*This is not directed at any specific church.
- Attending is a status symbol.
- Worship is often only music because it is focused more on style than Christ.
- The church is filled with people from other churches who are “checking it out,” and 2 weeks later have left their previous church to go every week.
- The church is filled with people who left their previous church because their role had changed.
- Church becomes “what can you offer me” instead of “what can I bring.”
- As Ross Parsley told me: “every cool church has to surrender to the mini van.”
- Everyone looks the same.
- If you don’t shop at Nordstrom or Urban Outfitters you can’t be on stage.
- In 10 years, half of the church will be going to the next cool church (It is usually a long drawn out process).
- The focus on a younger generation has given my generation an excuse to be consumer minded when it comes to church.
