Yes: First, pray, and stick with it.

Second, respectfully offer some solutions. Do a search in your area for good churches. These can include PCAs, OPCs, RPCs and other solidly Reformed denominations.

Third, find out if there is a Bible Study you can attend out of one of these Reformed denominations, and ask your husband to come with you. Lots of times, all it takes is knowing others in a church so that one doesn't feel quite such a stranger when one finally goes to a different church.

Fourth, try reading Jeremiah Burroughs' The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment. When I was in a terrible church situation with no apparent way out, this book helped me to understand in a far deeper way that ther Lord was aware of my situation and that He had something to accomplish in me through it. It will help you understand the sovereignty of God even in this situation.

Fifth, pray for the church you are attending now, and about finding ways to minister faithfully there until God provides a way for you to leave.

Sixth, never murmur and complain against your pastors. It can be an heroic effort, but NEVER speak ill of them. God does reward the person who looks for godly solutions to challenging situations and refuses to give in to habits borne of bitterness. Make it your goal to speak the truth in love openly and in love and in accordance with Matthew 18.

Hope this helps.


Stand Fast, Craigellachie!
