The Four Stages of Church Growth Disease

Stage 1:	I’m uncomfortable with all the changes happening around my church, but I guess it’s okay,
	after all, it’s for the ‘lost’ and the ‘youth’ and the ‘mission.’
Stage 2:	I’m disappointed that I’m not being fed at my church, but I also feel guilty for this, after all,
	you go to church to serve, not to be served, right?
Stage 3:	I’m looking for a more authentic community of Jesus-followers.
Stage 4:	I’m an atheist.

This is a bit contrived but reflects more of the truth than we care to admit.
