The idol factory known as the human heart is always looking for greener pastures. In a culture of throwaway friendships, throwaway marriages and throwaway faith, the question of when it is right to leave a church fellowship needs a solid, biblical answer. Often people leave because of sinful conflict without following the biblical directions for confronting and resolving conflict. Sometimes it is the consumerism of market-driven retail religion and the promise of specialized programs that draws people away from their faith family. Sometimes it is just the wanderlust of a shallow heart looking for the buzz of the next new thing.

But sometimes, there are very good, sound reasons to move on from a local covenant community. Jason Helopoulus has written an extremely helpful article as a guest contributor to Kevin DeYoung’s blog at the Gospel Coalition. We encourage you to check it out.
