1. A “me-centered” attitude. They go to church for
what they can get
—social interaction, programs, activities. The common
question of the “church dater” is, “What can church do for me?”
2. A “church dater” is Independent. They go to church
because that is what Christians are supposed to do.
They are careful to avoid getting involved too much,
especially with people. They don’t pay much attention to God’s larger purpose
for them as a vital part of a specific church family. They go through the
motions without really investing themselves.
3. A “church dater” tends to be Critical. They are
short on allegiance and quick to find fault in their church.
They treat the church with the consumer
mentality—looking for the best product for the price of Their Sunday morning.
They are fickle and not invested for the long-term, like a lover with a
wondering eye; they are always on the hunt for something better.
(These three points taken from, Joshua Harris-“Stop
Dating The Church!” –Chapter 1- page 16-17)
