Always learn to appreciate other people's view of life, nothing like silly reasons. Religion and worship is base on personal conviction. How has going to church reduce crime rate and atrocities in our society? I could choose not to go to church is nobody's business, even if I will go to hell fire will you accompany me?

Yes you said it

Lordcenturion2:
We africans just need to abandoned this religion things and develop our countries and continent like China and Asia,how long are we going wait for some gods to come make it like a paradise, we can't just continue like this, it has to stop,people around the world are mocking us, calling our continent a dark continent, they are the one that puts this plague on us yet they are rejecting us, mocking us,our great great great grandparents lives their lives nicely before the colonial master and religions came,we just need to focus on how to develop our nations,white people or any gods can't come and develop it for us,for how long we are going to do this?, especially my country. Unhmmmm, we are aging and this thing remains the same, even getting worst everyday. Let think. What is the essence of worshipping when there is no improvement in our nation. Honestly I still don't know the reason why people are still going to the places of worship. All continents has been developed, people are developing their continents only Africa are left behind, Let think.

Well called our country/continent a zoo and hell, yet we are the one that makes it like that, not the land itself or weather, In far distant future if am still alive and incase things get worst than this, am gonna say "I said my own"

Oluwamuyeewa:

holatin:

Is that forbidden?

[quote author=Calismart post=58740918]I have observed that some people no longer go to church these days due to one silly reason or the other.

Sundays are for rest,yes but you must keep this day holy by going to church and abstaining from certain works.

According to my observation,these are some reasons why people don't go to Church on Sundays these days.

1.They Don't Have Offering Money

It is so right that you should give offering when you go to church but because there is no money on you should not stop you from going.

People has formed the habit of staying at home especially on days of donations or project sundays.This is not good at all.
Endeavour to go to church even if you don't have any money for offering or donations.


2. They Don't Have Any New Clothes

This mostly applies to the ladies.
Ladies don't pick offence here but i am talking based on what i am seeing.

What happened to the ones you have?
Put them on and go to Church,for it is not a place of beauty pageant.
You are going there to worship your God and not to showcase your clothes and fashion.

I remember a novel i read in secondary school 'Without A Silver Spoon'.
The boy,though i have forgotten his name,had no clothes for Church so he wore his School white and shorts to church on sundays.

The pastor or reverend won't chase you out for not wearing new clothes.

3. A Little Rainfall

I must admit it,i am a victim of this.
Just like this morning.It was raining.My brother was preparing for church but i was just in bed wondering whether to join him or no .
I later did and before i knew it the rain stopped.

I remember our reverend saying one day that if you don't come to Church because of rain,it means you didn't want to come.

You can get an umbrella or if the rainfall is not what an umbrella can handle,make sure you attend another service session that day.


4. Church Is In The Mind
This one annoys me the most.

Some people will say its not a must to go to church every sunday.When you ask them why,they tell you that Church is in the mind.

They always claim to be better than those that sleep in the Church everyday.


4. Midnight Calls And Browsing.

Some people will just stay up throughout the night making calls and browsing but when its time to go to church in the morning,they can't get up again.

There is God o.

You can add yours.


What we have now is no more church but house of money, 10000 naira is no more enough for me on a Sunday service because before you know what is happening the pastor will gamble away all the money in your pocket and you will go back empty handed

Lordcenturion2:



Mr man, type "China" on Google and see how many people are religious, religions is the last thing in Chinese people's life, go and enlighten yourself Bro,I know that you are fighting for your pocket to gain more followers, but please can you tell me the reason why u are going to church exactly?, please tell me apart from serving your god, giv me more reasons

China? That has 5 recognized religion?
Asia? Saudi Arabia? North Korea? Qatar? Israel? Wat is this one talking about exactly? Asia is synonymous with religion. It's even better in Africa where u have religious freedom, go to Saudi or Iran and make this ur comment that religion is the reason for backwardness and see if ur head won't go off in 24hrs

Fighting for my pocket? I don't do all those poo. why I go to church? Is it the reason Nigeria or Africa is not moving forward?
I guess u are a bit confused. Before u try to claim wisdom, do a little research so as not to disgrace urself in public

dionysus7:
if i go to church today to pray that this coming week, i want to get at least one employment letter from all the organizations i've sent applications to, and say i got at least one letter like i prayed for, believe me you would see me in church the following week to pray for something else seeing that the good lord above is living up to his expectation of omnipotent and the likes. But the prayer wasn't answered, probably it wasnt the right time for me because even though he is omnipotent, he couldnt have made it work for me anyways, so, the prayer wasnt answered. Now imagine this trend going on week in week out...i wouldnt be motivated to go to church i dont know if you (OP) would. The reasons you mentioned even though silly are just so people dont come off blasphemous so they dont appear to be politically incorrect. People are just beginning to realize prayer fixes nothing, you want sh!t done, you get off your @ss and do something about it other than just wasting valuable time appealing to someone who is probably on an eternal nap

Dear prayer works.
Its not only when you go to church on sunday to pray that God will answer.
You can pray about it even on your bed.

Ammend your ways if they are not ok,pray sincerely to God and believe.
prayer changes things

We are tired of listening to the same sermon every sunday

You have nothing tangible to say, just shut up and don't quote me again

If you are a Christian you wouldnt say this.So i doubt if you are.My Observation tho.

God is not sleeping.God is alive.

And its a wrong mindset to just keep asking and asking God to do one or two things for you.
After he does it,you ask and ask again.

If you have a friend that keeps asking and asking without appreciating or even giving you,what would you do.

Sometimes we just need to drop asking and asking and do just praising,worshipping and adoring

U re welcome bro. for those who don't understand that is his way of saying I bow. My one kobo advice, don't make it a habit of duplicating people's opinion do ur own research.

Guilty of 5 and 4 until I found a church that start service 11am.

helinues:
So op na church u dey wey u dey post this?

Na as i come back from church i just write am.
5.30am mass

one other reason some people don't go to church is because of politics and instigation of the followers by pastors as is being done by pastor Suleiman wherein he was urging followers to kill Fulani people

friday2011:
OP, abeg na for church u dey, dey type ur post or what, I dey refer to ur no. 3 point oooo, u say d rain dey shawa, and d tin no wan allow u go Church, but d tin don stop and u dey church, meaning na for church u dey, dey send dis ur post, u for just sidown for house naa, cos I wonder how wetin pastor dey preach go take enter ur head.

PotatoSalad:
I have offering money.
I have plenty of New clothes
it didn't rain this morning.
I browsed till 2:30am, woke up early though.
thing is, Mind is willing but the body is weak. 4 weeks in 042, i don't even know where the church is.
Lord have mercy.
My spiritual life is like London bridge.. it's falling, falling down.

Come make i pray for you. lol
God's power fall on you

church doesn't matter,some evil men do use Church to cover up their evil deeds so to be righteous is better than going to Church.
