Its not surprising at all.

The scriptures had already fortold that in the end times "the love of many shall wax cold" and men shall be lovers of themselves, rather than lovers of God"

The world is right where the scriptures said it would b. No surprise at all.

But just know that we are not just in the end times, but in the last days of the end time.

Get born again today before it's too late...

Mekanus:
Because the youths are getting wiser. You don't need to waste your time serving an imaginary being.

There is a verse of proverb I like
It is better u sever God and when u die only to find out that God doesn't exist than not serving him and later die only to find out dat God exist

So the choice is yours to make


Serving the God takes nothing away from you, use ur sense

People who don't serve God don't know how beautiful it is to serve Him.

Thanks sir, you hit the nail on the head!

The parents themselves are they serving God?

I like money, but I dont serve it sir

But you Like Fvcking abi

This is the same issue that has been plaguing the church at least since the middle- end of the last century..with the explosion of modernization and technology.
The world has and is fluencing the church more than the church influencing the world.

If what the world has to offer, is placed on the highest pedastal in the youths' hearts, then that is what will be sought after.
It's truly one simple spiritual reason though: no true heart conversion.
I know I sound like a tape-recorder, but it comes down to the heart.he youth in churches worldwide, probably cannot make the decision to leave the church yet or just not attend, so they just bring the "world" in.
They begrudgingly serve..
It's a "barter/trade" relationship."
"I'll serve, but I better get something out of it" type of mentality.
One foot in the church and the other "outside" of it.
So the worldy mentality comes into the church..and dominates.
I'm not judging, but I know its a problem in the U.S. also.
Parents/guardians have to do better job in laying a very firm biblical foundation...I would say.

the parents themselves are they serving God

helinues:
Are the olds/mentors, parents genuinely serving God?

A mango seed cant grow an apple

This was what i wanted to write too.
When all the older people the youths look up to do not show the result of being Christ like in them. We see and read about these older folks heavily into corruption, wickedness and such, and you want the youths to act differently.

the problem with this is that you might end up serving the wrong god. If you serve yahweh and then at the end find out that Allah or vishnu is the only true god, it will all be a waste.

Or does serving any god suffice?

No. You don't sound like a tape recorder at all.

You spoke the untold truth.

Because it's easier not being a Christian. Imagine all the imposed rules in xtianity,makes being a Christian boring. case study Deeper life:- Don't wear trouser,don't wear make up etc. some 9ja churches even forbids hugging.Tell me why I should take "Jesus" seriously.
By the way quick question for deeper life pastors...why is it that every single foreign female pastors eg Joyce Meyer and Co wear both trousers and make up, are the Bible verses different overseas or what. The tearing of the temple curtains set us free from several rules of the Old Testament only for Nigerian pastors to make another set of rules. Get to know the Holy Spirit better and let him guide you, trousers and make up are not sins for the females. By the way have you guys noticed females overseas don't wear headtie. How is that possible

This is because of the unbalanced gospel that has corrupted our current Christianity whereby Jesus Christ is preached as a means to an end {miracles, signs, job-opportunity, marital-engagements, promotions, financial-favors, healing e.t.c} instead of THE END ITSELF (ETERNAL LIFE) that permits both advantages and disadvantages.

The problem with our Christian belief started when preachers started preaching Jesus Christ as a means to an end(Miracles, financial-favors, marital-engagements, marital-bliss, job-opportunities, wealth, healing, prosperity e.t.c) and NOT THE END ITSELF{LIFE ETERNAL}.
Unless we preach CHRIST JESUS CRUCIFIED ALONE as the END and ALL THAT ANY HUMAN BEING NEEDS at every tick of time on this earth more erroneous doctrines, juju-men on suits, shrine-centers in the name of synagogues and prayer-houses will abound wrecking peoples' life especially in Africa and this generation.
Repetition of the Sound gospel of Grace{repent from sin/unbelief, believe in Jesus Christ in order to receive eternal life, submit your whole being; spirit, soul and body to the Holy Spirit to possess through daily consistent and progressive bible to discover more about JESUS CHRIST and grow in GRACE both as an individual and as a member in your fellowship/Church} is NEVER BORING because the Holy Spirit releases his freshness/anointing/grace each time it is preached, releases ETERNAL LIFE AND GRACE to attend to each individual and family as IT PLEASES HIM and AT HIS OWN TIME!!!

This is the absolute truth. People attending the church because of what the stand to gain.

Nice Piece!

When I see people that talk about this "eternal life". I ask myself what psychiatrist was attending to them?
It's easy to believe to believe eternal life when your life is near despondency.
Oh, and Biology ain't an easy ride.

Hahaha, so when you die and find out you have been serving the wrong God what then happens, Since they are more than 1000 Gods? I am using my sense that's why I don't waste it serving an imaginary being.

Did bible tell you to be aggressive as well. Why is it that Nigeria Christians are always aggressive once you say something contrary to their own.
The youths are no more serving God because most pastors only care about the tithe you’ll bring which is why youths. I longer go to church like before

4000 Gods actually and only theirs is true while other worship fake Gods

Yea, only theirs is the true God

Girls who sleep around are mostly church workers lol. Looking for innocent man to trap

What I have I give to u, what I don't have I sit down,
When u are timid or scared or intimidated, u feel everything is always pointing to u,

Bro u kw get, u kw get, u can't kill ur self,

I give wen I am moved by d spirit to give, .

If I give arms to a begger on my way to church
And d pastors announce, dat it time for tithe, if I don give d begger half of my tithe na d remaining half I go drop, or If I give d begger my offering, I don't have to start feeling guilty becus I didn't drop money in d church

BrightEye:
Because they need strong Conviction! Youths of this generation are born in the era of modernization. They have access to any information they seek, and some of them have realised that something is wrong with our religious settings, and they are not sure of what serving God means.

I think I'm in this category

cause they are gradually seeing the flaws and myths behind religion

Young people need something true to believe in. Unfortunately, what they see happening negates what is being taught on the alter.

Everyone isn’t like you. Some people even borrow money to pay tithe to pastors. Who does that ? It doesn’t make sense. Some people would be owing you money but they would still pay tithe. Does that make any sense to you? People have been brainwashed a lot

God slowly answers prayers and depression of no money

The same bible says in the last days, these things will happen. So why act surprised? Or don't you read your bible?

Cos the whole idea was created by other humans for controlling their subject

If a God actually exist what does it need ur serving for? Do other animals serve God?

I understand that religion discussion is a very deep issue just like space, very dark, I mean very very dark without ending, in d issue of people owning depth and still yet they go to church to pay tithe, such person have their self to blame, such person read d bible in such a way dat always justify their action, and they most times end up been biased in their argument, there is time for every tin, give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser and give to God what belongs to God,

What u just pointed out is just like u selling in a market and u are suppose to pay d tax of d space daily so tax men comes around to ask for d tax and u Jones them by saying I never sell abeg come later, later turns to 7pm and u lock up and go home, for ur mind u place those men and u call it favour.

The next day been Sunday u go pay ur tith for church frorgeting u are owning government, later in d afternoon, u open store again and unnoticed to u those tax men come again dis time very angery and destroy your goods and packed some away,
U vex enter church day pay accident and badlock for those tax men and their family,

Will god answer your pray towards those taxmen? The answer is No

It's same way u are in debt and instead of u to pay your debt u go drop d money inside offering box like say god na money doubler ,god will not answer such pray,

GIVE. To Caesar what belongs to Caesar and gice to God what belongs to God

how do you want us to serve God again despite the calamities religion cause Africans...
