江湖地位

I don't like how some people use this term, 江湖地位, to describe serving position in church. I think it's just wrong, as in, "You who seat here at this meaning all have 江湖地位" or in the context of rank. I don't think we have any 江湖地位. As the Bible says, the biggest is the last and the smallest is the first in heaven. We don't have any 江湖地位. The force and power is up there. None of us own that power. It comes from above. We are all scums. We have nothing, everything is given. Even the things we think we deserve.

Of course there are other forces in the world. People can form their own forces, create power, but those aren't from up there. There are forces of evil, power of destruction and etc. But church is another thing.

We shouldn't use those kind of tools.

We are all equal and meager beings.
