Having lived in a pastor's home for all thirty-three years of my life ( preacher's kid turned preacher's wife ), I think I've probably heard just about every reason why someone has become disgruntled and decided to walk away from a particular church. While some are legitimate reasons that are worthy of a change of scenery, some are lacking in merit. Here are just a few from both sides of the spectrum: It was always too hot/cold in the sanctuary. If you weren't born and raised in that church, you'll never be fully accepted. They kept asking me to serve on committees or teach Sunday School. I don't agree with the way they spend money. My child didn't fit in with the other kids in the youth group. Their music was too loud/fast/slow/dull/traditional/contemporary. The pastor's preaching wasn't Biblically accurate. The pastor was always preaching on sin and salvation. There always seemed to be a spirit of dissension among the church body....
