individualism in the church

It is scandalous that so many believers today have such a low view of the church. They see their Christian lives as a solitary exercise - Jesus and me - or they treat the church as a building or a social center. They flit from congregation to congregation - or they don't associate with any church at all. That the church is held in such low esteem reflects not only the depth of our biblical ignorance, but the alarming extent to which we have succumbed to the obsessive individualism of modern culture." Charles Colson as quoted in Why Small Groups? by CJ Mahaney.
