I go to a small church. A couple met at the church last year and recently had a baby. Turns out one of them is married. The couple has been attending church together on and off together since they met. I am considering leaving the church due to knowing the details of the situation and seeing there is no repentance or steps towards correcting the situation (getting divorced/re-married). What is the best thing to do? It's been difficult for me to continue fellowship knowing the situation.

Don't be so self righteous, your skeletons could fall out of the closet as well. Minding your own business is what's required here.

This is extremely cynical. There are no adulterers in my church (and being an elder I would know about them).

Also, how can you make a statement such as "maybe the next time you won't know about it and can be more comfortable"? Have you discussed your attitude with the Lord yet?

You have no way of knowing if you have alduterers in your congregation... It could be anyone.

first pray ask God to make decision on god's way not your own. And if they have that promblem help in what you can but because they are not punished because of what you think is no meaning to change from church.

That's their promblem not yours and not the churches fault either their being sensitive about it. Let God do things and you should continue in that church and it makes you feel uncomfortable tell the pastor. It's wrong what they did but that's how love is and you show them your good christian that doesn't judge but God will judge them. perhaps they will later repent and talk to thier spouses and acknowledge they did things bad.

But because of others sins are not yours and not a reason for looking for another church. God will ask them what they did wrong and what you did ? and he knows your innocent and your A good guy. Be good to them and understanding that way they will look for A better way.
