This quote refers to the problems that seeker sensitive churches experience when the seekers become unsatisfied. In trying to draw people to church by promising to meet their needs, the consumerism of the culture seeps into the church. The end result is that people move on when they are not happy their current church just like they would do with their grocery store.
