I think people who leave truth preaching churches and go somewhere else because of a "better" program, or bigger youth group, or whatever, and think they can just teach their kids at home the proper doctrine to contradict what they hear at their new "progressive" church are stupid, plain and simple.

Love of God
Love of people
Doctrinal purity
oratory skills
people skills
business sense
humility
