Even if the pastor is wrong, it would be wrong for me to defy the leadership. Better to find somewhere else to attend, and make sure things are right between me and God, than to put myself in the dangerous position of trying to pull down or overthrow church leaders.
David's response to Saul in the cave is a prime example of what our attitude should be.
