"That is all that matters to them.

I had heard maybe 3-4 years ago that this church was having trouble. Someone told me that fired a preacher that was a true man of God because he wasn't "dynamic" enough. I guess they were in more trouble than I realized.

It's actually really scary how quickly a church can go bad, if they hire a bad pastor. A bad pastor can bring in new members closer to his ideology and run off enough good members. By the time the core membership of the church wakes up to what's happening it's often too late.

A church needs a good core membership of mature christians that are loyal to the church and won't run off the first dispute they have with a pastor, but rather will stay and fight for the church. A deacon body needs to be quick to fire a pastor if they start teaching things that are in conflict with the Bible.
