It is not that Korean Protestants do not practice community service; they practice it more than the followers of any other religion. However, the Korean society points its finger at Korean Protestantism, calling it “Gaedokgyo” (a denigrating term for Protestantism). The Korean church is eager about evangelizing and community service, but it is being reproached by the society because of that eagerness. Is there a way out? This brief study attempts to find the solution regarding the Korean church’s community service by looking at the social welfare aspect of Paul’s ministry. Paul never talked about a communist society in which all those who belong to the church have to share everything. What the Pauline epistles emphasize in regard to possessions and sharing is not that Christians should give up all their possessions, but that those who have plenty should share with those who are needy (1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 8:14). He said that through this, those who have gathered more should have nothing remaining and those who have gathered less should not be lacking. To Paul, community service was something that one practiced in Jesus’ steps. Jesus’ life and teaching were the signposts and the standard for decisions in the service and work of His disciples. To respond to His call was to love Him and love one’s neighbors at the same time. To Paul, community service means using the spiritual gift that the Holy Spirit poured out individually onto each Christian. Above all else, Paul understands proclaiming the Gospel as his most fundamental duty (Romans 11:13, 4:1, 5:18, 6:3, 11:8). However, he expresses the duty of proclaiming the Gospel and the duty of serving one’s neighbors with one word, “service.” Paul did not refrain from expressing the ministry of Christ and the Holy Spirit as “diakonia” (Romans 15:8, 2 Corinthians 3:8). How we assemble at churches and what we do inside the church does not necessarily lead to the Korean church becoming a practicing community known as the disciples of Christ. The title of Christian is something that the neighbors around us give us after observing our actions. Christians should not argue for themselves that the service of the Korean church in the 21st century is indeed the service of Christ. It would be more accurate to ask this to the objects of our service and their surrounding neighbors.
