Many churches (including the one I worship) go through periods of time where people begin showing up to services late. I believe
there are no excuses for getting late to any appointment, and less excuses if the appointment is to visit the house of God.

Well, I'm not exempted from this but I personally hate going late to church and I think the whole idea of it is silly. I am amazed at the number of people who arrive late and it's the same people every time!

10 Type Of People Who Are Consistently Late For Church Service

The truth is bitter they say

Where do you belong ?

1. Those Who Are Late For everything

Some people are late because they’re just really bad at being on time. They’re late to everything: doctor appointments, their own wedding , and work (just name it). I don’t know if there’s any hope for these people.


2. Those Who Are Never Ashamed For Ever Being Late
They are already used to it and are never ashamed coming late for church services. You will see them confidently bounce into the church. Some will even come late and start shaking hands greeting those involved in the same act as if their presence demand royal attention.

3. Those Who Have Little Regard For God
Speaking of those who walk into
church late. Not everyone gets stuck in traffic or woke up late. If the church. and God Himself is so important to you, there
is no reason to consistently walk in late. In fact, if going somewhere to worship God is
important, then people should arrive early. It seems completely disrespectful to me when people walk into the auditorium 1 or 2 hours into the service.

4 Those Who Think They Have Little Or No Problem
Some people believe that those who are poor and in need of money, success, prosperity and material things often go to church early to make their supplication to God. Therefore, they attend church service late because they are comfortable with their finance, situation and everything that surround them

5. Because They Want To Skip The Worship.
They don’t want to have to stand there and sing the songs. They’d rather take their time getting to church and get there after the singing is over, and be in time for the sermon. They see the time of singing together as being optional and unimportant. I know that in many churches the pastor isn’t even in the room during the singing. He shows up 30 minutes later when he appears on stage to preach. This sends a message to the congregation that the singing is something that can be skipped.

6 Those Who Spend More Time Wearing Make-up
It often takes much longer for these ones to get dressed than anticipated (especially for the ladies). They will spend time applying make-up and other perishable parameters as if they are going for beauty peagent and before you know it, they are late for church


7. Those Who Have No Reason For Being Late
It is a strange phenomenon. People who are never late for work, school, interview will saunter in 10 minutes to the end of the service and think nothing of it. They don't think the habit of being late for church is a big deal

8. Those Who Give Excuse For Everything
My guess is, an average consistent late comer is someone who gives excuse for failure, lateness (just name it). They will give excuse just to suit the listener. These people will always have a reason to justify their lateness. E.g, I was busy pressing my clothes, I got dressed on time but couldn't find my Bible and so on and so forth


9 Those Who Are Probably Not In Any Kind Of Spiritual Condition To Worship Or Hear The Message
My guess is that if you are consistently coming late for service, you are probably not in any kind of spiritual condition to worship or hear the message. The sermon aint touching you, praise song rendered to God has little or no meaning to your hearing


10. Those Who Are Not Prepared For Anything
These people are never prepare for anything, they are never prepare for church services, lectures, interviews and so on and so forth

I hear you...i hate coming to church late. When you walk in,all eyes would be feasted on you. Makes me uncomfortable.

Null and void.

Church attendance is not compulsory, going late is more to do with the Pastor's ego than GOD because God is available 24/7.

Stop putting heavy burdens on Gods people.
