Yesterday a pastor and his wife made total fools out of themselves on a flight that I was on from Amsterdam to Nairobi.\u00a0 They were demanding different seats and when their rant didn’t seem to have much impact he topped it by declaring to the Purser: “I’m a Christian pastor about to lead a week-long seminary workshop on leadership principles for new pastors, so I need a comfortable seat so I can go over my notes.”<\/p>\n
People all around were gawking at him.\u00a0 It was like they were slowing down on the Interstate to stare at a car wreck.\u00a0\u00a0 An awkward moment of silence followed.<\/p>\n
Then a tall, skinny, dark African man, wearing a well-worn suit, stood up a couple of rows away.\u00a0 He walked back, and said “I too, am a pastor.\u00a0 My seat is comfortable. Please take it.”<\/p>\n
He American was stunned.\u00a0 He finally realized what was happening.\u00a0 He was traveling to Africa to teach leadership principles, but on the way, an African showed him how to lead.<\/p>\n
Please. Stop the stupidity. If you’re going to name the name of Christ, at least act like him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
