Thanks For telling him the bitter truth, I pray the love of God finds him

Foodforthought:
Me brainwashed? You're the one who doesn't even understand Christianity. You started by saying Catholicism, is the only TRUE branch of the faith. That statement is Anti-Christ because the church he commissioned is apostles preaching the gospel of the kingdom to all men, not bowing to a statue, a direct contradiction to the first commandment. Oga go and study the scriptures for yourself not bulletin. I was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic church oga, I know more about the church than you. But I follow only Christ. Your place of worship does not matter, only your followership of Christ.

Good thing you stated "Catholic" and not "Christian" God expects us to be true Christians (Followers of Christ) and not Catholics or Protestants,.. Accept Jesus into your life and stop this denominational hatred you harbour against Pentecostal churches... This hatred was also imparted in me in Catholic catechism classes back in the days and I remember the teacher making fun of Pentecostal churches saying that such churches uses coke and bread for their holy communion, their baptism water is normal well water and not from river Jordan, the pastors rent up little shops and call them churches and all manner of filth against other denominations other than the Catholic church... All these rather than making me hate Protestant churches actually drew me closer to them and I eventually started worshiping in a Pentecostal church, I still have respect for the Catholic church, but I really feel sorry for Catholics who think they're doing God's work by hating on other Christian denominations
I come in peace

No true catholic can relate because our mode of church building never looked like a concert hall nor a night club nor a reception room

I GIVE IT TO CATHOLICS ON THIS

To backslide, according to Merriam-Webster, is "to lapse morally or in the practice of religion."

Backsliding may mean that we now spend less time studying God's Word or praying. It may mean we meet less often with brothers and sisters in the Lord, or that we look for fewer opportunities to "do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:10) Or it may mean we don't try as hard to be "an example of the believers." (I Tim. 4:12) If this is true, we need to identify a cause.

The number of hours spent reading the Bible or serving others is not necessarily an indicator of our dedication to the Lord. At times, job requirements or specific responsibilities can keep us from giving time to Christian activities, and it's not due to lukewarmness. (Remember, that in your workday obligations you can still let your light shine. "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men."

[Eph. 6:7, NIV] )
The danger is in letting earthly responsibilities or attractions become more important than the Lord. "Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (I Pet. 5:8, NIV)

In the King James Bible, the word "backsliding" is found only in the Old Testament (Hosea 14:4). But the New Testament is filled with admonitions to be careful, persevering, and fervent in our devotion to the Lord, in order to avoid going "backwards" in our Christian walk.

If we realize we have become more interested in social activities and the beckoning world around us, or if we find we are developing a coolness toward Bible study, or becoming careless about sin, we need to seek immediate help from our Heavenly Father. Any joys we might experience from worldly activities or pleasures are short-lived and disappointing. We need to ask God to forgive us for seeking comfort and happiness through the things of this world and to ask Him to renew our trust in Him and His Son and in His precious promises of the Kingdom.

The book of Hosea deals in detail with Israel's backsliding and the sorrowful consequences of it. In the last chapter Hosea instructs Israel to plead with the LORD to take away their sin; then God answers, "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him,” Hosea 14:4. If we earnestly pray to God, He will heal our backsliding as well! The process of recovery teaches us to re-ignite our love for our Heavenly Father and again to renew our complete devotion to Him.

Note: This post is slightly complicated as it might make you laugh, or get you offended, whatever be the case, please don't take it seriously.
This isn't a judgemental post, It was written to appeal to your sense of humour.

The church building is a place of fellowship for some persons, while for other persons, It's a place for other uses. We're going to list out the various kinds of people in the church and their behavior.

Below are some kinds of worshippers you meet in church on Sunday

1. The Warriors
This category consists of the persons who come to church to settle a beef with a fellow church brethren by throwing punches and chairs. They spend the day before Sunday training heavily, they engage in Krav Maga, some Spetsnaz, and special forces routine while staring at the photo of their target pinned to the wall, in front of them. They spend the whole night training till morning and On Sunday, the Warriors come to the church dressed like John Wick, they walk into the church like Roman Reigns stepping into the WWE ring, breathing like the hulk and waiting for the slightest opposition from anyone. Church workers are not also spared from their rage. they've got this "I just can't wait to be Home" attitude.

