Food for thought that another Pastor posted…..
One of the clearest signs consumerism has shaped the church is how quickly people leave communities the moment discomfort appears.
A sermon confronts sin.
Leadership disappoints them.
Relationships become difficult.
The music changes.
Someone hurts their feelings.
And instead of pursuing reconciliation, endurance, and maturity, many simply move on to another church experience.
But covenant community was never meant to function like consumerism.
The New Testament assumes believers will struggle, forgive, bear burdens, and grow together over time.
That is how spiritual maturity is formed.
