The fact remains that we've lost touch with our original source. Therefore we don't see any value in staying longer in the house of God. Many don't know why they even go to church. If we value God and truly reverence him then we would value the time spent in his vineyard. Come to think of it,if you don't spend quality time in the house of God,where will you spend it. |

Bad, he that has ears has already heard, Going on and on and on.....till it becomes so boring people (including myself) begin to sleep, It's so counter productive, children you are trying to raise to love going for church services begin to cry just because you say dress up for church. Why do some speakers feel they have to say everything they can, in one day,

The longer the service the more boring it will be. I feel more inspired by short energetic services especially short and energetic sermons. Not all those pastors that will want to read the wholr bible before feeling like they have preached. even if i dont believe in all what they are saying, i feel inspired anyways |

PROUD SABBATHERIAN .. SABBATH RULE |
| Re: Long Church Service: Good Or Bad? by giftedben: 12:09pm On May 07, 2017 |
I say 45 minutes What else do you want to tell God for 3 hours. Or do you want God to live ur presence. Remember is on the 7th day he needs his rest. |
| Re: Long Church Service: Good Or Bad? by Lexxyla: 12:10pm On May 07, 2017 |
Why should i wait for long periods to hear long talks most of which i won't even remember? The sabbath day is supposed to be a resting day not a day to exhaust all my energy on dancing, shouting to heaven as if God is deaf and listening to Malachi 3:10 every minute. |

Don't stay overly long in church. Allow God's spirit to stay in you always. You are the new church. Paul once preached a very long message for about 20 hours. So long that a young man sitting on the third floor gallery fell downstairs and died. Acts 20:7-12. He came down, raised him from the dead and continued! I find that story particularly fascinating. Anyway it was his farewell and he wasn't going to see them ever again. Now I don't like long services except for vigil /praise nights/concerts. Sunday morning worship should not exceed 3hours max Impact is not in how many hours you spend but how much you allow the Holy Spirit to touch your soul and transform you from inside out. What did you take from the message and what area of your life need to change? The reason why we go to church is to fellowship with God and edify each other. I personally find 50% of church activities unedifying.... Just for show. Let all things be done in moderation. The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet 1Cor 14:32 You can live in the church all your life and still wallow in sin. Church is symbolic of God's presence -where He lives. The church /temple where God wants to dwell is your heart. |

I'm totally against long services. What I've equally noticed is that these services have become too long due to the fact that churches spend this period taking money from the congregation (1st collection, 2nd collection, 3rd collection, 4th collection, thanksgiving 1,2,3,4,5, family thanksgiving 1,2,3,4,4.6.7.8.9, donation for church projects 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc). Even school lectures don't take this long. The problem's that lack of concentration, boredom, fatigue, and even resentment sets in. |

Basildvalour:Sorry to interupt. None of the churches you listed is part of the real churches of old. All what the old church do is to share a portion of the scripture by being concise and brief as possible and breaking of the bread not using the whole day in church all in the name of worship. |
