We went through a church split years ago and had to take a stand against the pastor, who was in sin. 70/30 slit. We were in the 30.

My best friend's husband said this about me, "I am very disappointed in her. I thought she was more spiritual than that." She took her husband's side.

It cut me to the quick! I couldn't eat lunch after the Sunday morning service, I was sick at my stomach. I went into the bedroom to pray and God gave me a song. I said, "God, I don't know all of the words. Would you please show me the whole song?"

That Thursday morning, at Ladies prayer meeting, our speaker said, "God gave me this song on the way here today and I want to sing it to you." It was the song God had given me that past Sunday morning. I can't remember it today, but all it does is show that when we are walking right, God will never leave us.

Don't know why I wanted to tell that.
PO - you are being stubborn again....lol!

You know what I was getting at.

I'll add the steps - - you didn't go back to church, but you saw Sis. Sour at the grocery store - no Hobby Lobby after you cut your hair and she said all that to you.

Leaving because of something your pastor did is different than leaving because you changed on standards and are told you are a backslider. Hurt is hurt, but did anyone tell you that you are lost because you left when the pastor sinned?
