I have been thinking of dis issue for some time now, and don't really know how to conclude it but I believe placing it here on Nairaland, I will b clarified.

Have travelled to several places (such as Kano, Katsina, Kaduna Niger, Ibadan, etc), I saw churches situated close to beer parlour or beer parlour or prostitutes houses situated close to churches. I started saying why do people disrespect the church. It will be very hard for u to see any beer parlor or house of prostitutes close to the Mosque because they value n respect God and His abode.

Even though Christianity as we all know is a religion of love and peace but that doesn't mean we should allow such things to happen close to the house of God. You can imagine a church situated close to the prostitute house, tell me what u think may happen to d members by d time they begin to see naked women not to even talk of the pastors. Places like Sabon Gari in Kano, you will see a church close to beer parlour, as d service is going on, d beer parlour activities are also going on at d same time. This closeness has brought many christians to destruction, just as d saying, "if you cannot beat them, join them".

Its high time our church leaders start fighting such abnormality as I see it. The damage such issue has created in d life of many is too much. Let's learn from our Muslim counterpart in purifying our place of worship.

I know most of us have seen and experience such things. What do you think is d cause and way out. Love to hear from u guys.

Thinking about this too. But in different frequency

If you are a Christian you won't be raising such question. So long as the beer parlour is not operating in the church its okay. So long as the LovePeddler house is not operating from the church okay.
You could also ask why are Christians in this evil world , God should take them all away to heaven but no.
This life is a test, a lesson and for Christians to be examples of good around evil.

I agreed to all what u said. I know a lot of comments are still coming

Many churches has lost focus and the very purpose of the "church"
Many churches today are seen as business ventures. Churches pride more on number of branches and members.
Soul winning isnt what it used to be ......

The venue of a church is not an issue. It's even better to take the church to where the sinners are. It will only empty the beer Parlour . Of course not everybody will want to attend a church situated in such places . Some can't even attend a church in a hotel but it doesn't matter . It's the vision of the minister that counts. The gospel should be taken to where the sinner is.

Mr man Jesus didn't come for the self righteousness.his targets are prostitutes, drunkards, thieves and the morally depraved.just as the healthy need no doctor so does the self righteous need no saviour
