If you are thinking about leaving your church, I would ask you to consider three questions:
1) Is the Word of God still being taught, obeyed, and honored here?
2) Is my service, encouragement, and spiritual giftedness needed here?
3) How can I most effectively help build up this body where God has placed me?

Sometimes God will call us elsewhere to serve Him because of what we can uniquely offer another body of believers. But God will not call us away from a church for our own personal gain. When we take the focus off of ourselves by no longer asking “what’s in it for me?” and start asking God “where can I serve You?” we might have a clearer indication of where He is calling and how He wants to use us.
