You forgot to add 11. Don't go for altar calls just because you want people to see that skimpy or new tight-fitted dress. So guys and ladies are always fond of doing this every Sunday. 12. Stop falling under fake anointing even when no one comes near you UnknownJr: |

I agree with 2,8 and 10 but the rest is relative and subjective unless you back it up with scripture because in different climes/occupation it may not be applicable. |

Lol, apart from praise and worship and hymns the rest of the activities is to watch church pastors preach....that's all. Remove chairs from Churches, reduce time consumed on sermons, members and elders should spend time reciting memory verses and communion. This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success......Joshua 1:8. |

Oluwatosean:there has to be orderliness in the house of God cos God is not an author of disorder and confu. Those urshers were kept there to help maintain this orderliness. About being an introvert, many people are but we end up finding a way to outgrow that. otherwise it'll affect you outside of the house of God. bless you |

I won't say Nigerian Christians but some Nairaland Christians why do you make your religion seem so weird and as if you dont require sense to practice it? See what op typed without even caring how it looks. Would people want to go to church knowing this kind of attitude is what they'll encounter there? You confuse church with bondage. You yourself won't enjoy the service because you are busy nitpicking and looking for who to jump on instead of worshipping God. Imagine the kind of bad belle and evil wishes op and some other people typed, is it not the devil speaking through you? Do you really have to be told? Deliver us from evil oh God. |

I think the few Nigerians who are intelligent, have somehow given the impression all Nigerians are intelligent. We can see that is not so. |

SoftP: Not at all. Op isn't self righteous, rather op simply spoke according to his level of knowledge. In Christianity, the deeper your knowledge, the more broad-minded you become ( 2nd Timothy 2v15). Let me cite some examples I have very delicate ears and as such I keep a safe distance from loudspeakers. True, when I make it to church minutes before the commencement of service, I get to choose any location to sit. However will I have to incur a hearing impairment all because I decided to obey the ushers and allow them place in an uncomfortable location? Judge ye. I am a medical practitioner and my phone line is expected to be active 24/7. For instance, after completing a call duty from Saturday to Sunday morning and handed over to my colleague and gotten to the church with my phone switched off. I really wonder how my colleague will be able to reach me for further clarifications on a particular patient whilst in Church. You may choose to give a wave of the hand answer but before you do, assume your relative is the patient in question for whom urgent clarification is sought. I bet you will curse me from wherever you are for switching off my phone! Mind you, I have never switched off my phone in the banking hall and I receive calls there too. Like I usually do at the petrol station and in the church, I step out to answer the phone which is usually set to vibrate while in Church. Let me stop here before this turns into an epistle. But op, please let love lead. |

nlPoster: @nlPoster, go and join DSS/FBI. If indeed what you dug up is true, then truly the internet never forgets! I have been doing a lot of thinking and one of the conclusions I have arrived at scares me deeply. The conclusion that it will be very difficult, if not extremely difficult for a Nigerian Christian to make heaven. This is a resource topic for another day. |

Re: 10 Things Christians Should Avoid In Church For Their Own Good. by nlPoster: 1:05pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
nemynely: The main issue is lack of self awareness. You (ie that person) are so bold to be boasting of your openly fornicating up and down, yet you ignore that and be monitoring other people who are even more serious about Christianity than yourself? I dont get it. My point is do you know you are not qualified to judge others? |

@ Op you made good points. But that number 2, for most people they prefer sitting at where will make them comfortable. Some usher will even ask you to sit close to loud speaker undermining the hazard. But some people are proud anyway. In their mind " who are you to instruct me on where to sit, do you know who I am"? Or," I cannot sit close to that person that dressed like a beggar". |
Re: 10 Things Christians Should Avoid In Church For Their Own Good. by nlPoster: 1:18pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
In the Nigerian setting, why exactly would you dress like a beggar to church if you dont have to? Meaning it's not like you cant afford to dress properly. And especially knowing the importance Nigerians place on your outward appearance when in church? So your good clothes are for where? Owambe? You who are talking, assuming you see someone with saggy trousers in church and halfway below the visible boxers, would you comfortably sit beside him? Discuss. |
Re: 10 Things Christians Should Avoid In Church For Their Own Good. by Nobody: 1:35pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
Oluwatosean:the usher is a worker meant to maintain decorum.... Going to sit at the back when their empty sits at the front will lead to disorderliness so its better u obey the rules in set in place in the house of God If u went to an interview to get a job and u are directed to the front would u go and stay at the back just because u are an introvert..... Pls let's reverence the things of God above men |
Re: 10 Things Christians Should Avoid In Church For Their Own Good. by nlPoster: 1:38pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
Chidorx60: Stop comparing church to job, while I have no problem with the constant insistence on where people prefer other people sit, my understanding is you are paid ie make money at a job but you are not paid to come to church. And then, being given church responsibilities doesnt have to mean "do what I say or I take offence and badmouth you" , or "yes, this is my opportunity to settle scores with that person". If you feel that way or demonstrate those traits, then you need training on what being given responsibility entails. |
Re: 10 Things Christians Should Avoid In Church For Their Own Good. by Nobody: 1:41pm On Nov 17, 2019 |
Oluwatosean: Just happened to me today, I just told the lady. No, I don't want to sit in the front. I took back seat. No big deal here. |

Well for ur information when u find ur self in the church obey the rules thereir in respect to the almighty God it is a commandments from God.....he says reverence my sanctuary |

Rubbish! After doing all this, y'all will come out on Monday and still act the same. Nigerians are quick to have God on thier lips but far away from thier heart, if most people actually exhibited Godly character off church day, I would have taken all this seriously. All these one na eye service! |
