Bible Question: When should a person leave a church? That is, when should a person stop attending a particular local church? |
Bible Answer: In Ephesians it talks about unity in the chuch, the body of Christ. I believe that it is through the Holy Spirit that we are led to a body, and that being true we all have a place in the body of Christ( 1Cor 12:14-26).Now I believe that if we are called to leave we must do so at the specific call of God. We do not want to leave the body injured or without working parts. Paul through out his writing talked about persevering and praying for the lacks within a church. If we leave due to hurt or injustice I believe we take that with us to the next place. So, the decision must be approached carefully, in prayer and you must have confirmation from God before leaving. |
