Next FEBRUARY will make it my 13years Anniversary of staying away from Church and its related activities.
Join me as I mark such an adorable feat.

I prefer teaching my KIDS, standard Morals than enrolling them into "speaking in tongues" classes which they completely know nothing about.
CHURCH isn't the only place wia morals can be taught.
In Fact the teaching of MORALS usually stems from the home and the way we do things.
AFRICAN TRADITIONAL HOMES were birthed on morals even before the WHITES came.
KIDS respected their parents and assisted.
WIVES honoured their husbands.
Husbands were really heads and not now.

Peace brother. Not been to one since 1994. I am Far from righteous but strive everyday to live by a moral code. Religion and morality are two separate things. If everyone lives by ethical codes we won't have the issues we have in the world today. Unfortunately we have a mass mind fixated on religion but lacking in moral values. Peace.

I think it's a Nigerian mentality. I seriously doubt if it's like that in other parts of the world

No dey use Nigerian mentality for issues like this.... Nigerians are not God..... The Bible is were the answer should be not from the mouths of people who could be wrong

religious people . That is suspicious. I have come to see many who are religious but their heart is different from the true essence of religion.

well there are those who use it has a mask and those who take it has a holy task

Not attending church is not a sin...

Attending with the wrong intension is the greatest sin...

Wrong intension as in: Flaunting that designers bags and shoes and clothes..

Flaunting your latest purchased vehicle..

Flaunting your aboki arse and boobies..

#notmyhandwriting

But those are very valid points to go to church than the main reason which is delusional.

0KNM:
I don’t think it is. But lately, I’ve realised it’s needed for spiritual growth. In this heavenly race, we need some kind of support. Hard to do it alone.

I want to really go back to church. I really do

Yes Church is supposed to be a place for spiritual/moral growth and discipline, a place for subber reflection, unfortunately majority of the churches today are not cut out for that, they are only after what they can get from you (financial benefits)......the reason the Bible talked about in Mathew 23:23b...... forgetting the most important thing and focusing on the less important things

I am 38yrs now. ..

Oh, I can’t date you without you giving me toto, but you must submit because the Bible says so. Are you maddd??

I will be praying for you sister poco.

Attending church every Sunday without modifying your lifestyle is the big sin. With technology you can easily join online service. People work and attend lectures even on Sundays.

hotplate:
seriously i think i need help, i dont know how i suddenly lost interest in going to church. there were certain timea in my life where i never missed a single sunday service but now it barely once in a month. Am not happy about it but i really don't know what to do to regenerate the intrest.

You are not alone in this bro, that zeal is no more there.

pocohantas:


I am 38yrs now. I stopped because it didn’t make sense anymore. Over the years I have realized my values and ethics were not shaped, maintained or enforced because I was religious. It was just common sense and my conscience at work. Most importantly I hate hypocrites and selective adherents that makeup churches. Oh, I can’t date you without you giving me toto, but you must submit because the Bible says so. Are you maddd??

Really ! you ask them to wait till wedding nite becos the bible says so buh you want men to spend the money your daddy can spend on you. o tii ya weyre

Exactly why I’ve kept myself out of the church for many years. Wish I can find a great one around me

Franzinni:
Jesus no ever go church

And if the meaning of Christian is Christ like then ...wetin I dey find for church?
Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren I hear you think as you prepare to comment ...

Naow Hold up!

Educate your self and read about the

First council of nicaea



I get direct line to God ...Jesus papa and my papa too

All those who will come and mention let me ask you one question have you ever read the bible by yourself from cover to cover ? If no then do that first before you mention me ...

Your points are very logical but permit me to say that Jesus Christ did went to Church(Temple/Synagogue) though it wasn't known as church then.

He was a Jew, who worshipped Judaism Faith, and believed so much in the Torah (Book of Abraham).

You remembered Him reasoning/arguing with the elders in one of the book of the gospel, that he stayed back in the temple when His parents took him to the Synagogue in Jerusalem?

He did attended Church but not in the way people have made it seem these days.

No.



Next?

For the fact you have realized shows that your problem is half solved already. Go back to your Church, rededicate your life to Christ and join one of the departments, where you will be accountable to one another.

This shall certainly go a long way to reposition your life in many ways. I used to be like you, so this is practically what I did and my story hasn't remained the same.

your brain has been dogmatised; free it!

Its not, next pls

cfree14:
So today(Sunday) I decided to stay at home because of yesterday's wedding I attended. Not that I don't go to church but I came back home yesterday feeling very tired, even till this morning.

A neighbour saw me this morning and was like "Bros, you no go church today?" I tried to make him understand why but he kept on telling me how it's wrong not to go to church and stuff.

So the question on my mind today is, why do people tag others who "miss" Sunday service as sinners?

It's simple. The truth is that somehow lukewarmness and backsliding might be gradually gaining momentum over u.

Let's say today was your working day, be sincere, would u have stayed home just because u attended a wedding yesterday??


Even the Bible asked us not to forsake the assembling of the brethren as the manner of some is.....


Pls don't be like them. God bless you

BlueAngel444:

So u now dropped some tasking lines for us the rappers so we don't be asking lies in millions of tongues when we spiting

showafrica:


Person go go church, you look front big nyash protuding directly at you, you look back big breasts pointing wickedly at you.. Sideways fresh laps designing the chairs, you will wonder waiting carry you come here.

A girl was dancing in front of me last Sunday...I just couldn't raise my head

What if I chose attend weekly service only?

Na u get him time.

Remember we once lived without religions in Nigeria and most parts of Africa. let's say in the 18th century backward.

queengift:



You are not alone in this bro, that zeal is no more there.

I can't remember the last time I went to church...

No, it's not. There is no law againat such and if there was any, Christ already fufilled that. However it's necessary to attend church services so you can grow spiritually and so the devil doesn't creep back into your life seeing you are not growing and have nothing to counter or resist him.
Go so you won't find yourself going back into the world.

Shalom.

CamusMidas:

It's called church, chief...
Not club

TruthSeeker1:

What should the "right intention" be for going to church?

The right intentions are very straight forward..

Church is a place where you seek the face of the almighty.
A place for worship and prayers..
You can't have the mentality of showcasing whatever that you've got other than your heart and the entirety of your whole being..
Capisce!!

Omoluabi16:
I will be praying for you sister poco.

Lol. Why na?

I hope you are not like that too? I have met just one 100% upright christian man in my 38yrs on earth. Just 1... I can never forget him.

sochey:

No hypocrisy for club oh, but enter church.

It is not a sin. I even stay in my house most Sundays. Nigerians has made it look like a taboo.

What is most important is your relationship with God
