People called him mad-man
but I was surprised when he moved close to me,
He said, “can I ask you a very important question?”

I nodded, in acceptance,
and then,
he asked, “am I a mad man?”

The obvious answer, from a sane person, will be, "no",
and that was what I said.
“Thank you!”, he replied;

then he said,

“just because I don’t see things the way other people do, does that make me a mad man?”

"No", I answered again.

He bent down, wrote “W”,
and asked me what he wrote.
At this point, I was already feeling ashamed,
getting involved in a lengthy conversation with him.

In a hurry to leave, I said “w”,
but I was amazed when he replied to my answer,
“You only see 'W',
because of the angle at which you are looking at it.

If you turn upside down, you'll see “M”;
If u look from the right side, it is “3”,
and looking at it from the left side, it is “E”.

The fact that I don’t see things at the perspective that everyone is seeing it doesn’t make me a mad man, he said. Then he left.

I pondered for so long about this and its application to life.

Because We act, and relate to people, based on the perspective at which we are looking at their situation.

Have you taken your time to look at other possible perspectives?

I then decided that,
before I get angry with, or act against, or judge anyone that has done something unfavourable to me,
I will view it in at least three possible perspectives;
1.my own perspective,
2.his own perspective and
3.others perspective'.

So, before you judge people, before you rage your anger on them, take a little time to view their angle or perspective, and, if you still cannot see a reasonable reason, then you may act REASONABLY .

THINGS PASTORS WON'T TELL YOU

1. It feels personal when a member leaves the local church.

It's a different story if a member is moving from one town to another.

The Pastor may be a bigger person, bless you in public, and release you but deep down he is hurting & blaming him/herself for your leaving.

Is my preaching that bad that I have to lose members?

What did I say, or preach or do that made this couple to leave?

So when leaving the local church make sure you understand that it is not easy for your Pastor.

And helping him find closure is key.

Those who leave without saying anything to the pastor cause so much pain & stress to the pastor especially if the reason for leaving is unknown.

Kindly tell your Pastor why you are leaving.

It helps the pastor to know areas he needs to improve on in future to avoid the exodus of members to other churches within the area.

When your pastor wants to be informed about your personal private life it means your pastor is a control freak.God is not involved. It's just his obsession to control adults like his children or slaves.
