It is interesting that your default position is to defend the pastor. Why is that? Why do you think I should stay?
Have you read my other threads that describe what my family has been through, and recent comments of my pastor?

I am not defending him and I do believe what you have said is the truth. Why should you stay? I just don't want to be another guy who tells someone I do not know what they want to hear.
So, thinking about how horribly Saul treated David, he (David) humbled himself and endured the mistreatment. He did what was right in the Lord's eye and as his reward for being faithful was that he was made King.
