Too Many Churches!

"I was pulled from church-to-church as a child. 
I enjoyed hearing about God, 
but I was never allowed to put down roots in any one church.
After a while, a new church just meant a new disappointment."
.
You're absolutely correct, and I understand.
Some people are like grasshoppers.
They go from job-to-job
from lover-to-lover,
from one rental house to another,
from one car to another
and from one church to another.
.
When an adult goes from church to church, continuously, I suspect one of the following:
(and none of these are positive).
.
1) They might want a relationship with God but want to come to God as an equal. 
     Since a good church doesn't preach that we are is equal to God, 
     they are always searching for a church that offers equality with God.
2) Some people are attention-addicts and are looking for an audience to adore them.
     When a church doesn't deliver enough attention and adoration, they ghost that church.
3) Some people are looking for others to control, to flex over. 
     The Epistles talk about people coming into church, trying to build up little kingdoms
     for themselves. When people don't respond, they march off to another area of opportunity.
4) Some people are needy, to the point of being perpetual beggars, looking for long-term handouts. 
    Nowadays, church members often give extra to the church for benevolences, 
    then leave it to church leadership to determine who needs help and how much

Now, 
Everyone needs to know God.
Everyone craves a little attention.
We all want to have some control over our circumstances.
And each of us, at times, needs some type of help.

But living like a grasshopper is not good for children.
Longer adult relationships tend to make happier childhoods.
Commit your adult life to cultivating longer relationships.

Please don't be a grasshopper, and don't blame God that your parent was a grasshopper, eh?
