A Leaked Sion Choir Leader sex tape Caused A Stir In Sekhukhune
A well respected Sion Choir Leader from schoonoord(DIHLABANENG) Rooi Maota, A middle aged man who surprisingly got him self in hot waters after his sex tape emerged from anonymous. From hero to zero as he’s one of the best choir leader’s in the village.
The video circulated in Social media hours after it was leaked, for a suprise he was having with one of the choir girls. Which rises many voices that he did not sleep with her alone, they might be many from the choir girls. This might cause his demotion fron the leader sit in the church. A source says the pastors in the church might not demote him as he knows much of their secrets and those they sleep with.
After days of tendinh another picture emerged as he is with a male friend, with protections on his chest. Which one asks that is he gay and straight at same time.
Kind of a strange thing to even say it, isn’t it?
Why on earth would pastors and church leaders have a hard time attending church of all things?
After all, wouldn’t leaders who have led churches be the most anxious to attend them?
Strangely, not always. You can talk to thousands of people who used to volunteer or lead at a church who will tell you they no longer attend. Or maybe they attend, but it’s just ‘not the same’.
Why?
That’s a great question.
I want to offer up some reasons I think pastors and church leaders struggle to attend a local church once they’ve led in ministry.
The common issue? Current and former church leaders who struggle with attending a local church.
Many Of Us Have Been There
If you attend church but aren’t involved, or if you’re serving right now and love it (which if you are, I’m glad!), you might not even understand why a post like this would be written.
But if you’ve ever served at a local church as a dedicated volunteer or a paid staff member, you likely have an idea of what I’m talking about.
Not attending church after you’ve led in a church is actually quite a widespread phenomenon. Just browse the comments on this blog and it won’t take you more than 5 minutes to hear from someone who used to lead in a church and now isn’t engaged at all anymore.
How does this trend of non-attending former leaders show up?
Pastors who used to lead a church who now just sleep in on Sundays and have given up on all forms of the local church.
People who only attend when they’re ‘on’ the music team, the greeting team, serving in student ministry, or speaking.
People who stop attending the moment they stop serving.
Every time I hear of it, my heart breaks a little more.
Please understand, I know the local church is not perfect. But I honestly do believe the promise of the local church is greater than the problems of the local church. And I realize the Church (as Christ sees it) is bigger than any local church. But to pretend the local church in all its forms around the world isn’t a part of the Church is, well, just not accurate.
And a little disclosure here. Everything I’m writing about in this post, I have felt. Sometimes just a twinge, but I’ve gone there in my mind.
For the record, I intend to be part of the local church as long as I live, whether I’m paid to lead or not. But when I’m on vacation or out of town, I often slip into a local church for a service (or sometimes even the one I lead) and it’s…different. I wonder.
Could I attend here?
Why do I feel so different?
What’s going on?
Once you’ve been involved, it’s just different.
So I’m just wondering if maybe some of the things that go on inside of me might the same as what’s going on inside you or someone you know and care about.
If not, just give thanks. (Seriously.)
If you’ve struggled with this feeling before, ask yourself whether any of these 2 reasons might be part of your struggle.
1. Your Identity Is Tied To What You Do, Not Who You Are
So who are you really? A preacher? A musician? A worship leader? A student director? An elders? An usher? A group leader? A staff member?
No you’re not.
You’re a child of God redeemed by a Saviour who came for you.
So many of us define who we are by what we do. I struggle against this every day.
Before you dismiss this, do this simple test that Tim Keller offers.
“If work [or ministry] is your idol, if you are successful it goes to your head, if you are a failure it goes to your heart.”
Boom. Maybe your identity is more tied up in what you do than you think.
3. You’ve Seen How The Sausage Is Made And Have Lost Your Appetite
Yep. Church is messy, flawed, disappointing and at times deeply hurtful.
Largely because people are messy, flawed, disappointing and at times deeply hurtful. And we live on this side of heaven.
Hurt, unresolved, breeds cynicism. And there are so many cynical former church attenders who simply haven’t addressed their unresolved issues.
