"Death is not a topic we enjoy. Death of churches is not a topic I enjoy," "You see, I love the local church. I love it despite it's flaws, sins, and hypocrisies. Jesus loves me despite my flaws, sins, and hypocrisies."

Sadly, too many churches are dying today. As a concerned Christian, there are need to share with congregations what they must avoid being to be able to survive.

The Ex-Bible Church

The first type of churches doomed to fail is the ex-Bible church. "These churches have abandoned the truths of the Scripture. A few are explicit in their denials. But many just give lip service to the Bible,".

Congregations belonging to ex-Bible churches do not study Scripture, and those pastors do not handle biblical texts. Sadly, the Word of God has no power in this kind of churches.

Dress and Appearance

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? … The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1 Corinthians 3:16–17.

Many churches today will say, "Well, God looks on the heart. God doesn't care what you look like on the outside. God just looks on the heart." That is true. God does look on the heart, but man cannot see the heart. Man can only see the outer. Not only that, the outer appearance is usually a pretty good indicator of what is in a person's heart. Although it is possible to look right on the outside and be wrong on the inside, it is well nigh impossible to look right on the outside and be right on the inside. What is on the outside comes from the inside. That is why Jesus said, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" (Matthew 12:34). Granted, a man could say the right things, and have a wrong heart, but a man who had a right heart would never say the wrong things. So the outer appearance is the only indicator that man has that someone is right with God, right in their heart. So God does care how we look. Not only does God care how we look, there are rules in the Bible for both men and women that should govern our appearance.

Now, whenever you start to talking about these rules, the women are always the first ones to complain, because there are more rules for the women than there are for the men. And I often wonder why the Bible has all these rules for the women and very few rules for the men, and the reason why is because men and women are made differently. I know that is not a "politically correct" thing to say, but it is none the less true. God made man and women differently.

Men are stimulated by sight. This is why Jesus told the men of His day, "whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). Men are stimulated by sight. Men are always attracted to a lady, physically, before they are connected to her emotionally. In fact, they don't even want to pursue the possibility of an emotional relationship, if the physical attraction isn't there.

Club Church

Members in these churches see their membership as perks and privileges. They want their styles of music, their worship service times, their types of architecture, and their preferred lengths of sermons. They pay their dues, so they should get their benefits."

Bad Words

These are the churches where bullies go unchecked, where personnel committees and boards work in darkness, and where gossip and backstabbing are common. These churches expend most of their energy on bad words. They thus don't have the time or energy to share the good news.

Churches That Fail to Forgive

Members in the church often turn to the Pastor for prayer, advice, and comfort when facing a divorce. They are shocked when the prayer, advice, and comfort are not forthcoming. Instead they receive a shunning from the Pastor and other members of the church. Thinking the situation will improve they stay a while longer but are eventually forced to leave by the social pressures applied. In other cases they are directly told to attend some other church.

The Bible clearly teaches that the Spirit-filled Christian can at times succumb to temptation and fall short. The truth is that every born again Christian still has sins of pride, coveting, dishonesty, etc. Repentance should be accepted by the Pastor, but much of the time it is not. The Pastor simply asks the member to leave. This is strictly contrary to Scripture. God's warning to Pastors is very clear.

JAMES 3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

My hope and prayer is that God should deliver these churches from their "death throes," too many churches are already dying.

I had to rethink opening this topic, but the urge to share my feelings and the need to know am not alone on this issue took the better side of me, so here we are...

I recently had an encounter with a 42yr old lady and it changed my perception about older women, ever since I can't stop having a conversation with one or flirting with one whenever the opportunity presents itself.... And here are some of observations about them.

1. They like to see themselves younger than they actually here.

2. When relating with them avoid over expression of respect, "ma", "aunty" or other phrases shouldn't be over used, show respect on low key

3. Talk to them just as you would talk to your GF, just because they got older doesn't mean they have become a grandma, under that age is the same young girl.

4. They grave attention more than a under 25, this may sound untrue, but it actually is the truth, a lady once said to me "it feels good to be noticed".

I wish I could go on, did I mention they have this touch of elegance? I just hope I am not alone with such admiration for older women?

My female friends have no sense of humor,I can't seem to understand, is it that God forgot to add sense of humor to the female specie?.........even when they try to be funny,they laugh alone and look weird!!



If you see a guy laffing at what a girl said,he is planning to fvcck her

marvelck:
Some people usually use loneliness as an excuse to indulge in sex or cheat on their boyfriends, or girlfriends especially if they are in a long distance relationship. A lot of girls say sex at times help take care of their emotional needs. Since they are vulnerable and fragile, fighting such temptation is usually tough for them especially if their boo is far away from them. Imagine that kind talk. To me, loneliness is not an excuse for cheating. A cheat is a cheat. Most girls or guys that cheat on their partners are sex freaks....who can't do without sex or hold body for a long time. Thats just it.

iLegend™ English PUNCTUATION Thread

I have gotten lots of compliments on my writing style. I appreciate.

