4 New Practices In Today’s Churches That Should Be Stopped by OGO32(m): 6:23pm On Sep 11, 2018
Take a minute to compare the church of the past to what we have in today’s world. What level of change do you notice? I am certain that you are bound to come across some changes that shows how far the church has veered from morality to the point of it looking as if it doesn’t belong to God anymore. Below are a few of the ones I noticed.

1. Random sitting arrangement

In the 80’s and early 90’s, churches had a very modest sitting arrangement that distinguished males from females. The males sat in the rows of seats on the right while the females sat on those on the left. This pattern was also seen in the children’s section of the church. But the same can’t be said of today’s churches. Everyone sits randomly. As a man, you can have a young lady sit beside you in church during service. That’s enough distraction especially in this crazy modern world of ours where ladies wear all sorts of skimpy and revealing attires which are now condoned by churches who choose to look the other way cos they don’t want to lose a potential tithe payer. A lady’s exposed thighs might get a guy’s mind off the sermon being preached. If he decides to go ease himself or something, he will have to squeeze through the seats while brushing his legs against the thighs of ladies, both married and unmarried. What about during dancing time? A lady seated directly in front of a guy while wiggling her waist in dance motion can cause to sin.


2. Females not covering hair in church

Nigerian churches that use to be closer to the truth in discipline have now been Americanised. Ladies are now allowed to go against the words of the Bible by not covering their hair while praying or prophesying in church. 1 Corinthians 11:13 says: “judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?”. You can read 1 Corinthians 11:3-15 for full details on women and hair covering while praying or prophesying in church. Christians boys now go to church with dreadlocks, mohican haircuts and all sorts of crazy hairstyles you can think of. No one cautions them, so they think it’s cool. Both males and females in this kind of habit have been fooled to believe that it is the content of their heart that God is after. Yes, indeed! But what content can be found in the heart of a person who wears his hair like a Rastafarian? What can be found in the heart of a lady who finds it difficult to tie a headscarf for just few hours of worship? It’s simple- pride and show off. Psalm 66:18 says “if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me”.
