293 – Karl & Laura – Volunteer Labor and the Church
A new topic we haven’t thought about much before…
Why do we have to pay (offerings) and are still required to do most of the work (service)? Why do pastors/staff demand personal/family time but expect us to “serve” during our free time? What qualifies some in the church to direct the work and others to do it? Why does God need a huge building, an expensive staff, and tons of already tired people to do his work? Doesn’t it sound like brainwashing when someone convinces us to do all the work to fulfill their vision? Why does the lead pastor get to go on expensive trips while their associate pastor “holds down the fort?” Aren’t we just mimicking capitalism and Corporate America? Wouldn’t we be disappointed in a charity that spends 70% of its donations on the building and staff, like the church?The Desert Sanctuary Resources
