You're asking for godly character outside of church instead of inside church.
Yes because inside church everyone is of thier best behaviour, so all I see are snakes in sheep clothing's.

outside church most of them have very ugly persona!
I don't judge people by what they say anymore,i judge them by what they dosmiley

You can say a whole lot of things but will never have the flair to act on it. Talk is cheap!

1. ■ Constant lateness to church services and meetings. It proves that your love for God and the things of the Kingdom has grown cold. Wake up before it is too late.

2.■ Refusing to sit where the ushers direct you to sit, it's a sign of pride. Stop it.

3. ■ Always running out to pick calls with your phone ringing out so loud. Switch off or mute your phone as soon you get to church.��‍♀�

2. ■ Receiving calls repeatedly during every church services. It shows where your heart, your values and priorities are. Stop it.�

5. ■ Chewing gum or sleeping in church during sermon. Remember the church is neither a cinema hall nor a hotel. Please show reverence to your maker.����‍♀

6. ■ Sitting down during prayer or praise/worship session without any medical or health reasons. This makes you look very odd and unspiritual. Stop it.��‍♂

7. ■ Always looking at the church clock or your wrist watch during church hours insinuating that church should close. Please stop it.⌚�

8. ■ Chatting and playing games on your phone during church service. It shows you are not spiritual. Please stop it.���

9. ■ Always leaving the church before closure for no particular appointment, making others who choose to stay till the end of service feel they don't know what to do with their time. Stop it.�‍♀��

10. ■ Gathering outside the church with other members to gossip or discuss football and politics whilst worship service is going on. Stop it.�‍♂

Wake up people of God.
The King of Kings is coming soon.
God bless you.

only number 2 is valid .The rest is done because the pastor doesn't have any anointing .he only talk and talk and talk without visible evidence of the holy spirit in deliverance,healing ,salvation ,etc.so people end up doing such things .

Very well said OP.

There should be utmost respect for the sanctity of the church.

But the 'switching off' the phone part will be difficult you know. Most people now, don't carry Bibles again. Mobile Bible is the in thing for them.

that is why the flight mode is there.

Refusing to sit where ushers direct you doesn't mean you are proud... It's the house of The Lord not the ushers house.
You can sit wherever you want,wherever you are comfortable...

As an introvert, I hate front seats so when usher trys to usher me to the front I decline and take a seat @d back...
Doesn't mean I'm proud

I agree with the rest.
The house of God should be organized despite your emotions

Totally! I particularly try to avoid sitting close to the speakers, either front or back. I hate noise and can't be going home with headache weekly grin

Church is just a building, like PUBs, Restuarants, Hotels, Nightclubs, Supermarkets and Shopping malls.

Just Do what da hell you want in the Church, If the crooked pastor don't like it go to Another church, Afterall Churches are now Business, the thieving pastor is the one who will lose customers.

It's not ours, let's find ourselves
We should embrace what is good, The foreigners you referred to served God(practiced Christianity) and your forefathers worshipped idol(((Africans)
Today the foreigners has prospered beyond measure while you (African) still remain behind.
The little we have achieved is as a result of is presence..

The one I really advocate for is avoiding lateness and answering calls.

One question comes to mind...if you were to attend a job interview or visa interview, you'll never go late. Why go late to church services...most times you only go to the church only on Sundays sef

Or if you were in a meeting with the Governor over a contract, will your phone even ring out or say you go out to answer the call, never.

God demands absolute reverence.....there's nothing so important that can't wait for 2-3hrs for church service to end

It has a bearing because your attitude needs adjusting, you shouldn't be straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.

Just saying.

Making money is different from going to church.

How many times do I have to say this?


When you make the money and splash it in church, is everyone not happier than when you beg them for crumbs and are always the first to warm the seats every sunday?

It's not those that come late that are ushered to the front seats rather those that come early. Most churches like grandstanding and so would do all that is possible to fill up the front row seats before they begin live transmission of the service on social media cheesy


It's called packaging grin

Avert your gaze, open your bible and read something.

Face front, look at the pastor.

Check out the church decor, this is where interior design comes in.

Ushers are fond of reserving the front seats and other comfortable positions for well dressed members, not minding that there are people who were in church earlier. God is not respecter of man and such should be strictly discouraged.. I went to church late today to church, the church was filled up and an usher beckoned on me to take me for a seat in the front.
I declined for the reason that if am late to church, I should seat behind...

There's something called 'orderliness' you know

You're right about the fact that it's God's house not the usher's house. But, it wasn't God that came down physically to arrange the chairs. People can't just sit anywhere they feel like. That's not order.

You said you are an introvert, Even in the presence of your maker? Anyways, God bless you.
