Episode 10 :: Question 4 on Leaving One's Church/Ministry
3:02 PM | Posted by
St. Burnish
Question 4—Tari (Ireland): Pastor, my question is this, what do you do when you feel you are in the wrong church on account of the fact that the doctrine that is preached does not go with the word of God? Can you tell your pastor that what he is preaching is not of the word? Should I just hold my peace and leave? What does the bible teach on this? What is the way of wisdom?
Answer 4: Firstly, you can leave. If you don’t agree with the doctrine, you can leave and you leave peacefully. Don’t leave criticizing the church or the pastor. Just leave, if you are sure that what’s going on [the teaching] is not in accordance with God’s word. But remember something, a lot of times you don’t even know as much as the pastor. So, be sure you have accurate knowledge when you are saying this. You might need some help; you might need some extra counsel, but then, the best thing to do is to leave. The best thing to do is to leave in peace than to criticize the church or the pastor. Then you said, “Can you tell your Pastor that what he is preaching is not of the word?” It is not right to confront the pastor; it is not right. You can ask questions in humility. You can ask questions. You can go to the Pastor and ask questions with reference to what he was teaching so he can guide you. So, take a humble step and go to him. If you can’t reach him, you can write a humble letter, and don’t write an anonymous letter. Always put your name when you write.
