Warren W. Wiersbe Quote

Too many people attend church as consumers and not as stewards and worshipers. Church buildings have become shopping malls, not sanctuaries, and doing church means doing business and not worshiping God or encouraging others. What's in it for me? is the most important concern of the average churchgoer, not How can I become more like Christ and share what I have with others? If our praying is what it ought to be, we will be transformed from greedy consumers into generous stewards.
