Ever Walked Out of a Church Service???

[Bro. Robbins]

A friend of mine, that makes me look liberal by the way, attended a church for a Revival Service last night.

He already knew this church was more liberal than he is, and knew the evangelist was liberal. But he and his wife went anyway.

They asked him to greet the people, he did. He testified... and layed into them in his testimony and exhortation.

Then, during the preaching, he gets up off the second row and walks out with his wife... and creates a scene then.

When he told me this morning what he had done, I corrected him. To me, he already knew what he was going into, plus if he accepted the invitation to testify as a guest, he should be respectful, encouraging, and once taking that invitation, I think he's obligated to stay during preaching... no matter what goes on short of them trying to sacrifice babies and small children in the altar, LOL.

There have been times that I've had to leave a service because something was going on that was totally out of the Word and wasn't anything I should be a part of. Those have been few and far between. But I think my friend was just wrong for his behavior...

So... here's the question.... ever had a time you had to just get up and walk out of service because of something that was going on? How did you handle it? Was there any aftermath?
