Good morning And Happy Sunday,today is the Sabbath day which was to keep Holy,Wat have u done to keep this day Holy...

So many Christians of nowadays goes to church just to please others,some going to show their New cloths,Phones,Cars, forgetting that God deserve more than that in is present,Many people refuse to get near a church unless their nephew is playing the role of a sheep in the Christmas pageant! They claim they can get more out of a walk in the woods than from the typical sermon.

When you become a Christian, you are called into a relationship with God (1 Corinthians 1:9). But I John 1:3 makes it clear that we enter a fellowship that goes two ways: with God and with other Christians.

USE OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS÷I Corinthians 12 makes it clear that God has given spiritual gifts to every Christian. And verse 7 states unmistakably that these abilities are not provided to make you feel good; they are abilities to minister that should be used for the common good! I Peter 4:10 commands us to use spiritual gifts to help each other.


HELP÷The New Testament is full of “one another” commands. We are to comfort one another (I Thessalonians 4:18), build up one another (I Thessalonians 5:11), confess our sins to one another (James 5:16), pray for one another (James 5:16), and many more. How can we obey these directives if we stay away from the gathering of believers?so you have reason going to church than going to show your swags.........

ACCOUNTABILITY—God designed the church as a place where spiritual leaders could watch out for our welfare, as a shepherd guards the sheep (I Peter 5:1-4; Hebrews 13:17). A Christian who answers only to himself can easily rationalize sinful attitudes or actions; regular contact with other Christians can keep us sharp,protect and guide our decision making....

God bless you all......
Jesus did not preach about church, he preach about the kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace etc. He to He said if you want to give offering and you have offended anyone, first you go and settle with that person before youe giving the offering, meaning that offering should not come first. The church gives room for announcements, offering, praises, sermon. So no room for hearing from the needy, settle disputes etc.
The church will be at otsnbest when Holy Ghost defended upon the brethren. When the early Christians sell their belonging for then kingdom and those who try to conceal whatever from the members die instantly.
The church should be at its best when Holy Spirit is decides the preacher, the leader etc. And not by the founders. When tight and offering is used for the work of God and not for business

Olasco93:
Going to church is not a Sunday-Sunday thing, it's beyond that. Going to church should involve all the church activities/meetings one is required to be part of.
I have many reasons to go to church and so many other reasons not to go to church. But I discovered over time that the Reason to go to church outweighs the reasons not to go because "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"
These are some of my topmost reasons:
It Is What Jesus Did
Luke 14:6 says, "Jesus went back to
Nazareth, where he'd been brought up and as usual he went to the meeting place on the Sabbath."

It Is a Good Habit
Hebrews 10:25 says, "Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship. But we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer."
It Is a Positive Example
Going to church is a positive example. When you go to church, you're setting an example. You are setting an example that other people notice. It is an example that becomes an inspiration for others. People who are trying to make their lives better, people who want a positive change are going to be impacted by an
example of someone who is committed to regular church attendance. For those of you who are married, it's a positive example to your spouse. For those of you that have children, it's an absolutely positive example for your kids to know that on Sunday and other days you go to church. For the people around you, whether it's your friends or your co-workers, whether it's your family, when they see that you have a commitment that is leading you to
living a better life - that is a positive
example that other people can follow.
It Is Important for Fellowship
Look again at what the Bible says, "Do not forsake the gathering of the believers." Some have gotten out of the habit. We should not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other. The church is an encouraging place. We all need encouragement. Life is hard. Life is difficult. We all run into various kinds of challenges; health problems, financial issues, conflict within our families. We have an opportunity to encourage one another and that is part of what church is about.
It Is Essential for Growth
It is absolutely essential for spiritual
growth to regularly attend church. I have this phrase, "The service you miss is the service you need." Each service is tailored and designed to maximize your Sunday and other days worship so that you can leave with the best possible spiritual experience. You can praise and worship God and you can learn things that you didn't know before. You will be challenged. You're going to be motivated. Church is where you will be inspired to go higher than you've gone, to live a life that is godlier and greater than you've been living, to sync your life up with Jesus and His purpose and plan for your life. You will come to understand why you're here on this
earth: to serve, to give and to love. Don't come occasionally to church. Don't just come when you feel like it. Make regular church attendance a priority and let it be a good habit that becomes a part of who you are. Nothing does more for your spiritual health than regularly being in church. Being in a church service is irreplaceable. It is a moment in time and once it's gone, it's gone forever. There will always be competition for your time and other things that you could do on a service days. But these are really good reasons you should regularly attend church.
Shalom
You get time

i go to church because one needs to fellowship with the brethren , interact with people and contribute to its growth.

My personal experience, fellowship isn't happening there anymore, people just go there to pass time and act scripts.

This happens because churches have now become places for entertainment, pampering . This is increasingly becoming a hard task due to recession.

[size=16pt]Today is not Sabbath (Seventh day of the week - See Exodus 20:10). Yesterday was. Today is Sunday (First day of the week). MATTHEW 28: 1 states, "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.[/size]

what IS the difference between todays church and a social centre

What are they say in church that you haven't heard before
don't steal if not you will go to hell
Don't lie because if you do you'll go to hell
Don't fok another person's wife
Worship God
pay your tithe and offering if not you'll go to hell and so on and so forth

Even without going to church didn't your mother TELL you that as a kid

Infact the people going to church to show off are more than the people going to church to genuinely Worship God IN spirit and in truth undecided
