Celebrating Arsenal's Win In Church Is Out Of Place by DanOkonkwo(op): 12:29pm On May 25
The church is a sacred place of worship and fellowship with God,but recently it revealed that what we do in this nation as Christianity is just a show of performance.
From the recent win of Arsenal of the Priemier league after 22 years,it revealed that idolatry has taken a disguise in the church today.
Many church people including clergymen who should know better are hosting Thanksgiving service on behalf of Arsenal and even a preaching with Arsenal as a theme.
I don't have a problem with Arsenal winning the league, infact I celebrated them but not to have it take over a church service,the teaching or preaching of the Word unto something else.
There should be boundaries,there should be a limit to such things.
Do your celebration,yes, it's well deserved but when it becomes a topic in church and it intrudes into the sanctity of worship and reverence for God,then that's a problem,we are largely drifting in the Nigerian Church Landscape.
We have a long way to go.

Don't be too spiritual. All these are for fun. Besides, there is nothing wrong using Arsenal as a case study in conveying the word of God in as much as you are still in the track.

Don't be too spiritual? For a religious follower?

GOD bless you for this!

Sinners are perishing and Christians are being starved of the 'nutritious' word of GOD, but they have time to conform to the world by celebrating football, which belongs to the world and is passing away with the world.
Jesus Christ is not happy with a majority of our churches today.
No wonder Christians have little impact in our society today.
The power of GOD cannot manifest in carnal Christians.
