Sometimes they are crakjak...but more often than not, the sheep wander. Sometimes it really is time for people to move on... We were in a situation where it was time for us to move on and the pastor just would not let it happen... Pastors need to realize that. A real man of God told my hubby once, "sometimes, God sends a man to a city to make that city. Sometimes God sends a man to a city to make that man." That is how it was in our case. I honor the men of God who are willing to let their saints/ministry move on a do more for God.

Sometimes people just leave. They want more or want less. They always see greener grass on the other side. They are not being "proselyted," they are leaving. One thing you cannot do is "force" those people to stay. They will end up causing a whole lot of grief in a church.

When people leave, whether on a good note or not, God will always take care of that church.... as long as the pastor keeps walking with God! One man I know said that anytime saints left the church, God always sent new ones!!! Faith!
