2. This is my church.
They are committed to that identity.
It’s funny how quickly we build these attachments. Earlier today, my daughter-in-law showed me a text conversation with one of her teenage daughters concerning the new HD television the family is getting. Abby wanted to know its size, then she wondered what was going to happen to the old one. Her mom said she didn’t know. That set Abby off. After all, she said, “This is my childhood!” We all laughed at that. But Abby was serious. It’s a historical relic to her.

People invest their lives, their tithes, their labors, and their years in a church and grow attached, not only to the relationships but also to the physical site. I’ve been in churches where someone said, “All my children were married at that altar.” Or “All my family has been baptized in that baptistery.”
We grow attached to churches and do not want to leave them.
