From our past experience in a megachurch, we definitely found ourselves as The Service Giver, giving until nothing remained except brokenness and emptiness. Fortunately, we still hold on to our faith in Christ, but as I look, I see many who have abandoned the faith because of toxic churches, which always expect more while their leaders enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. Nice piece. A good word for the body of Christ.
Thank you, Danny. Your experience in the megachurch, unfortunately, is all too common. It would be like a shepherd driving his sheep night and day, whereas the good Shepherd makes His sheep lie down in green pastures and leads them beside quiet waters. I'm very glad God is keeping you in Christ despite the hurtful experience of the past.
