[Sister Alvear]

You have touched on a very serious subject.
I know there are reasons sometimes to leave a church...however we live in an age where many do not care for discipleship...they had rather do their own thing.
I have noticed on the mission field and most missionaries I talk to have had the same problems. Even people that come from the states most do not have a REAL calling they did not buckle down in the states and live in a dream world...when the going gets tough they back out. So it is with the American church. Not every day will be pie and icecream when the real work begins...faithfulness, tithes and offerings, church work, helping, putting the shoulder to the will...it is easier for some to join the forever discontent group or the revolving group that just goes from church to church.
Some people cannot take correction as long as you baby them, pay their bills, help them all is well but correct them and they are gone...
and like I said sometimes there is a real reason to leave but most of the time there is not...
