As an Asian, I feel that this is a sensitive issue for me. I know that many Asian American churches are basically country clubs on Sundays. I also know that many Asian "Christians" (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) in North America are pretenders: they want the benefits of the gospel without taking on the demands of the gospel. You can see this in the way they live outside of church. However, Scripture clearly states that we should strive for "peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). Instead, in many of these Asian American churches, I find a lot of bickering, dissension, gossip, factions, and jealousies. Not the type of attitude and behaviour that exhibit the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24). Does anyone here agree with me?
