One time the ministry was furious we wouldn't sit at head table during a Christmas banquet. Well, we had invited quests who ended up being elected as mayor of the town. How in the world does acting important minister to people?

Well, in the first place we are supposed to be honoring God. In the second place our reward is in heaven. In the third place, we honor each other daily, not just once a year. And that goes for our Pastor's, saints, etc.
