Bible Answer: WilBo: I have serious concerns when ever anyone talks about "a way to do it right to get rid of the Controlling Preacher". I don't know all that you do, but may I suggest a few things. Because you have said you have been a Christian for 35 years, I will assume you are a mature Christian who is very fimular with the Bible. I am sure you already know that Scripture warns not to condemn his anointed. Should someone go against the Lords called, there is sever warnings not to bring false charges against an Overseer. Again I assume you have followed Matthew chapter 18 in confronting your Pastor. Having been a pastor, I think I can tell you that being a Pastor is a heavy responsibility to God and the people. I suggest you fast and pray for half a day and seek God's wisdom. A church does not hire a Pastor, he is called by God. Thus a church should never fire a pastor, unless it's for imorality or serious sin. To dismiss a pastor without any redemptive effort on the churches part is so very wrong. I encourage you to attempt to talk with your pastor, go to him, with someonelse, and reason with him. If you or others have not talked with him in very plan English you would be completely unscriptual and no basis for such a action. I hope you enter into a time of asking God to direct you actions.
