To my dismay I’ve not always found some of the local pastors with semi-mega churches to be on guard for themselves and for the parishioners they are serving. Without naming the ministries or the pastors but suffice it to say the preached Word is typically on fire, the spirt of worship is second to none, all the while their pockets are getting lined by the constant requests from the pulpit for money. In this kind of situation, I have found that one guards themselves as leaders as well as members to respond in either of two distinct ways – voting with one’s feet, and or voting with ones pocketbook. My family and I elected to vote with our feet and it was the best thing that happened for us as a family. We must always be on guard.
