Assistants in Focus Series 6 - Good Manners

"And Sunday they arrive with a ugly face, we've had instances of members come to complain about the attention that the assistants give to the people.
Furthermore, posting some things on Facebook, like admiring the amazing ability to endure people who deserve a punch in the face."

We know that there are things that are expected of every human being, and that for this it is not necessary to be converted, or being born of God, such as respect and good manners, for example.

Now imagine what is expected of a person who claims to be filled with the Holy Spirit, at the very least much more of what we expect from people that have nothing of God.

If the assistants, who are the image of the church, are there to help the people, and are with an "ugly" face or closed up, being rude in their way of speaking, do you think that the afflicted will want to get close to her and ask for guidance? I think not, people will flee in seven directions, because a frowned face is scary, it does not invite anyone to come close, it alienates people. It's like if you had a label on your forehead saying "Do not come near me, the mood here isn't good."

Assistants in Focus Series 5- Abuse of Authority

 

Today I want to talk about those people who like to extrapolate, or rather step out of line.

When I think I've heard everything in this lifetime, I get this email:

"And another situation is the issue of a leader of the EBI, the way she treats the teachers, at times shouting, or in any adverse situation by saying that the other assistant has the "devil"."

Unfortunately we have people who are not well situated, they have no idea what the work of God is, much less know words such as: converting, fear, respect, good testimony, being born again, because if they had notion of these words they would quickly realize that they are not prepared to serve God.

Don’t you think it's a lack of respect to treat people with screaming, it isn’t something that just happened in a day of PMS (which also does not justify), or in a moment of anger, it is something constant.
To show authority you do not need to shout, an assistant who has any responsibility must give her best, without mistreating other people.
If the pastor who is the highest authority in the church doesn’t this, at least in the 17 years that I have serving God, I've never seen my husband scream at any assistant, or pastor.

GOD FORGIVES, NOW PAY

God’s forgiveness is bigger than any sin, but sadly it doesn’t keep the sinner from suffering the consequence of what he did.

Understand this: To forgive is to eliminate the anger or hurt against the one who sinned. However, forgiveness does not deal with the consequences of the sin, just the sinner.

I have observed that those who live in sin for a while postpone repenting and changing because of the desire to “enjoy themselves a little bit longer.” Perhaps in their subconscious they tell themselves, “I know I have to change, I will change, but not now… Just a little bit longer… I’ll fix things with God and the world later.”