2. The Romeos
This set of persons consists of fresh-looking guys
They're in church just for the ladies, oh yes, I said it. They're around for the ladies, they don't mind joining any church department just to be close to a lady they admire. While worship is on and everyone's eyes are closed, It's showtime for the Romeos, They scan around the church congregation with their eyes wide open for ladies to add to their catalog of ladies. The Romeos have got some special abilities such as thermal vision and x-ray vision, Yes, they can see Through the clothes of women. That being said I guess I better take cover before the guys in this category come for me.

There are two ranks in the Romeo category

A. The Hunters
B. The fishermen

The Hunters
The men bearing this rank are focused on just one prize, they can hit their target from a different zip code. the moment they get their prize, they lay down their hunting rifle, these are the gentlemen who just want to settle down.

The Fishermen
The men in this category are just legendary.
While Jesus called us to be fishers of men, these guys are fishers of ladies only.
They operate with gigantic fishing trawlers they fit into their pockets while coming to church. They aim to catch as many fishes as possible. All kinds are welcome onboard their boats.


The Juliets
This set of people consists of beautiful ladies
They're in church just for the guys, oh yes, I said it. They're around for the guys, they don't mind joining any church department just to be close to a guy they admire. While worship is on and everyone's eyes are closed, It's showtime for the Juliets, They scan around the church congregation with their eyes wide open for guys to add to their catalog of guys. The Juliets can pinpoint the location of a guy on their watch list like a spy satellite locating terrorists in tough terrains.

The Juliets consists of two ranks

A. The simple Juliets
These set of ladies are the easy-going, they're properly dressed, polite and respectful. They're sincerely searching for a guy with good intentions at heart

B. The complicated Juliets
These set of ladies act like the name of their rank implies, they're as complicated as trying to cut down a tree with a razor blade, They dress to seduce the innocent men in the church, even the Pastors are not spared from their seductive tactics, they put on revealing outfits, sit at the front row just to confuse the man of God.. (Lord save our souls)... The complicated Juliets hand over offering envelopes, P.O.S, tithe cards along with a slip containing their phone number saying call me... God will deliver us from such tactics in Jesus' name.. Amen!

The Sleep Kings/Queens
This set of people are extremely skilled at sleeping in church, I don't know if it's the influence of evil spirits or its just a hobby. Whatever be the case, They get cheated of the sermon in the church by their sleeping habit. The experienced Kings in this kingdom come to church wearing dark shades to cover their sleeping eyes... At times this tactic does prove to be effective as they appear like Arnold Schwarzenegger the terminator on the outside, while behind the glasses they're fast asleep.

The "I'm only here for the freebies."
This category consists of people who are only around for the free stuff they can get in church, such free stuff includes free WiFi, coffee, food, free power outlets to charge their phones and laptops.
Those on this boat usually have no idea about what the church sermon was all about, some of them might be in church for some weeks and still not know the name of the church. ( You just asked yourself how is that even possible?. ... Ok, right now you're smiling.. )

To be continued...

Other categories include,
1 The professors
2 The genuine worshipers
3 The heavily sophisticated
4 The busy body.

I'll write on the above categories next Sunday,
God bless You,

As Christians we need constant fellowship with each other to grow in faith, do not forsake the gathering together of your brethren in Christ, we must show love to one another, we must encourage each other in the most holy faith.

We shouldn't drift away from other believers, we shouldn't miss church gathering for the things of the world.

God gave you that job in the first place, the job shouldn't stop you from going to church (the house of God), The job shouldn't distract you from attending fellowship meetings... BE IN CHURCH, ALWAYS!!! MAY THE GOOD LORD HELP US TO NEVER MISS CHURCH MEETINGS... AMEN

for more daily devotions, just visit Instagram and follow @bible_diet.. God bless you

Nice one op. but from my observation, the first car belongs to the governor and has B6 grade armour protection, while, the second photo of the car undergoing maintenance is another stock BMW with no armour protection, the car is a soft skin vehicle, The Op was obviously paid to promote this workshop and came up with the whole story, all thesame nice story Op, if you know, you know. i repeat The second BMW is not armoured.

I really think what you need to do Op is to get yourself occupied with other things, give yourself a spiritual goal. try to go grow in faith too, believe me, your heart will be too occupied with the things of the spirit that you won't feel depressed, or heart broken anymore, and if it's God's will you and your lady will be united in love once again. thank you
