I have come to understand one thing that is deceiving alot of people Now in the world. this one sounding word has got people 'THE CHURCH IS YOUR HEART" failing in their endeavours, am not condemning that your heart is not Church, No. But am saying we all Must go to Church because it is the only place were we all can meet Cry, Worship and Ask our Creator for Forgiveness.

Some even believe in staying at home to read their Bible, all this still works but you need to refresh your soul with his presence.

Below are 10 Good reasons why we should go to Church!

1. If you follow Christ, you are part of the body of Christ, and body parts, by nature, are connected. I know a sweet young woman who is recovering from surgery on the stump of her leg right now, so I can picture what a troublesome thing it is to have an amputation (1 Cor. 12:27).

2. God wants to show others who he is through YOU. When you get involved at church, people get a bigger understanding of who God is (1 Cor. 12:7). Crazy, huh?

3. You have been given a spiritual gift that is to be used to build up the body of Christ. Your gift is something other believers desperately need (1 Cor. 12)!

4. You need to eat, learn and pray with other believers (Acts 2:42-47).

5. You need to share with others, which means you have to hang out enough that you see the needs your brothers and sisters have. And they're gonna wanna share with you (Acts 2:45).

6. You need encouragement, and other believers need encouragement from you on a regular basis because this life is seriously hard (Heb. 10:25).

7. You need to laugh and cry with other believers through all the ups and downs of life. That can only happen if you're meeting with other believers through a lot of days (Rom. 12:15).

8. God is going to comfort you, often through the words and actions of other believers, and He wants you to pass on the comfort to the believers around you (2 Cor. 1:3-4).

9. If God is your Father, that makes church a family gathering (Phil. 1:2).

10. When you gather with other believers and love them, God's love is made complete in you (1 John 4:12).

See, you need the church, and the church needs you.

It's messy. You'll get hurt by folks sometimes and will be disappointed by them often. But church is God's design, and if you risk going to church, you will bring glory to God and will find your own great joy.

5 Ways Nigerian Churches Are Encouraging Corruption

Kinda tired of church...we pray,pray and pray but our God remain silent and we read 'Ask and it shall be given unto u' I don ask tire for one thing but i no see..Religious people plz stop telling me about gift of life,u r not sick...that line is old now.

Meanwhile, If all the offerings and tithes money always dissapear to heaven immediately after collection..How many pastors out there will still work for God?

They ask us to pray for money but collect money from us...Y dont they pray for money to fall from heaven for themselves?!

Too funny..

Here are 10 Good reasons not to Go to Church..

1. Tomorrow is Monday and you should try and get enough relaxation nd rest today in preparation for a new week.

2. Whatever it is the Pastor has to preach today, you have heard it more than 100 times already.

3. Even the Bible said God rested.

4. Arsenal vs. Chelsea (Derby)

5. If you start saving all the money you have been giving to Pastors in the name of tithe and offerings in a savings account since you were a kid, by now you would have a lot of money.

6. You already know you will be back to sinning before 6pm tonight so why bother.

7. Going to Church is not a condition for making heaven just a waste of your time and finances.

8. Are you not too old to still be believing that singing, clapping and putting your money in a basket is what makes an imaginary guy in the sky reward you or bless You?

9. If you don't go to Church today, the only person that will be affected is the Pastor and his account balance.

10. Read 1 - 9 again.

Interesting

Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in.

Hmm.. I pray .. Did the repentant thief who was crucified alongside Jesus attend sabbath?

Jesus continues to remind us what is important in the life of a Christian ...

You used the right spellings but every point you made were all trash.
How could the British introduce to you a religions and upon modern day practices, they they don't take it serious like you do. Most people in Britain are Atheist, The British don't have holidays not even Christmas celebration. But guess what, they introduced Christianity to you and now they are evolve way pass religion.

Its a pity for the black race holding on to religion because do so, you only the warder to your own mental prison. the British gave us religion to get us submissive and easy to control but today what religion does is stunt mental growth setting us back to cave man era when we really in post modernism. And you hear the ignorant once always call post modernism end time.

my advice is, it's not too late for the black race to make the future but it starts with leaving the past.

99% of girls go to church for the sole purpose of showcasing their new clothes and dey will enter late when everybody will be looking at them..

?
Religion is why Africa will remain backward.
Forget the progress in whatever aspect,
Once people are this stupid and boldly showcase it,
The end is not only pitiful but disheartening at the level of willful Ignorace coupled with lack of mental dynamism in the life of the individual.

Do you wanna sometime just grab someone by the head and cut it open just to speak hardcore sense into it?
I feel like every African person should go through that.

Are we the same people expecting development?
Nation of leeches and rogues.
