Why are so many people discontented with their churches? I've been thinking a lot about this and I believe the number one reason has more to do with the spiritual condition of the people attending the churches than it does the church itself. I believe the number one reason people don't feel happy at their church is because they are not hungry enough for God. Many times people say that one main reason they don't like their church is because aren't getting fed. I have two comments to this:
1) If you were a little more spiritually hungry you wouldn't be as picky about what kind of spiritual food is being served. Jesus said, "Blessed are the people who hunger and thirst after righteousness because they will be filled." This is a promise that will not be denied.
2) A mature Christian should be able to feed himself. There is time for other people to be feeding you but there also comes a time when a person has to be able to get his inspiration from God alone. We won't always have people around us to feed us when we are hungry, and so we must be ready to do this on our own.
