Ms_Steph: I was in church and noticed that a lot of people where not paying attention and I noticed some odd things
1) Some pinging
2)Indecent dressing among ladies: I really thing ushers should do something about dis cause I saw a lot of cleavages dat wasn't meant for the church
3) Make up: the way some ladies make up and come to church as if its a beauty pageant even in pageants am sure gals don't dress like that
4) Gossiping: a lot of people use this precious time not to worship God but talk about other people in church mostly back benchers do this
5) Sagging: this is for the guys for real tho can't you just kip your trouser up just for an hour or two for God?
6) Love connection: during service you will see guys/ladies looking at demselves in a seductive way
7) Receiving of calls when the service is going on
If you have any please share yours

I wonder what church you go to, the type of people that attend and what you yourself do while in service. Within the space of one month I have visited 3 different churches and while I can't claim to have been looking out for these things but I can say that in none of the churches I have been to I don't see these things as rampartly as you say. One or two incidences which are statistically within expectation cannot be over blown to the way you make it seem.

BTW I suggest you cease looking around at what people are doing during service and concentrate or you change your church.

@OP; you obviously weren't paying attention during service because if you were, you wouldn't notice all these. You are as guilty as those you declared guilty.

Those spirits can not survive a FIRE BRAND PRAYING CHURCH.

Revive the prayer alters in our churches and those demons of distractions will flee.

Spend quality time in serious prayers in church and such level of carnality, lukewarmness and outright lewdness will not find a place.

This present generation of christians seem to be the weakest/powerless yet they are no concerned. How many churches spend up to 30 minutes in prayers on Sundays? Your guess is as good as mine.

Let us not derail from d subject matter "LACK OF MANNERS IN THE CHURCH" saying it here is the same thing as telling them and we are not judging anyone but we should understand that as we have business ethics so we have religious ethics which every matured mind should abide with, this is why the children and teenagers church are seperated from the adult church. Some came to church and feel too big to pray or stand where they are suppose to... Which is very common with ladies, it hot me anytime i find my self beside one....please change now!

This is end time, satan is busy marking his people even in the house of God.People don't have respect for God again nor his temple, they treat everything alike and life carefree life. They neglect righteousness by taking God for granted. If you are a Christian take your bible and read the whole book of revelations then you either chose to repent or to perish. Heaven is as real as day and night. All ill manners and immoralities will be cast to the lake of fire. Those who have ear should hear.

DonCrust:

what nonsense are you talking about or do you want God to punish you with spoke of the tongue? If you notice anything in that's not right in the church, are you too dumb to know that the mail/information box that is in your church premises is meant for members to get in touch with the pastors if you're afraid of meeting them in person? By the way, who is not focussed between you and those you were looking at? It is your type that makes the unbelievers to say trash about the body of Christ. May God punish that your dirty mouth, cause all your teeth to fall off and fold your fingers for pointing accusing fingers at the body of Christ.
Are you even a Christian?

You devil man! How can u be so vindictive because someone expressed their opinions. Thanks be to the Father who is so gracious and has given us the power of free will. Those blaming OP for writing in church, look at the time she posted the article. Church may just be settling down to begin.

Ms steph's observation is a reflection of the failure of our churches. The pastors ought to be able encourage behaviours change: people lose focus apparently because the pastor has nothing good enough to offer.

This is just a barbaric mentality of Christians. The bible says the body is the temple of God so if u can't respect the temple which is YOU then why must you respect a mere building which is today called church..... Do whatever you like in church.

I attended a Catholic church one Sunday some few weeks ago and I was almost carried away by the cleavage of a Church warden (Usher). Her dress revealed it conspicuously while she moved around proudly doing her duty as I kept on looking at her but contemplating if I should correct her about her dress or I shouldn't bother because I wasn't sure how she would take the correction. So, I decided not to bother myself but I just hoped she understood my message by the constant look I gave her not to think I was interested in her because some girls can have such false feelings cheesy

Then this is a matter you should take up with your pastor/priest, it is not a general happening in all churches. Your church members obviously are not taking the services seriously. If you can't meet with the head pastor/priest discuss it with an elder you are close to.

It doesn't happen rampantly in the churches I have been to especially not to the extent where other members are distracted. Maybe your church is a special case.