Sometimes, when I reread my posts, I see some autocorrect spelling errors and some erroneously punctuated lines. I laugh and immediately correct them. No one is perfect. Mistake are bound to be made. All my articles or epistles are written via phone and you know how tiring it can be.

So, this thread is about one of my secrets. I'm not an authority in English, and I hate reading Grammar Rules, but I love Good Punctuations.

I'll only post pictures of all punctuation rules. It's American style of punctuation, but it's similar to British English, so don't worry.

Each day, I'll post two screenshots of the excerpt of the book. (Please, no one should ask me to send any book). Buy it from the author — I don't have it, and even if I do, I won't send it. It's been more than 6 years I read the book — maybe, this will be a revision for me).

Abusive relationships can be physical, emotional, or both. They're very difficult to get out of, often because the abuser has controlled and brainwashed the victim to feel powerless.

Abusive relationships don't always mean a man abusing a woman. There are plenty of unstable and abusive women out there, as well. Abusive girlfriends and wives are underreported because some of the male victims are too ashamed to report it.

Please don't believe that you are not being abused just because your abuser has never hit you.
Insulting you, constantly finding fault with you, and correcting you in public or private are all abusive behaviors designed to destroy your self-confidence and maintain control over you. You don't know that it won't escalate into physical violence.

Many victims think nobody will believe they're being abused because in public the abuser is sweet and charming in public, the police, a doctor, or a counselor will believe you because they see it all the time. 

The most important thing to remember is that it's not your fault. Abusers are expert manipulators. They know that everyone has insecurities and they use use those insecurities against you. Abusers can convince you that you don't deserve better treatment or that they are treating you this way to "help" you. 

10 warning signs to look for to avoid an abusive relationship or get out of one.

1. Declaring love for you on your first date
Love at first sight may sound romantic, but someone who's totally in love on the first date usually become dangerous later on. Emotionally stable people take time to get to know you. Abusers are trying to sweep you off your feet before you have a chance to evaluate them.

2. Cutting you off from friends and family
This can happen so slowly that you almost don't notice it. An abuser knows that friends and family aren't as emotionally invested in this relationship as you are and will try to talk you out of it. The objective is to make you feel alone and dependent on your abuser. He makes excuse always whenever theres something involving the gathering of friends or family such as family get together, end of the year parties, because when you goto such gatherings they might ask you about your marriage and you might say something.


3. Tracking your every move and behaving like he owns you.
Your privacy will be eroded little by little. The abuser reads your email, checks your phone, goes through your drawers, handbag, wallet and pockets. An abuser calls you constantly when you are not home, "just checking in."
If you are not living together, an abuser will drive by your house at all hours or "just stop by" several times. Woe to you if you're out of reach or are having lunch with a friend. You are not even allowed to hangout in public its like they own you.

4. Threatening suicide
This is an old trick abusers use to keep you in line. Abusers value themselves way too highly to let you go that easily. They are very good at faking suicide by nicking the veins just enough or taking just enough pills to scare you into obedience.

5. Inflicting pain
This is what most abusers do, most Nigerian men beat thier wives.
Hitting, pushing, pinching, or squeezing you, usually leaving marks than clothes can cover, is just the beginning. This is to let you know who's boss. It's one of the biggest warning signs that you should get out.
If you put up with it, your abuser will become confident that you are not going to report bigger things. The more the abuser gets away with, the more violence will escalate.

6. Blaming you for everything
Everything that goes wrong, in or out of the relationship, is because of you. Abusers all use a variant of the same old line: "I wouldn't have to do this if you didn't provoke me into it."
It's amazing how many abuse victims believe this, making excuses for the abuser, such as "he really loves me" or "he just wants to help me improve myself."

7. Always "forgiving" you
After abusing you, and especially after escalating the abuse, your abuser is sweet and light, full of tears, apologies, gifts, special dinners or a night out, self-recrimination, swearing to do better and telling you how much he loves you and how it will never happen again. This is one of the abuser's most effective manipulations.
Abusers are very good actors, some of them going as far as swearing to seek help. You're going to wait a long time for that to happen. 

8. Throwing tantrums
These are not only designed to scare you, but an abuser really does have anger issues. Don't feel that you need to "help" an abuser get over this because you can't. These people need more help than you are qualified to provide.

9. Controlling your finances
An abuser insists that you quit your job, talks you into a joint checking account, or into closing your bank accounts and credit cards because "he will take care of you." An abuser insists on knowing how to access your accounts. He gives you an allowance, as if you were a child. This is all part of making sure that you can't afford to leave.

10. Threatening your children 
If an abuser threatens your children in any way, or even implies a threat, you must get you and your kids out. Don't tell yourself that he doesn't really mean it.

Don't wait to leave because you're still in love. Those feelings are going to cling, sometimes no matter how badly you were abused. You're going to hang on to the memories of the good times before the abuse started. But, staying in this relationship is going to kill you, one way or another. It will never be the way it was "before."
