Strange Churches by qblaze(m): 1:20pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
It seems that Nigerian churches have run out of names. Last Tuesday, I went to check out a house in Isolo and I saw a church with the following name, Bosom of Errors Eradication Ministry and Refinery, BREEMAR. The church was sited close to a shallow river and it got me thinking, "Aren't Nigerian 'pastors' going too far?" |

What exactly is 'too far' about the idea of BREEMAR? Is it the verbosity of the name? It looks like what Yomi Adegboye is trying to do with his website. |

qblaze: Another business centre masquerading as a church Apostle paul already warned us against poliferation of the church. 1 Corinthians 1:10-17: Divisions in the Church 10 I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 11 For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters. 12 Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not! 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 for now no one can say they were baptized in my name. 16 (Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don’t remember baptizing anyone else.) 17 For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News—and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power. |
