I never said that fornication is good. But you are taking the topic out of context. God does not say that certain actions should make some people to be prohibited from working in the Church. This is why the Bible, instead of saying that certain people should not come to God or call God's name, simply says that not all who call the God's name or do miracle in God's name will enter heaven. You are going contrary to that scriptural statement when you say that it is wrong for fornicators to work in the church. Your logic is the same as the mentality of those who tried to condemn Jesus Christ for eating in the house of sinners. Are you wiser than God? Or, are you more correct than the Bible?

The church will look clean when cleaned, whether the cleaning was done by a righteous person or by a sinner. This is also why God does not withdraw his gift from a sinner. If you have the gift of healing, that gift will continue to be active in you even if you start fornicating. But that gift will not give your soul salvation when you are fornicating. So, fornication cannot stop the gift from working but can stop your salvation. This applies to every form of sin, not only fornication.

Living in sin can prevent salvation of the soul but does not prevent the sinner from working in the church.

Righteousness is about salvation of the soul. The Bible does not say anywhere that a sinner should not be allowed to work in the church. So, what exactly is your point?

A sinner may work in the church casually when general announcement is made for church members, such as coming to do general church sanitation, assisting with general physical labours for members; but to be a dedicated worker, climbing the pulpit as a dedicated worker, being in the choir as a dedicated worker, ushering as a dedicated worker, teaching and preaching as a dedicated worker, being in church department as a dedicated worker; yet living consistently as a fornicator is not good.

1.
"Fornicating" and "serving God faithfully" cannot be in one sentence unless you are not talking about the same person.

2.
Struggling with sin does not mean one should withdraw from serving God. While struggling to abstain from sin, don't hesitate to do your best in serving God. You can be fornicating because you are yet to be able to resist sexual urge. But it does not mean that you should not do whatever you can do to the glory of God.

3.
A fornicator that works in the church while admitting that fornication is a sin is actually trying to serve God faithfully. But a fornicator that works in the church and claims that fornication is not a sin is a hypocrite.

If someone fornicates by mistake, it is different from someone fornicating as a lifestyle. God is not forcing anyone to serve Him faithfully in church work, and He doesnt want pollution done to His works.
You may do things low-key as a normal member. But to be committed to deep service/church work while living in fornication is wrong.

Serve God, but do it in the right way.

It is better to be a sincere benchwarmer in church than to be fornicating while still being active and faithful as an usher, pastor, choir member, protocol, prayer warrior, greeters, in sanitation unit e.t.c.

You shouldn't be an active fornicator and an active worker in church. And it is wrong to have a steady sugar daddy while still being committed in church work.

Spend quality time in not deceiving yourself.

Repentance is a change of old sinful lifestyle into a life of Godliness.

Going for altar call is one of the methods of identifying yourself as a sinner or backslider in need of repentance. It is not a way to bribe God or to pacify your guilty conscience, but an act for the purpose of repenting from sin.

If you have committed terrible sins & you are feeling so guilty, going for altar call is not a way of looking for how to make your conscience feel alright & then go back to sin after pacifying your conscience. Repentance is a change of lifestyle that is aided by the HolySpirit.

You should be determined to repent when going for altar call. After repentance, you are to stop your old evil ways, apologize & make peace with those you may have offended, study your bible regularly, pray always, attend a bible-believing church, serve God faithfully.

Make sure you do not die without making peace with God.

Do you know singing, anointing, power, good preaching, prayers, good church, good pastor, positive confession, impact, evangelism, crying during worship, dancing like David danced, giving, having a good heart e.t.c, are good but cannot take you to heaven if you do not have holiness attached to it?

God may overlook certain things to bless you on earth, but He will never overlook holiness when it comes to you entering heaven.

Again, God makes holiness achievable if you hunger and thirst after righteousness. But many people are not so positively desperate for righteousness and holiness. Many are comfortable with nominal, worldly and compromising christianity. Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled"

Hebrew 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord"

Let no one choose another rapture date in october.

Jesus is coming when God says so.

This boils down to ladies who may enjoy the drama of toxicity, while probably disliking peace, true love, gentility attention.

Some ladies may prefer a rough, toxic, wild, careless relationship than a good one. They may prefer such and may settle with a guy that suits that. Such a guy might make them baby Mama and may even kill them in marriage.

