Dumb Reasons People Leave a Church
In conversation with a friend from another state, it came to light that a family had stopped attending a church because the pastor announced that he was going to begin teaching a series of lessons on a particular subject.
The family's problem it was revealed was not the SUBJECT, but the fact that the pastor was teaching A SERIES of lessons on the same subject.
Teaching a series, they contended meant the pastor was not allowing the Spirit to direct the services as the pastor had ALREADY PLANNED what the topic was about.
I have heard of people leaving a church because someone sat in their pew, or someone did not speak to them.
One even left a church because he had to walk 3 blocks from where he had to park his car.
Someone left the church here because of the SCREEN whereupon the words of the songs and Powerpoint are displayed.
Have you heard of any other dumb reasons why people leave a church??
Blessings
Parson
