Some people are not able to shake the go where the deal is the best thinking when it comes to the church. I'm shopping for a church. I go where I get the most out of it. I choose a church for what it offers me. The mentality of the market place has gotten into the church.
People go where they get the best deal .
But it wasn't this way in the church of the Apostles. They did not ask what they could get, but what they could give. Not whether they could be helped so much as whether they could help. It was riot so much a matter of being made to feel good as it was to bear another's burden. And the question was not getting fed so much as giving spiritual food to those who were hungry.
