He says, It's what some have called the 'McChurch' mentality. But his statement set me to wondering if it was true. There can be no doubt that we have become a consumer society. And it is true that we have brought that consumer mentality into the church in many ways. In some ways I suppose that s good.
Church members are like consumers of religion.
For the church to survive, it must meet the needs of the people who come. It's a proven fact that people will go to the church that meets their spiritual needs. The same is true in the business world. Local business owners often complain about Wal-Mart, but their parking lot is always full. They must be doing something right.
