[When IS the right time to leave a church? How do you know? Here is some advice:]
"You know it's time to leave your church when . . .
You return from vacation to find the visiting preacher's name on your mailbox.
Your church is about to split, and neither group wants you.
Shut-ins pull the window shades and pretend they aren't home when you come for a visit.
The trustees wall-paper your office with road maps.
Your Christmas gift is a subscription to U-Haul Magazine.
The deacons give you a home-made tie made of a lariat and thrown across a tree limb.
You're told God is calling you to the mission field -- now.
