Sightings! My Pastor II

My Pastor was informed very politely that he was late 4 1 hr twice.

SUDDENLY, he became extremely defensive and LOUD,
"I'M SELDOM LATE! ....U KNOW HOW IT IS WITH A PASTOR!!!..INTERRUPTIONS..."

He was 'seldom late' yet he said 'u know how it is with a Pastor...'

拿着鸡毛当令箭

and he contradicted himself ...

He said everything but 'sorry'. What's the big deal in saying 'sorry' when you're late? Only when PRIDE hinders you.

Sunday came and he preached, "Speak the TRUTH in LOVE to one another .....so that we may be BUILT UP (or to this effect)....", "The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, PATIENCE, GENTLENESS, ...", and "Be HUMBLE towards one another ......."

No wonder the church has not really grown much for many years (when another church in a remote area has grown to 15,000 in a short span of time).

When this happens, the Pastor says in a pious tone, "Salvation IS by the Lord ..." (i.e. none of his business.)

(laugh out loud)
