gives blessings and blessings. They are people who will probably be God when they are supposed to die. They will be God when they are saved. They are the people who will live eternal life as eternal life of the body.


Obedience is people who will obey only when they do their own way. It is the idea of people who attend church who insist that their will is God's will.


In other words, you don't listen to others. I believe what I think is right. So there is even a nanny who says that she doesn't believe Jesus because he came and told her.




The claim that if it is different from his will, it is Satan.


In other words, it is argued that if it is different from my will, it is all Satan. They are the people who would think that Satan appeared to me in the guise of Jesus.


They are people who will never listen. It would be useless if God's voice spoke directly. This is the current state of Christians in Korea.


Early on, in Isaiah, we were all like sheep, so we went our own way by doing bowls, but the Lord also made him responsible for the sins of our herd.


Reading the Bible reveals the words and actions of the Israelites, who cannot understand. You will not understand why God does not abandon those who have made idols, betrayed them, disobeyed them, rebelled them, and even had the nerve to make excuses that they were not wrong after doing whatever they wanted. I would have killed everything.




Crazy Christian


We are crazy. What's crazy about it is that I'm crazy about the church. The church is mine. I don't think the church I attend can be wrong. Our pastor thinks it is different. It is argued that blind faith is faith. So the church-crazy saint was crazy.


There will be no need for evidence. It is so selfish that you don't know how selfish the church is. The most deceitful, easy and gas-lighting people have become churchgoers, as the belief that blind beliefs, which are close to group brainwashing, should act as instructed without thinking, is mistaken for good beliefs.




The evidence may be the Sarang Jeil Church of Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon and the world of Pastor Son Hyun-bo. Even if they go the wrong way and lead as pastors, they blindly follow and believe. Even if they use the church politically, corrupt worship, and use it as a political tool, they remain blind and loyal without even doubting. Jesus is the second for them. For them, the master of the church is the pastor. I can't even afford to hear anything else from them.


Today is Saturday, when we have to quietly and humbly prepare for the service, and when we gather at a rally and scream, we cannot help but think that the Korean church is coming to an end when we see the pastor who is cursing, swearing, and inciting.



I never dreamed that I would make Jung Kwang-hoon and Son Hyun-bo close the Korean church.


Protestant churches can survive only when they end their one-man dictatorship.

Protestant churches can survive only when they end their one-man dictatorship.


Catholicism is a huge church, a single church, Roman Catholicism. Catholic churches in each country can be regarded as branches. The Pope governs and elects the Pope.


The Vatican is the smallest independent state in the world, located inside Rome, Italy. The Pope resides here. It is very classy and has a cardinal under the Pope, and the cardinal is an archbishop or a high-ranking official in the Holy See. The church is governed by the archbishop and bishop. There are priests under it.




On the other hand, Protestant churches operate under the own authority of each church. Of course, the denomination has a president and a presbytery president, and the homeroom teacher of each church is a pastor sent from the presbytery, but in reality, the denomination or presbytery cannot exert any power on the opening church. The reason is that each church is too strong.


Local churches are okay if higher-level institutions don't listen. So even if the pastor is crazy, the only way to prevent it is to expel him, but if he goes out and creates an independent denomination and works before he is expelled, there is no way to stop it.


Also, the pastor who is just going out has already put the congregation in his hands, brainwashed them so that they can only listen to their words, and gaslighted them, so they don't listen to anything other than the pastor's words.


So, if the pastor goes to heresy, the whole church will have no choice but to go to heresy.




The reason for this is that the congregation is actually ignorant.




God called us not to serve the church. It's not to make a service or donation. However, even if no one says so, the congregation has naturally lived thinking that it is their mission to serve the church, to protect the church, and to donate.




Nobody tells me that this is not the way the mission is. I put a prayer on it. Pastors preach by putting the congregation in their hands and cleverly twisting the truth of the Bible.




Some argue that the spirit is good and the flesh is evil, while others say that the outside of the church is a dangerous place. If there is no prayer response, it is concluded that the saint is wrong to pray until he is answered to pray more due to lack of sincerity.




Therefore, Protestantism in the Korean church was called Protestantism. Christianity like a dog is called Christianity for short.


Please think about what remains in the Protestant Korean Church except for church service, donations, the Bible, and prayers. It is Jesus Christ. Christianity is a tool that Jesus, the son of God, tells us that he is Messiah.




Therefore, the church, the place where people gather to convey it, should not cross the place. Protestant churches are said to be called self-employed.


It is economically self-employed because it is a structure where a pastor can make a living only when he makes his own salary and does religious business. Since the donations we make are all about income, we have to force the donations, and we build the building with the reason that we will become a large church and have a stable pastoral service.


