Church shopping is weakening Christianity

Carl Trueman writes of the negative effect upon Christianity by the automobile, of all things. He draws this point out from a statement made in the National Review that church shopping is weakening Christianity.  I think he is certainly on to something.  Rather than living and serving in community together, when people are offended or facing church discipline, they can just drive on down the road to a church that suits their liking.  He writes, "And if they drive far enough, they always find such a place.  Trust me.  They always do.  There is always some place that either does not know them or simply does not care what they have done." Unfortunately, that does not seem to represent biblical Christianity.  I would commend the whole article to you.
