Our church considers mokjang moims to be a vital part of the church. Participating in the meetings is one of the requirements for signing up as a member of the church, and you also need to belong to a mokjang and be involved, in order to be able to do church ministries. This is because the church is a community of mokjangs gathered together.
I hear about people not wanting to go to mokjang moims, and I think there are three main reasons for this: first of all, going to mokjang moims every week can be burdensome especially if you are leading a busy life. Secondly, you realise the moims are not beneficial to you. And lastly, you don’t get along with certain people within the group and feel uncomfortable being around them. And I’m sure there are many other reasons besides these.
If you don’t go to your mokjang moim, how much better do you make use of your time? So far, mokjang moims have played a big role in saving souls and helping our faith grow. We would not be where we are today, if we only came to church on Sunday and skipped mokjang moims.
If you don’t feel like you are learning much from your mokjang, please remember that mokjangs are for dealing with our emotions and feelings, and gaining knowledge is done through bible studies. We learn about dealing with our feelings through relationships with others and also through sharing our lives with them. We grow emotionally through sharing our pains, fears and worries. Where else would you experience this but in your mokjang?
When you experience difficult relationships, you eventually realise that it’s part of a process in exposing and recovering your weaknesses.
So rather than avoiding the situation and running away from it, facing the problem by being more honest and open about your feelings will help you mature as a christian.
If you still have the same problem despite having tried your best, and you genuinely wish to start fresh in a new mokjang, please speak to your mokja. Your mokja and moknyo will carefully consider your request and make their decision based on what is in the best interest of the development of your faith.
However, if the problem you are facing in your mokjang is in your relationships with others, the best way to grow in your faith is to overcome the problem rather than avoiding it.
