I am starting to get the feeling that I want to go to another church. I joined my husband's church about two years ago. I have attended this church for a while but the church never really grew on me.
Some of the things that concern me about this church:
1. The pastor lets his recently divorced son preach in the pulpit.
I know the ex wife and I could sense she was being neglected by her husband. The pastor's son is not that great of a preacher he preaches from his flesh. He likes to insult people in his sermons.
2. The church is disorganized - to many examples to give.
3. The church is not growing. Current members or overburdened with the church's workload. Some people have quit due to having to do so much work without any help.
4. Neediness. Everyone is in everyone's business.
5. The quality in preaching is lacking.
6. Double standards. The pastor asked a Deacon to be stripped from his preaching duties after he got a divorce. But the pastor did not ask his own son to step down after his son got a divorce. I feel like this is a double standard.
This is the church my husband attended as a single man , but now that we are married, I would like for us to find a church that fits both of our needs. My husband took on a 2nd job and is in grad school. He no longer does as much church work as he use to. Instead of being understanding of his situation, some of the church members have chastised him for not working I the church anymore. The church members tried to blame me for him taking a step back from the church. I has nothing to do with his decisions. My husband made the decision to go to school and take the 2nd job. They are trying to tell my husband that I wear the pants in the family. They are trying to emasculate him in in order to control him. However, my husband knows that I had nothing to do with the decisions he made on his own. In fact I did not want him to get a 2nd job.
My husband is torn between staying and leaving the church. We have been visiting other churches and I am ready to cut ties with current church.
I am seeking sound Christian advice on why you think I should stay or go. Thanks.
Sorry for any errors I typed this in a hurry.
