Etiquette, the complex network of rules that govern good behaviour and our social interactions is always evolving and changing as society changes. Without etiquette, members of society would show far too much impatience and disrespect for one another, which would lead to insults, dishonesty, cheating, road rage, fist fights and a rash of other unfortunate incidents. Etiquette help us show respect and consideration to others and makes others glad that we are with them. Without proper etiquette, the customs of polite society would soon disappear and we would act more like animals and less like people. Aggressiveness and an “every man for himself” and God for us all attitude would take the lead.
Churches today are characterized by problems, errors, and frustrations resulting from misunderstandings, misinterpretations, negligence, ignorance, and naiveté. It is a lack of protocol within the church itself as well as the body of Christ that has weakened the church in this way. Wouldn’t it be great if we could minimize these types of problems? That is sure to happen with the assistance of Pastor Mesa.

From finances to etiquette to respect, Diego Mesa imparts wisdom from his thirty years’ pastoral experience. Church members will learn to improve relationships, and have understanding, accountability, and responsibility. The church will gain productivity, a firm direction, and a unified purpose. That ultimate purpose is to tear down the kingdom of darkness and win souls for Christ.
