Why Do You Sleep In Church Even With The Loud Speakers? by veeshine: 5:41am On May 26, 2019
There is nothing new under the sun. Things that happen today as we worship God have been happening since worship services began. There are those who are excited, others who are in awe, some who are confused, and yes, some who are asleep. We like to think of Paul as a mighty gospel preacher, and he was (Acts 24:25).




However, when Paul preached one Sunday in Troas, a young man named Eutychus fell asleep and eventually fell out of a window (Acts20:7-12 ). I would like to think that if Paul came to our congregation and preached people would be all ears, but the truth is, that might not happen. As great as God is, and as privileged as we are to be able to worship God, why is it that some people sleep in church comfortably even with the loud speakers ?

When it's time for praise you would see almost everyone dancing different styles and sweating profusely, but few minutes into the sermon people are already dozing off?

Above all we all need prayers.

Instead of prayers why don't we try this for a change

Do Message before the dancing and praise

Dancing is a body demanding exercise which leaves the body weaker.
Or are we afraid that people won't stay for offering after the message?

Which is more important, message or offering?

but hardly you sleep in club even when the music is loud. another complain is even the atheists say the Bible is just a story book and is a myth, when reading the Bible you hardly read a chapter without feeling sleepy. but you can read up to 10 chapters of a story book and your eyes will still be wide open .

No! if I read a storybook I'm not interested in I'd feel sleepy. if its a storybook I'm interested in I may postpone sleep just to finish it. interest is what makes one sleep not the content

calling the Jewish mythology a storybook is an insult to storybooks

..I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter His courts with praise... Psalm 100:4.

That's what the churches follow.. it's not all churches that offering is a problem to. Winners Chapel holds 3 services on Sundays. While some are just waking from bed around 8am, some are back from church. So timing for such a church is not the issue, ppl will still pay offering. You can't sleep in a service that ends before 8am

Most church sermon comes at the normal siesta time around 12-2pm. You can't help but sleep especially after eating snacks for d sellers outside

The stories in the bible are boring

We are tired of hearing the same nonsense

None of the miracles in the bible ever happen in real life

Most of the bible miracles are all mediocre

There is nothing new to learn from the bible

Most people are in church just because others are there

The pastor's new suit dey shine enter our eye

WHAT ABOUT THOSE THAT SLEEP AT PARTIES, AND IN CLASS?

EITHER THEY'RE STRESSED OUT AND TIRED, OR THEY'RE BORED... SO THEY SLEEP.
NOTHING LIKE SPIRITUAL.

THEY'RE TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME BIBLE VERSES AND SERMONS FOR MANY DECADES OF THEIR LIVES, SO THEY SLEEP.

SUCH PEOPLE WOULD RATHER REMAIN AT HOME, BUT THEY JUST GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE OTHERS ARE GOING AND THEY DON'T WANT TOO MUCH TALK AND QUESTIONS.

I'VE SEEN CATHOLIC PRIESTS DOZE OFF ON THE ALTER DURING MASS MANY TIMES SO I KNOW WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

MORE THAN 50% OF THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY DO SO NOT BECAUSE THEY THINK CHURCH IS INTERESTING, THEY GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE OTHERS ARE GOING, AND ALSO TO LOOK AROUND AND PASS TIME... THAT'S WHY MANY OF THEM ARE IN CHURCH BUT ONLINE ON WHATSAPP AND VIEWING THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW.

You're wrong, I've never slept in a party but I remember sleeping in church because yes, I was bored but I wasn't spiritually awake then, the word of God is never boring unless to those who lack connection with the Holy spirit.

I remember when I used to sleep in church, the sleep is so sweet that it annoys me when the ushers wake me.

But if I go outside to the church store to lie down, I can never sleep, even if I close my eyes for 30 minutes, I will still not sleep.

To me I will say preaching is boring to me that's why I sleep


I'm no longer a religious person
