Should they leave or stay?

I preach what I wee in the Word of God and if people can't abide by that it is better that they go else where.

If I were attending a church and could abide by what was being preached I would leave and go elsewhere instead of staying there and being in rebellion to the pulpit.

I might add that I have only had about 2 people in 15 years to leave the church I pastor because of the standard preached.

No it wasn't quite half of them.

After they left the husband called my home and gave my wife a good cussing.

If they don't want to obey the Word, that's God's problem to deal with. They are not doing it to obey me, and when they have their own walk with God, he'll change them if it's really the word.

Sometimes Pastors think being in Spiritual authority means to be a dictator or overlord over God's heritage.
Some folks take advantage of their position.

Very true Bro.Scott and some saints think they are not spiritual unless they suffer under such a man.

If someone is abusing their Spirtual authority inflicting damage and harm to The Lord's heritage ,one is not obligated to stay there.
I'm am not Anti-Ministry because everyone needs a Pastor and without one I don't see how anyone can be saved, but many abuse their callings ,but the true five-fold ministry is God's gift to the church.

A true Spiritual leader would rejoice that ministers that under their charge are having success reaching new people.