If in the nearest future the 9 months pregnancy of many or most ladies and their painful child birth is not celebrated with joy until DNA test is confirmed to align with the agreed father of the kid, then it is a serious issue.

Please wait until it is officially announced who the winner is.

Many people with flaws, bad character, cheating character e.t.c, will not want to marry a cheat or promiscuous person. This is not a good way to go. Some may be vehement on marrying a virgin or a God-fearing guy. You cannot be promiscuous while looking for a decent person to marry. As a promiscous person, will you like to look for a promiscuous person to marry, and then try to work on their character?

Be cautious, prayerful and careful in relationship and marriage. Get tested before you commence marriage process and if you sleep around, do not marry.

Assuming your age is taken back to 12 years ago with the same sense and experience you currently have, who will you become? I mean, if you are maybe 35, and with all the experiences, wisdom and life lessons you may have had, then your age is now made 23 years: life gives you another chance again, who will you become?

Many people who have made mistakes, had experiences, made foolish decisions, grown in wisdom e.t.c, may become the best ever.

Lesson: Be careful how you use your life. Time is going and no chance to go back in age.

When you meet that lovely woman who truly loves you, gives you attention, is not after your money, is faithful to you, is very sincere to you and is someone you like too; do not get too familiar with her. Do not misuse or abuse her love, attention e.t.c. Never see her as an object for sex. Never see her as a person for "chop-clean-mouth". You can both put sex on hold till you get married; and if you are relatively okay, you can pay her bride price and tie the knot.......
Finally, do not waste the time of such women in engagement and do not betray them. If you hurt them, you may never see someone like them again.

When last did you win any tangible money through betting? Have you not seen you have lost more than you winning? You need to stop betting today.

Sirchiboy:
I went through traumatic childhood dUE to over religious woman called mother.
A mother that worship and cherish money more than her own kids.
I have studied this world and discovered that most people that are living good life are actually non religous people.
I stopped going to church in 2006 because I had no single clothes to wear.
I was putting on one trouser every Sunday while the woman called mother will buy clothes every Sunday and still buy for her pastors wife yet her kids wear rags to church.
My life would have been much better if I was born into non relgious home.

If Government failed you, do not blame the church.

Many people may not take advice when they are young. Such advice could be: getting serious with academics, getting serious with having a fruitful relationship to get married, need to building good character, investment, avoiding bad habits, avoid wastage of money, smoking, following bad girls, following bad guys, getting stable in career, praying and fasting e.t.c. But when time has gone and age is no longer on their side, they may want to start re-adjusting and fixing their life.

Get serious with your life today.

DO DNA TEST IF POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU CAN CLEAR YOUR DOUBTS WHERE NECESSARY.

A single lady may resist more in submitting her body for sex. She may be worried about being used without commitment. Again, a lady in an unstable relationship may not want to cheat probably because she is fighting to make it stable. But many ladies may have sex outside once they are sure the relationship is a committed one and a purposeful one.

Someone passed and idea that a lady in a relationship can be easily slept with than a single lady.

Once a relationship is sure and stable, some ladies may begin to look for adventure with reckless people. Have you wondered why a lady about to get married will sleep with someone or ex few days to wedding day? That may be part of the reason.

Finally, we have many faithful ladies in relationship.

Is This Statement True About Today Relationships?

Being a criminal is not a good thing at all. It is bad.

only two games? Should he be judged with just two games?

Please state at least five good things this government is doing. Please do not bring propaganda, but just tangible things either in progress or completed by the Nigerian government..

Do not blame the failure of any government on the church. Let any failing government face the shame and not use the church's prosperity for blame game.

Is first class from UI, UNN, UNILAG, OAU, ABU, UNIBEN and old federal universities to be rated same with other schools? Is it just a thing of past glory? Are new private universities and other federal universities now better or of same status as these old ones? Do you see all first class as the same?

That is not a good approach. He shouldnt have done that.

This is not creche, nursery school, primary school or secondary school.

The babies a lady killed may be the ones crying against her and probably made her boyfriend whom she aborted for, leave her to marry another lady. It may be that he is seeing her as damaged.

Do not kill babies. Do not carry human blood.
