Adeniyi A.:
People are actually taking God for granted because instant judgments are no more allowed . I only take my phone to church to record sermons.
Even if the self acclaimed pastors are only speaking skills void of spirit and so on., that should not give anybody liberty to disrespect God by answering calls or pinging - the most annoying act to me.
I always say this, that going to a theology school does not qualify you to be a pastor, if you are not genuinely called. There are some occurrences in an holy spirit commissioned gathering that will not give room for people to get involved in some of these dispecable acts, but when a gathering is devoid of God's presence and the leadership is not interested in people's salvation but only what he/she could get from them, such attributes are condoned, tolerated by him because he doesn't want to loose rich members.
In His dealings with us, God is always good.
Praise God! & happy Sunday to you all

God bless you sir. Quite insightful.

delors: Well, some of them are unavoidable and shouldnt be on the list
C'mon mehn, they are not zombies. They could talk but not chatter! for instance, brother John can ask from brother James what verse of Acts pastor Luke just mentioned. cool

Okay, so this one is not nice...but sometimes when the sermon is becoming unusually long...(Ok, not good altogether) wink

Well, as led by the holy spirit grin It is called 'sleeping in the Lord' grin

lolz, aint that funny? thank God na fingernails, what if na toe nails the bros dey clip nko?

Not good...at all...even if na $1m contract from Dangote, don't pick the call.

This shouldnt be on the list. Some people are meant to use the washroom every 10mins...otherwise service go quick end...gaseous effect grin

They missed the blessing already.

Shouldnt be on the list. I mean, can u tell a crying baby to shut up? Let the babies cry, it is a sweet sound to the Lord (IMO) undecided

Whoever does that needs special deliverance...

You mean in the church? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

lipsrsealed ; What's wrong with this anyway? na holy spirit dey work bro ; i only know 3 people wey fit perform this miracle - lagos boy (first timer in church), Area (my waffi bros) and nna bros (especially if he isnt expecting any container from abroad, every change is worth keeping grin; This one serious oh! shocked

Acelifted: It doesn’t bother me anymore to hear a phone ringing during a church service. It’s part of life in the 21st century. But I’ll admit I was shocked last month when I heard a ringtone while I was preaching—and a woman seated in the third row pulled her phone out of her purse and began a lengthy conversation as if she were in the waiting room of a beauty parlor.

That incident prompted me to post a question on Facebook the next day. I asked my friends to share their own stories of rudeness in church. That triggered an avalanche of pent-up frustration about crinkly peppermint wrappers, loud music, smelly feet (yes, someone took off their shoes during the service), unruly children, coffee-sipping saints and parishioners who try to finish their pastors’ sentences during sermons.

When I tallied the responses, I came up with this list of the rudest things people do in church:

1. Talking during a service.

2. Texting or surfing the web during a service. (One person mentioned seeing people playing video games on their phones.)

3. Sleeping—or snoring!—during a sermon.

4. Clipping fingernails during church. (I was amazed at how many people listed this offense. One person said his church’s sound technician clipped his nails routinely during the sermon, and it was amplified over the loud speaker.)

5. Answering a ringing phone in church.

6. Constantly getting up and leaving the auditorium, presumably to use the restroom.

7. Walking out of a service early, especially during a prayer.

8. Letting babies cry incessantly in the service.

9. Chewing or smacking gum. (One friend from Puerto Rico said he is particularly annoyed when people “chew gum like a goat.”)

10. Public display of affection. (One person complained about a man and wife who enjoy giving each other back rubs during worship.)

Those were the most common replies. Other infractions mentioned in my unscientific poll included (1) “Pushing people to the floor while praying for them”; (2) “Saying ‘Amen’ 100 times during the sermon”; (3) “Taking change from the offering plate”; (4) “Swearing in church” (I didn’t ask for the details on that!); and (5) “Drinking beverages during the entire service.”

But as I mused over these replies, I couldn’t help but wonder: What does God consider rude?

I don’t think He’s too annoyed by crying babies or rambunctious children. Nor do I think God is offended if a husband and wife get slightly cozy in church. And surely God has compassion for a person whose tiny bladder forces them to go to the restroom more often than everyone else. Some of us just need to lighten up and extend grace to latecomers, fidgety kids, teeth-grinders, young mothers with infants and people who have to report to work promptly at 1 p.m.

But when I look at the Bible, it’s obvious God doesn’t like it when people refuse to focus their attention when He’s talking. He has called us to listen. Moses told the Hebrews they would be blessed if they listened to God’s commandments (Deut. 11:27, NASB). Solomon said that when we come to God’s house we should “draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools” (Eccl. 5:1, emphasis added).

Isaiah said that God awakened him “to listen as a disciple” (Isa. 50:4, emphasis added), while Jeremiah rebuked Israel because they “did not listen or incline their ears” (Jer. 17:23, emphasis added). And when Jesus was glorified in His transfiguration, the Father declared, “Listen to Him!” (Luke 9:35, emphasis added). There is no possible way we can please God or be His faithful followers if we don’t learn to listen.

Yet today we live in a distracted culture. We are sleep-deprived multitaskers. We surf the web while we watch TV; we text while we drive; we tweet while we work; we take calls when we are meeting friends for conversation. Some people even crash into each other while walking on sidewalks because they are too busy Googling to see another distracted Googler headed straight toward them.

We are so focused on everything that we can’t focus on anything. I sometimes wonder if the proliferation of fast food, sugary drinks, movies on demand, “smart” phones and 24-hour news isn’t rewiring our brains so we can’t focus on what’s really important. We’re turning into media zombies.

I’m not bashing technology. But we could lose the art of discipleship if we don’t reclaim the habit of careful listening. That means when we come to church, especially, we should not just turn off our phones but also tune out all other distractions so we can focus on what God is saying to us—through the preacher, the worship songs, the prayers and the Holy Spirit’s still, small voice.

Please don’t be rude to God. Don’t just go to church. Go and hear the word of the Lord. Don’t talk, text, sleep or take calls when He is speaking. Listen as if your life depended on it
Make I nor collect my change from the offering because na them work the money for me. Nonsense post

Re: Rude Things People Do In Church by bokohalal(m): 6:39pm On Jul 07, 2013
God could be annoyed because of your misdemeanors in church?
I tell you,the guy will be so redfaced that he will go take a piss and shit in the toilet,no latrine,(there was no WC when they were writing the bible) and then leave you all alone and go to sleep until the angels wake him up with hallelluyah trumpets in the morning.
