It's not about you!

Numbers 14: 3 - 4

³ Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey.

Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?” ⁴ And they said to one another, “Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

 

People leaving churches is nothing new anymore.

What would be a switch, is if Shepherds left churches they were in, because the people didn’t do or respond like they should have.

 

That would be a change in action, but then that might explain why 1,500 Pastors leave their churches each month in the U.S.

So when we dump and run, what are we telling the people without any hope at all?

 

Have we lost the flavor of commitment?

Have we made this whole thing about us, and not about God?

 

Do we hit the trail hot foot, just because something doesn’t go our own way?

Unfortunately, that’s the game that some play.

 

There are those though, that will press on when trouble comes to the church.

There are those who will press on, no matter what. Which one are you?

 

I think those who press the Pastor for perfection, should actually look in the mirror.

Maybe if we’re going to fight the good fight of the faith, we should actually stay in the fight.

 

Actually, I’d rather fight, than switch!!
