The modern church has become more of an experience for Christians to partake in, rather than a hands-on situation. The Bible, and our Lord, gave each individual believer immense power within the body of Christ, yet much of that potential goes to waste due to top-down churches where the leadership supplies the experience for the spectating audience. It is easy to see how church-goers could become complacent in such a relationship; however, very little is gained for the kingdom of God in this scenario. The Western Church has lost the flare God implanted within us, that the new churches all across the globe are still applying every day. The churches in hostile areas of the world tend to be stronger because people feel more ownership, and there are no luke-warm attendees due to the conditions.
