Many come to church to feel the presence of God but are not committed to knowing and loving the person of God. Many come to church merely to feel good instead of being equipped to do good works (Eph. 2:10). Many come to get a word instead of coming to give a word of edification to somebody (Is. 50:4; Eph. 4:29). Many come to listen to rhetorical messages that excite the emotions with no intention of walking out the word. Many come to shout amen, being deceived into believing that because they shouted, they have already obeyed. Consequently, there are many believers who live no differently than their unbelieving neighbors, which is why megachurches do not always result in megacultural influence, and why church growth doesnt always result in personal and societal transformation. Although many have attended church for decades, they have never matured and are still drinking pabulum, never having digested the meat of the Word (1 Cor. 3:1-3).
