You will discover that Bible Christianity looks very different from how we want the church to look.

1. The church wants us to be busy everyday and that cannot be right
Acts 2:46
"With one accord they continued to meet DAILY in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,"

2. Why should church leaders be paid for doing what God called them to do?
1 Timothy 2:17
"Elders who do their work well should be respected and PAID WELL,especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching."

3. The leader cannot accept such expensive gifts with so many poor people in the world
Matthew 26:9-11
"9 “It could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10 But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me? 11 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.

4. The church should participate in every community project?
2 Timothy 2:4
" No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer"
