1. ■ Constant lateness to church services and meetings. It proves that your love for God and the things of the Kingdom has grown cold. Wake up before it is too late.

2.■ Refusing to sit where the ushers direct you to sit, it's a sign of pride. Stop it.

3. ■ Always running out to pick calls with your phone ringing out so loud. Switch off or mute your phone as soon you get to church.��‍♀�

2. ■ Receiving calls repeatedly during every church services. It shows where your heart, your values and priorities are. Stop it.�

5. ■ Chewing gum or sleeping in church during sermon. Remember the church is neither a cinema hall nor a hotel. Please show reverence to your maker.����‍♀

6. ■ Sitting down during prayer or praise/worship session without any medical or health reasons. This makes you look very odd and unspiritual. Stop it.��‍♂

7. ■ Always looking at the church clock or your wrist watch during church hours insinuating that church should close. Please stop it.⌚�

8. ■ Chatting and playing games on your phone during church service. It shows you are not spiritual. Please stop it.���

9. ■ Always leaving the church before closure for no particular appointment, making others who choose to stay till the end of service feel they don't know what to do with their time. Stop it.�‍♀��

10. ■ Gathering outside the church with other members to gossip or discuss football and politics whilst worship service is going on. Stop it.�‍♂

Wake up people of God.
The King of Kings is coming soon.
God bless you.

There is no hard and fast rule concerning positions when praying. It is the condition of the heart that should matter however, being in one accord causes the supernatural to happen... Two can't walk together unless they agree.

■ Concentrating or distracted by the grammatical correctness of the ministers.

■ Be in church only for the right reasons

■ If the sermons and lifestyles encouraged by the church is not based on eternity in view, find a living church with the leading of the Holy Spirit

Refusing to sit where ushers direct you doesn't mean you are proud... It's the house of The Lord not the ushers house.
You can sit wherever you want,wherever you are comfortable...

As an introvert, I hate front seats so when usher trys to usher me to the front I decline and take a seat @d back...
Doesn't mean I'm proud

I agree with the rest.
in all honesty there is no excuse for this. after all, the ushers are not asking you pick a mic and address the congregation, Just do as they ask.

Orderliness: 1 Corinthians 14:40

The congregation will be w/o orderliness if everyone chooses to be introvert and sit anywhere.

If you don't listen to the ushers then you are not humble.

op, let me ignore your previous vulgar behaviour and respond to your post:


UnknownJr:
1. ■ Constant lateness to church services and meetings. It proves that your love for God and the things of the Kingdom has grown cold.

Deuteronomy 11:14 - then I will send rain on your land in its season

2.■ Refusing to sit where the ushers direct you to sit, it's a sign of pride. Stop it.

Romans 14: 3,4 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

3. ■ Always running out to pick calls with your phone ringing out so loud. Switch off or mute your phone as soon you get to church.��‍♀�

Answer: remind people to switch off their phones if necessary.


2. ■ Receiving calls repeatedly during every church services. It shows where your heart, your values and priorities are. Stop it.�

Depends on what the calls are for. Leisure or work?



5. ■ Chewing gum or sleeping in church during sermon. Remember the church is neither a cinema hall nor a hotel. Please show reverence to your maker.����‍♀

Most people who chew gum in church, stop the habit sooner or later. Sleeping during sermon- not new, also not a sin.



6. ■ Sitting down during prayer or praise/worship session without any medical or health reasons. This makes you look very odd and unspiritual. Stop it.��‍♂

I dont believe this happens frequently.



7. ■ Always looking at the church clock or your wrist watch during church hours insinuating that church should close. Please stop it.⌚�

You are monitoring people too much in order to judge them instead of focusing on the service.



8. ■ Chatting and playing games on your phone during church service. It shows you are not spiritual. Please stop it.���

How often have you observed this? Pray for whoever you see doing that.

9. ■ Always leaving the church before closure for no particular appointment, making others who choose to stay till the end of service feel they don't know what to do with their time. Stop it.�‍♀��

This is a mind your own business.

10. ■ Gathering outside the church with other members to gossip or discuss football and politics whilst worship service is going on. Stop it.�‍♂


Engage them so they don't consider football and politics more interesting.

It’s painful how much activities in churches today accumulated through man made principles and practice with little or no root in the Bible. Read the Book of Acts, pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and Goerge Barna etc. you will be broken to find out that many things we hold so dearly like, gigantic church buildings and arrangements, pulpits sacramental tables, hierarchies, Baptizimal class, infant Baptism, sprinkle baptism, special cloth for Sunday service and programs, working within and out the four wall organization etc, were not part of the life of the early Church John 3:5-8. We make mistakes about what Church means, Church is Not something you can attend, Church means Ekklesia, the called out ones, the body of Christ. You can’t attend that your can only be part of it through your way of life and acting according to the commandments of God through Christ. Ecclesiastes 12:13. You can do what ever you like as religion but if you want to seek God in truth and obey His will you need to be free from sin through repentance, baptism in water and receive the HolySpirit. Acts 2:28.
