"Remember, Jesus went to the temple that day with the full knowledge that the leaders there would crucify him the next day." - Bill Beatty.

I almost left my childhood church a number of years ago. I didn't like the pastor and I felt I "wasn't being fed." I talked with Bill about it and he gave me that quote. I kept going to church, and am still in love with the church, because of that quote.

I am angry at my pastor. He lied, he cheated, and I don't want to deal with him anymore. I tried so hard to run away. I looked into youth positions at neighboring churches, but none were available. I decided that this Sunday I just wouldn't go. Then, by accident I invited a person to go to church with me and realized that now I have to go to church on Sunday.

I need to remember that quote. I need to reinforce my belief that all pastors are sinners, some just need more grace.
