Even after we have gotten people converted, many still act and think about the same as they did before. They are consumers, breezing through churches as they would a salad bar, picking and choosing only what appeals to them. They generally select the positive, pleasant benefits of the gospel and leave behind painful, sacrificial cross bearing. The problem is spiritual shallowness. We are becoming a river that is a mile wide and an inch deep.
Christians are spiritually untransformed.
Contemporary Christians tolerate at least an hour of church. A few may even like the warmth of a home support group. But when it comes to committed discipleship, they are absent. This kind of Christian is growing in number faster than all other kinds of Christians combined. Some argue that these people are not converted at all.
