What if the roles were reversed? Saints come and go from your churches, they say they're "not being fed..." You live in a city of millions and you run about 25 or 30 steady maybe up to 100 when things are really kicking.
You visit a larger church nearby and count 20+ people singing in the choir who used to go to your place at one time or the other. You meet people in the stores and about who are attending churches in other denoms and they look happier and healthier than you'd ever seen them.
Is this pastor a "shepherd" or a "goatherd?"
