The Golden boys and girls of the church.
Yeah you heard me right. Golden Boy. What is a golden boy in the context of a Christian community? . As I am discussing with my house mate this is our definition. The one who is always asked to do a lot of things. Asked to be on stage, ask to serve asked to do this and do that. The one where the pastor would be proud of and always smile around them. The one that is always centre stage in church. Is it wrong to be the golden boy? No . Not at all. However, I would like to lay down certain ideas. Again not hinting to anyone. Just my usual theological midnight chats with my house mate that sparked this idea. So let me begin with the good part. It depends on the convictions of the individual. This is assuming that the individual understands the gospel. Because if the "golden fella" is liked by everyone because he or she is performing and doing everything right then something may be off. Because there is a danger of making it all about performance and what they are doing right...
