What's more important ...

A close friend invited me for her upcoming bridal shower and wedding. I am very happy for her that she’s getting married. Everything seemed to be great except one thing – I don’t wish to see her pastor and wife. She adores both of them and I’ve stopped going to her church. I did not feel like telling her why (she did asked once), ‘coz (1) I don’t want my subjective feelings towards her pastor hurting her; (2) I don’t want to be bias.

Whatever that both her pastor and wife have said and done to me (I don’t think it’s appropriate to elaborate here), I have already move on with my life AFTER some episodes in their church. It just annoys me that it’s of high chances I may be seated together with them and having to pretend that I get along well with them.

I ask myself what is more important here, having learnt a lesson from an unhappy experience or continue to fuss about the pastor and wife going to the same wedding that I do. After some struggle, I’ve decided to choose the first, because it will always serve as a reminder for me that young Christians (like me) should be careful when deciding which church to go to. It is not to promote any denomination (or no denomination), but it is important that wherever we go, it should help us to build correct fundamentals about Christianity, and not otherwise.
