The American Church: Comfort and Laziness
The American church is often criticized for its comfort and laziness, according to Michael Chancellor, who states:
There is a laziness that comes with comfort, with supportive communities and governments.This laziness contributes to the dissonance between the church and the culture in the United States.
In Abilene, Texas, at Crescent Heights Baptist Church, the author observed a unique situation. Hardin-Simmons University offered a generous scholarship program for children of Southern Baptist missionaries, resulting in a constant stream of missionary families visiting the church.
- The church provided a small residence for these families during their furlough.
- These families brought new energy to the church, but some missionary kids (MKs) struggled with the comfort of the American church.
- They were disillusioned with the "opulence" of the congregations they visited.
Author's summary: The American church's comfort leads to laziness.