What the Korean church has done for decades has been barking church buildings. As a result, a large church and a rich church were created, which made it a well-earned job for pastors to work for large sums of money.




Therefore, it was said that the Protestant church, which had lost its purity, should be reformed again, and the churches without buildings became popular. However, there are only no buildings, and none have been improved.




After all, there is no way out of the church, which is dominated by money.




Even now, the church should be organized and cracked down to prevent the pastor from being involved in the operation of the church. All but the right to preach on Sunday should be taken from the single pastor.


And the rest of the work should be done by having the church run around elders and transparently open up the issue of spending money so that all employees know where and how much money they spend.


In addition, a strong government should be established to further strengthen the monitoring organization and monitor the elders who operate it, and to immediately out them once caught.




If a conscientious pastor is in the process these days, and elders help institutions by bringing their lives to life with church money, it is true that there is no future for the Korean church.

Heresies from early Christianity.

Heresies from early Christianity.




The Korean church is in a state of internal strife, where it has to fight heresy and even with a strange pastor. The reason why this is so tiring is that the number of severely ill patients in the family continues to increase, and it is so economically and psychologically exhausting that it is a situation where there is no luck and lipid that cannot be done no matter what you want.


In fact, these things happened even in early Jesusism. So it is written in the Bible that the apostle Paul pointed out this part.




In the Pauline correspondence, there is a warning about the heresy that caused the chaos that penetrated early Christianity. Paul was wary of this heresy and tried to defend the truth of the right gospel.


It is because of these heresies that Jesus (Christianity) has established the question of what is different. He had to fight legalism and Gnosticism.


Legalism: Ideas that claim Jewish law as a prerequisite for Christian faith.

Gnosticism: The idea that the material world is viewed as evil and that it is saved through spiritual knowledge.




Today, the Korean church is in a situation where it has to draw a line and break up with what is buried in strange ideas such as patriotism and anti-communism in Christianity.


Why is patriotism so bad? I never said it was bad. Why is anti-communism so bad? I never said that it was bad if I did. In Paul's time, the law was not bad, and distinguishing spirits was not bad. The problem is that people who use this to mislead people by slightly twisting should be wary because it is bad.


Simply put, let us not be used by religious scammers.


Religious fraud


Religious fraud is like a fungus. They cannot survive on their own, so they have to parasitize somewhere, but since Christian heresy is these religious messengers, they twist slightly to deceive existing members.


The word "dazzling" means being possessed by the mind or mind, causing confusion or leading to the wrong path.


Heresy conveys Jesus. He emphasizes that Jesus is the son of God and the Savior. So far, it is the same as a regular church. However, it is called religious fraud because it emphasizes the Second Coming of Jesus and indirectly induces him to believe that Jesus, who will come back, is the leader, dominates it physically and mentally, and paralyzes reason through collective gas lighting, that is, brainwashing.


Therefore, patriotism and anti-communism should be driven out of the normal church because they show a phenomenon of being violent and rampant in such a way that they should be hostile, demonized, punished, and killed just by emphasizing this too much and not disliking communism or not disliking communism.


This is what I call a slight twist heresy.




So, if we contaminate the excessive ideas of patriots, anti-communists, and short people to the whole nation, we will live in a world where violence that requires killing someone is rampant and revenge is rampant, so we should keep in mind that we should stop doing this.


And especially Christians, God doesn't like this.


This is why we must remember the history of Christianity's creation of the Crusades and the harm to Christians in that cause. In the Middle Ages, witch hunts were conducted to extort women because they were ignorant and tried to make a profit by twisting them slightly rather than raggi, and it cannot be said that the corruption of selling tickets to heaven showed the height of religious morale.


Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, and Yoon Seok-yeol, who launched a coup by mobilizing the Syngman Rhee regime and the military, who massacred the people for patriotic anti-communism, know that these are really bad regimes and true evils that have committed anti-national acts aimed at the people, and I hope that they will stay away from them all with patriotism.


Should the entire church be criticized because of the far-right church?

Should the entire church be criticized because of the far-right church?


I wonder why the Protestant church is being criticized for heresy and now eating again because of the far right.

It's embarrassing to go to church.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, two pastors, Jeon Kwang-hoon and Son Hyun-bo, criticized the Moon Jae-in government and resisted quarantine, calling it an evil regime that prevents churches from gathering. Shincheonji heresy did this and did the same thing as Shincheonji while already being criticized by the whole nation.


However, most churches were able to overcome the COVID-19 crisis well by cooperating with quarantine. Absolutely many churches actively cooperated with quarantine.


