Dave Dorr challenges consumer attitudes being applied to church.
He suggests a few “attitudes that show we are relating to our church as consumers”:
1. Consistently dwelling on the thought, “Is this church the right fit for me?”
2. Having an attitude that says, “If the leadership would just do ______________ better, then I would be happier.”
3. Comparing the offerings of your church to another church.
4. Seeing things that need to be improved in your church but taking no responsibility to do anything about them yourself.”
Dorr asserts (correctly) that the death of Jesus kills the consumer in us.
