Bible Question: I have a pastor who has a very smart mouth and is causing people to leave the church. I have been asked by some to pastor in a vacant church nearby. Problem is my pastor is also my boss at my fulltime job and he is very vengeful. I cant afford to be out of work. how do I handle this situation? Any suggestions would be welcomed. |
Bible Answer: Brotherlynn:You do not say if the vancant church near by is going to be made up of church members that will leave the church where you now are. Should that be the case don't do it. Church splits only become a grave, like a rutt, but with both ends open. Are you trusting in the Lords direction? Your situation is not unique, and if you respect the Authority of Scripture which has placed this man as pastor, and you are under his authority. If you find this is not working respect His authoority as pastor and resign. Then wait on the Lords direction. Should you by step Scripture you will fail, and hurt many. This isyour time to show you are comitted to obeying Scripture over mans ways. Blessings. justme |
