The church looses its first love, if it ever had it, by lack of prayer for individuals, and the church local and universal. When hospitality is replaced with trival acts of pretended friendliness. When what someone does is more important that who they are, a beloved child of God. When individuals set up terrritories and refuse to change: music, worship format, choir, church school, study groups, any thing the chruch does.
When the church is more interested in paying its bills than ministering, loving, growing in faith, ( not physically alone)and competition among members and churches becomes evident.
