Even in the New Testament the churches had to deal with the problems people create. This age is not unique in that regard.

The ministry is working with people. Occasionally some people persist in creating problems in the church.

Most Christians are a delight to be around, but a few love to create problems. How should we handle the problems that arise?

Occasionally (and thankfully not often) a pastor’s behavior will disqualify him from ministry, how should a church react?

Some mistakes pastors make warrant more than “just” an apology. How should the members and the pastor react to that event?

Although we wish we were infallible, we definitely are not. How should a pastor respond to his mistakes?

When anyone leaves the church for any reason, it hurts. How can we heal from that wound?

There may be a gap between how a pastor should respond and how he actually does when people leave a church.

People leave churches. It has happened and will continue to happen. In every church. So, how do you handle it?
