Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People learn to shop for churches; there is no loyalty to the church. They're consumers being attracted to one product or another. I think it's sacrilege, to tell you the truth, it really is.
Churchgoers in America are notorious for jumping into movements, even ideas that are hard to listen to. But when they actually have to change their lifestyle and do something about it, it rarely translates into action.
Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, yet today many in church are chasing after the world - not to win them, but to be like them.
Many people who no longer go to church end up falling prey to superstition.
People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
Going to church doesn't make you any more a Christian than going to the garage makes you a car.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
