Dear brothers and sisters,
How far are believers to respect our church leaders? What might a layman do if he sees his church countenancing sin?
For example, your church puts up a giant portrait of "Jesus" near the door. Should you say something? Or just let it slide?
Or your church does something in worship that goes against Scripture (ie. pretended holy days). Should you speak with the pastor or should you stay quiet?
Or your church routinely disregards the Sabbath, the congregants along with the pastor going out to lunch or coffee after the Lord's Day worship. Is it best to keep your mouth shut?