These two pastors put forward a ridiculous and strange logic at this time, and these days, these two pastors cannot distinguish between far-right rallies and church services, and they instigate far-right or all red people by putting their grandfathers and grandmothers at the forefront of resistance and brainwashing violence. Here, too, they drive all the red people, saying that they should kill them.


I wonder where such an ignorant rally is, but during the service, Son Hyun-bo shouted the slogan, "Lee Jae-myung is over." I thought you were rapping. Even if you say something that doesn't make sense, the saint shouts along when he says, "Lee Jae-myung is the end."


It makes me angry to be treated as a church like this. No, it's unfair.


In October last year, there was no discrimination law, but they held opposition rallies and scared that big problems would arise. Of course, the majority of churches do not agree with this. However, many Christians attended the prayer meeting, which was led by a famous church pastor.


And I had a strange prayer meeting that was neither this nor that.


And suddenly, since last month, Pastor Son Hyun-bo has been at the forefront, and he has been running a rally against impeachment separately from Jeon Kwang-hoon. All I can think of is that there is a cashie in here.




Seeing that Christianity intervenes so much in the far right, I think that the fate of Protestantism will end in Korea.


I don't know what the saints are telling me to do if the pastors go crazy.



The Hereditary Fever of Korean Churches and the Way of Protestant Churches

The Hereditary Fever of Korean Churches and the Way of Protestant Churches


Protestantism is a new church from Catholicism, but they also become powerful as they grow in size and become more influential, and even the succession of the pastor in charge to keep their position is carried out without knowing the shame. Some members of the church who wanted to protect the church's property well agreed on the pretext of protecting the property, although they knew that the pastor's hereditary succession was wrong.


He used expedient methods to appoint his son pastor and purge religious opponents of hereditary succession. Who the hell should I protect from? There is a ridiculous justification.




The cause of protecting the property of a large church.


Does the justification for protecting the church's property from the new pastor mean that the new pastor is Satan? I will briefly explain the reality of the church, which requires the pastor to protect the church's property.


The new pastor is a strange person, so if the wrong person does something wrong, he will be worried too much. This proves that there is no way to stop the pastor if he does something strange. It means the same place as the king.


In fact, the reason behind this idea is the ridiculous demands of the pastor, as the elders have no choice but to keep the pastor in check. The greed of the pastor in charge is known to all middle-ranking church officials.


Protecting the property of a large church, which began with a conflict with the pastor, ends with sympathy for hereditary succession.


The pastor in charge says that the owner of the church is Jesus, but he thinks he is himself. Because the pastor in charge thinks he is a YouTuber. This is because I have been fighting endlessly, asking why elders can't spend their money at will when I make money for all the production of condenses. It's because I made a church, but I wonder who the elder, who is a saint, is blocking it.


I often wonder if the pastor has Jesus. Since ordinary saints are only seen during sermons, there is no way to know the personality, morality, or formality of the pastor in charge. So if you say this, you will say that you are not the pastor of our church. I'm being deceived.


This is not because people are pretty, but because it is a matter of the system. To be more precise, it is a disease caused by the system's inability to keep up with society.


As the church developed into a large church, it had a lot of money, and the church had accumulated enough money to raise the question of where to spend it. As a result, an elder who fought with the pastor in charge to protect the church's property was created, so if the wrong person came and had to fight again, I can't help but think it would be too difficult, so I understand that the son of the elder pastor who is still in control would be better.


In other words, the hereditary succession of the pastor in charge of the church and the conflict between the pastor and the elder are all efforts to protect the church's property. It came from an effort to keep money.


The fact that the church was justified in keeping its money is "Yes, it can only be explained as the demon's attitude of saying 'what to do with the corrupt'.


It's a mission to protect the church, and you might ask why it's demonic. It should not be a mission to protect the church, but in fact, he keeps saying that it is a problem to try to protect the property of money while saying that he is protecting the church, but it would not make sense. I wonder if it's the same.


Fighting to protect the church is also a problem.

Churches are created and disappeared. It is stupid to call a violent act with all the risk of something you cannot keep forever.


And precisely, we only changed the packaging from keeping money to keeping it as a church.




There is no system to prevent the rush of the pastor.


Poor churches have no wealth to protect. However, the story is different from the larger church. Hundreds of millions of people come in as donations a week. It can be seen as the level of religious business. People make money for me. The more visitors there are, the more awesome it is. So hereditary succession is only done by large churches, not even by small churches.




In the name of protecting the church, it is to protect the church's property, and it is pathetic to think that the current pastor's son should have been hereditary by using expedient means to protect the new pastor. We can fix the system, but I don't know what to do if we inherit it.


The reason this happens is that too much power is concentrated on the pastor. And the problem is that people are not perfect and always corrupt.


