Should I leave my church?
When I got married I moved with my wife to her hometown and we now go to her church where her parents are the pastors. We have been married for over a year now and that's the same amount of time I have been a member of their church.
At first, I saw some things that I didn't like and that nobody addressed (or so it seemed) but I was trying to keep my eyes on the Lord and not anybody else. After a while, I just started to get really annoyed by all the same things I still see happening and that nobody seems to take control over, not even the pastor. Now... the pastor is my father-in-law, and I love him, he's a great person. But I've been feeling, for a while now, that maybe we should go to another church where both my wife and I feel comfortable.
I have told my wife about the things that bother me about the church but I have not told her I've been thinking about us going to another church yet. I think she would feel offended if I told her that. But on the other hand, my spiritual life is getting affected by this situation. I know I know, I should not let it get to me, I should keep my eyes on the Lord, but the fact is that I don't even wanna go to church and when I go I feel like i'm being dragged against my will.
Don't know what to do?! I love the Lord, He's given me so much, and a great wife. I feel bad inside to be even thinking these things, but I don't know what to do.
