A GUIDE TO BEFRIENDING CHURCH BULLIES BECOME SUCCESSFUL Do Not Resign Until God Say So, Or Wait To Be Fired I would like to say to every minister I know that unless you are sure the Holy Spirit inside you is saying, “this is the time, walk away now,” don’t do it. Do not resign abruptly or impulsively. “Therefore, we do not lose heart.” (II Corinthians 4:1, 16) From time to time I receive emails from pastors and evangelist around the world like this: “I resigned from my church tonight. Just couldn’t take it any more. The bullying from a few strong men (or one family in particular) finally wore me out. So, I got good and fed up, and tonight I tossed in the towel and told them I was through. It feels good to walk away and leave all this stress behind. But now, I will be needing a place to move to, a way to support my family, and when the Lord is ready, a new church to pastor. Please keep me in mind if you know of a church in need of my services.” Nothing about that feels right. I want to call to my friend and say, “You resigned in a fit of temper or a moment of discouragement? You walked away from the place God sent you? You quit a well-paying job without knowing where you will move your family or how you will support them? Have you lost your ever-loving mind?!” I guarantee you the pastor’s wife is thinking these thoughts, no matter how loyally she supports her man and aches to see him struggling under such a heavy load. I would like to say again to every minister I know that unless you are sure the Holy Spirit inside you is saying, “this is the time, walk away now,” don’t do it. Do not resign abruptly or impulsively. The book by E. M. Bounds "Power through Prayer" comes to mind. I know that is what helps me in my own walk now. People are hungry (myself included) for a church that has a pastor that is on his knees more than he's on Face book and is a true man of God. I have read this book last year and grew a deeper understanding of prayer and how important it is for me to have my prayer closet and that intimate time with the Lord. As scripture says...Some things not come but by prayer and fasting. Some struggles some answers that are needed take that level of communication with God to come to pass. Challenging and quite provocative to the mind and soul. Practical advice pastor. Do not wait challenging the bullies they may end up very deep rooted Here are 10 reasons not to quit and walk away even when to remain there is killing you:
