And Nick that’s exactly my point, who defines the levels of spirituality? Your minister? Your mentor? You? The Bible? Your tithe? I agree with certain boundaries, the thing with boundaries in church relationships is that although they should & must exist I’m afraid that when it comes down to it, its just an excuse to not reach out. On the other hand it leads to different cliques or classes of people or should I say classless people.

There are leaders who “think” they are spiritually mature over those who are “less” mature, black, white, rich, poor, leaders, congregation, pulpit, pew…thing is you are what you are right? A sinner! To think that your anything better is sin is it not?

I mean we all know who we are or rather know what we are without Christ or have we forgotten so easily? We can walk around in our Sunday best with this superficial facade pretending to be who we’re not, we can decide to be a stupid jerks one Sunday & the next Sunday the skies are parting & the sun is shining down just radiating the love of Christ. How fake & superficial. It serves no positive spiritual purpose either way as a leader your just shooting yourself in the foot & as a Christian you falling short of your calling. The bottom line is Christ was a friend to everyone & as Christians we should strive to become what he was & still is & that is a friend.

God bless you bro Carlos. I think I understand what was meant by the leader who said they were not the ‘friend’ of the young people.

Sometimes, leaders do need to maintain a certain level of boundary so that the youth do not become overly familiar with them.

I can think of spiritual mentors, who yes are true friends in the sense of the word, but probably would not define themselves as such i.e. we are not on the same level (I look up to them and respect them as a senior in the Lord). They love me, encourage me and can rebuke me when I am wrong.

It’s hard for me to explain, and I can not speak for the leader who you have posted about. But, I do see what they may have meant.

so true!
i love this song/skit combination. it is just SO powerful.
a couple of months ago i went on a youth mission from Australia to Fiji and on about the second day we were gathering together certain items to do and one of the guys had seen this one and thought we should do it. at first we were a bit confused but then he showed us a film clip of someone else doing it and from the first movement we were hooked. so we learnt it and performed it a number of times and each time it was just so powerful. it was amazing because it crosses the language barriers, encompasses all intelligence levels, people from every background, EVERYONE.
even now when i listen to the song i can fell god using it to change/improve me.
just so great, praise god.

rejoice in the lord always, and again i say rejoice.
