Wow
only 3.5 years since my last blog post. Let’s
see if we can resurrect this thing. Here
are a few thoughts on church hoppers.
The following thoughts do not take into account those who are in the
military or who have to move often. These
thoughts are based on those who are one place for over 10 years. I also recognize that every rule has an
exception. So, here goes…..
If
you are on your third church in 10 years chances are there are one of two
things happening. One, you are not really seeking Christ on where He wants you
to plug in a make a difference in His Kingdom. There is obviously some very
poor discernment taking place in the lives of church hoppers. Two, you are so
thin skinned or selfish that you let the littlest thing drive you away.
Remember the church isn’t there to serve you; you are there to serve the
church. We often treat the church like McDonald’s and if someone gets our order
wrong, we write them off and go to Burger King.
Jesus told Peter that the church is unstoppable and that the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). Our fickleness makes the
church LOOK very stoppable.
