In the global economy, socioeconomic status is often determined by one's occupation. Every job has specific performance expectations, which are evaluated based on goal achievement. The sustainability of a position is contingent upon its productivity and output.However, within the context of the church, the designation of a position is rooted in its name, as it aligns with the defined paradigm of Christ. This position entails embodying love and acting as a manifestation of Christ towards others. Anything that deviates from this purpose, particularly when driven by ulterior motives such as personal gain, no longer holds true to the original definition of the position. As believers, we are an extension of Christ's body rather than autonomous entities. Consequently, authority within the church is only partially derived from a human level, and its existence is inherently intangible. I encourage you to reflect upon these thoughts.