This is because it is very dangerous to change the pastor with imperial power in the current system. If a strange person comes, disaster will be likely. The reason is that even if the control device does not exist or exists in the church, the presbytery or general assembly has no power.


This means that the organization is not decentralized and has no safeguards. Unfortunately, the church currently has no system to prevent the rush of the pastor. Even if there is, there is no power.




The conclusion is simple. Some churches vote for reappointment once every six years, but it's useless. This is because a saint who does not know the deep inside will approve of reappointment. That's why he left the company automatically after 10 years. This is really effective. Of course, it is not stipulated by the General Assembly Act, so there is still a possibility of dispute. The regulations set by the opening church can actually take effect under social law, but if you insist that you cannot leave in 10 years, there is no way.


Therefore, the title of delegated pastor, not the position of pastor in charge, is used to check the power of pastor Dami. In fact, the term pastor is weaker, but in reality, many saints know that the term pastor is strong. The pastor in charge of the church is called the pastor in charge, and the pastor in charge is the pastor who is delegated to the church in the form of a dispatch from the presbytery. In some cases, there are churches that do not give the pastor the position of the party president to the pastor in charge of the party president, but select and operate a new pastor in charge of the administration of the party president.


All these problems happen in the enlargement of the church. The fact that we have a lot of money, hereditary succession, and fighting to protect our property are all side effects of enlargement.



Problems with the position of pastor in charge of the Protestant Church

Problems with the position of pastor in charge of the Protestant Church


Protestant pastor positions vary from church to church, but generally have the following characteristics.


1. Powerful authority and responsibility, like a king?


The pastor in charge is almost like a 'king' in the church. It is basic to take responsibility for the spiritual part of the church members, and they have enormous authority, such as running the church and managing the finances. Especially in large churches, the decision of one pastor in charge determines everything in the church. Congregationalists often regard the pastor as God's agent and obey his words absolutely. That's why the pastor's power is so great that problems often occur.


2. What is your term of office, and can you pass it on to your child?


The term of office of the pastor in charge varies from church to church. Some churches ask for reappointment every few years, and some churches guarantee a permanent position. The problem is that in some churches, the pastor in charge will pass on the place to his children or relatives. This is a hugely controversial issue within the church, with members who oppose hereditary succession claiming that the church is not a personal property, and members who support hereditary succession claim that it is necessary for the stable operation of the church.


3. Can I worry less about money?


The pastor in charge of a large church receives a much higher reward than the general office worker. In addition, they often enjoy luxury company housing, vehicles, and various welfare benefits provided by the church. But not all the homeroom pastors are like that. In small churches and rural churches, there are many pastors who have difficulty living due to low honorariums. They even say that there are cases where they do pastoral work while working part-time.


4. I heard it has a great social influence.


The pastor in charge of a large church also exerts great social influence. They speak out on political and social issues and participate in social movements. There are even pastors who have close ties and influence with the political community. So some pastors are socially respected, but they are criticized for their political statements and actions.


5. Is there any ethical problem?


Unfortunately, ethical issues such as abuse of power, financial corruption, and sexual harassment by some homeroom pastors are also socially controversial. This problem often occurs because the internal check and monitoring system within the church does not work properly. So, efforts are continuing within Protestantism to strengthen the ethics of pastors. It is said that various efforts are being made, such as enacting a code of ethics for pastors and strengthening ethics education.


6. What should I do to become a pastor?


To become a pastor in charge, you must graduate from the Graduate School of Theology and be ordained as a pastor. And you should gain pastoral experience set by the denomination. The process of becoming a pastor in charge varies slightly from denomination to denomination, but generally, it must be strictly reviewed. Even after becoming a pastor, you should constantly develop yourself and serve the congregation.


7. How will the role of the pastor change in the future?


As society changes, the role of the church is also changing. In the future, the pastor will not only take responsibility for the spiritual part of the church members, but also actively participate in social issues and make the church a community that serves society. Also, the ability to communicate and empathize with the congregation will become more important.


8. What are the qualities that the pastor needs?


The pastor in charge should have various qualities such as management skills, communication skills, and problem-solving skills, as well as spiritual leadership. Also, you need to constantly learn and grow. The most important thing is to love and serve the congregation.


9. What do you expect from your homeroom pastor?


The congregation expects the pastor to deliver God's words well and lead the church well. Also, I want you to take care of the needy congregation and show them serving society. Above all, I hope that the pastor in charge will take the initiative and set an example for the church members.


10. Is there a critical view of the pastor?


Sure. Some people criticize the pastor's power as too great, and some people criticize the ethical issues of some pastors. There are also some critics who criticize the church for not actively engaging in social issues. The pastor in charge should humbly accept this critical view and constantly reflect on himself.
