I am very pure and down to earth person & believe to Jesus for everything. I love everyone who do bad or good with me because Bible say forgive the people and pray for them how much you can. I help my friends or strangers who really need financially or any part of work. Coming to point, i share to my pastor if i help someone financially or treat them good food or drinks so pastor can pray for them for their goodness. Pastor is angry with me and said what you doing which is totally wrong & trying too much restriction in my things. he listen church members whithout knowing facts always scold me sometime hurt me but always forgive him. I recently lost my job, try to contact him but not at all responding whether that is message or not later get to know he don't want to talk me. he just want not to meet my friends & stop doing parties. anything post on social media doesn't like at all say against the Lord. I don't drink much very occasionally with friends but smoke sometimes at the times of parties with friends. i alway make my pastor i don't drink regularly but he don't understand at all. Now my pastor not talking with me, not at all responding my messages or call so what shall i do? if i stop meeting my friends then no one is there help me to support on my bad days, my friends are very good everyone loves me.

Well, when you do something to help someone else, I wouldn't bother him with it. What you do for others just doesn't need to go farther than you, the person you helped, and God. That's it. It is not up to him to judge you. If he is on your social media accounts, he doesn't need to be. Pastors are supposed to support you, whether you are right or wrong, and if they think you are wrong, they can try to lead you in the way you should go, or that they think you should go. Whether you drink or smoke is not his business. It's yours, and it's your choice. Maybe I am saying too much, but I do know the best way for a church to lose supporters is for the church leaders to be judgmental. Just be the best person you can be. Hang out with others that are also trying to be good people. Pick your friend wisely, and you will be OK. Maybe another church would be a better fit--don't be afraid to visit one or two.

I also wanted to suggest to find a different church. And maybe it would be a good idea if you didn't tell other people too much about yourself. Why should you tell your pastor that you help people? I don't understand this. Keep it to yourself.

Find another church and from now on be more discrete about your life. You do not need to talk too much about yourself.

A person with a pure heart is always close to God and i don't think God minds or objects being close to friends.

@iamsantoshpatnaik and anyone who who holds so much anger is unfit to be a pastor. This is what I feel. I..sorry if I hurt you

Don't share with your pastor even when he ask. Your friends and family love you and this is what matters. You can change your church it's an option

Yes you are right just follow whats on the bible. And regarding to your pastor, talk him personal and follow his advised. If he can't understand your side just give him time and the best thing just pray to God. God will open your pastor mind. Yeah pray God will help us in every problem.

Oh no. That's not a good behaviour by him. Jesus loves all, he hates sin but not us - the sinners. Start spending your time with Jesus, and rely upon Him more than your friends. But spend time with your friends too

PROVERBS 13:20 - watch the company that you keep - surround yourself with others who will continue to inspire you to your betterment. If you have faith in Christ,not your friends will help but him,Jehovah jireh..the mighty God,he is our provider,deliverer.
