Are you sure that church is for me or do people even care whether I come or not? I'm a pianist in the church oo although the church had 2 pianist. Not even a call from the pastor, choir members or anyone at all that had my number. Is it true that is you're not financially contributing big to the church you're not recognised... Pls what's the issue? 1 Like |

The church and Christianity is now a business venture, your shepherd uses the ideology of belief to use uou towards the growth of his business, which is his church, not untill the fuse or power line in the church get blown out or is on fire would they remember to use the services of an power repair man , you are expendable and your absence does not stop him from moving on with his scam and brain wash , keep this in mind , the day you start making 100,000 a day from selling food and snacks close to the church thats the day the pastor will stop by to see you why you are no longer a member , it in the Bible that unless your house or you haven't settled with your home , you have no business with the church, read the book of Roman's |

yinkaOdutuyo: Why should the church come looking for you? You have like 10 churches that you attend. You leave the church for the pastor to sweep, clean everything, bring out and set every instrument, sponsor everything needed in the church with his money, preach the word, and finally pay all the choristers and instrumentalists? Una too wicked for this generation. Be useful anywhere you are let everyone know you're a committed member. Did you tell your pastor that you have a problem ![]() Obviously you're not "useful" in anyway to the church. Do you know that what makes you a member of any organization is your up to date payment of "DUES"? NOW YOU KNOW, will you still call yourself a member of that church? 4 Likes |

CYBERSOLDIERSre: Ogbeni, shut your stupid self up! Is the church a cooperative that needs weekly/monthly contributions? Giving shouldn't be forced on anybody, it is at their free will. Why should the choristers and instrumentalists be paid? Any church with paid choir is a fake church! |

yinkaOdutuyo: Lol you never see anything I am the only talking drummer in my church, sometimes my church will send me to our other branches to go play for them because they don’t have talking drummers. ( that’s how Important I thought i was ) I didn’t show up in church for 3 months because i was battling depression and financial setbacks, oga mi, nobody called or even texted me, i felt rejected and used, I still went back after 3 months, they didn’t even ask about my well being or anything, they were now telling me to go and play talking drum for them, I nearly swear for choir leader that day. ( if I mention the church name, people go shock ) The funny thing is, throughout the 3 months, they didn’t get anyone to play for them but they still didn’t call. Did I forget to say i never collected any money for my service? I have jejely gone to another church now, these ones, if i don't show up for weekly programs, the will call and ask why. They are so caring, i just hope they don’t change later. Answer to your question : Yes, if you’re not dropping heavy tithes and offerings in nowadays churches, nobody go send you at all. Damn... nasty... I’m out of here 4 Likes |

no disrespect to my religion christainity but some brethren are living a hypocrite life in church. what do I mean. some years ago, I used to be committed to a youth fellowship,a non denominational one,we pray,sing,hear the gospel message and soo on.some brethren due to their spiritual awakening and encounter and titles they were given they started seeing their selves way to big to have a conversation with you some don't even greet you except you do,i even get mad when a sister always respond to me how far anytime i greet her,pheww, really bad.at some point in time some may not even speak to you after sermon.. i went into apprentice job and later started missing activities only 3-4 out of the rest do call me to know why. after sometime i stopped going and to my suprise people that don't have conversation with me at all started calling and even started acting nice to me to start coming.. don't get me wrong,is not about economy nor your attitude and service to it no.some brethren are too stiff and too overly righteous that they find it hard to associate with you,some brethren lack the mindsets of being your brothers keeper and carrying along mentality which is very bad, some people feel insecured when they're alone inside room full of people and to make it worst they people are in 2's and 4's discussing.thats bad. we christian need to start carrying along each other and everyone, with that everyone will be of the same faith and strength ...we need to improve... am sinner but this is what I experienced back then....peace.. 2 Likes |

Arkmanbuddy: Your thinking dates back to several years back back back. A church, believe it or not, needs funds to run smoothly. There are staff members to be paid - security, cleaners, secretary, admin staff, etc. Bills to be paid - electricity, diesel for gen, data, fuel for vehicles, repairs and maintenance etc. All of these do not run on water. Some churches even engage in special projects - evangelism, community works etc. Running of a church isn't yam and beans okay? Then as for instrumentalists getting paid, it depends. If your church has members that can use the guitar well, play drums, gangan, keyboard and sax you're fine but churches with no members who can do this have to hire musicians to do them. Now the musicians who are hired will collect money because that is their own daily occupation that they earn a living from. Na you teach them how to play? Some of them invested in schools and materials to learn all the stuff. In my church, we have about 6 instrumentalists. My husband is the only one among them that does it for free. He can handle all the other instruments apart from his guitar, but he can only do one at a time. Apart from that, it's a matter of personal conviction if you wanna do it for free or not. Choristers don't get paid but we have benefits or privileges that we enjoy so please stop thinking like an ancient man biko. 2 Likes |

placeofallure: You see what I'm saying? You don't even understand what a church is. The church is the people that meet to worship God, not the building. God has no business with the building but the hearts of the people. If your pastor has all these things to make life easy for the people that gather at the place, he should be able to take care of them. Anyone who has the means to help out can do so without being coerced or forced to do it. The only concern of God is the people, not the church buses, or community service. Once the holy spirit takes over, everyone will see it as their duty to do these things. The pastor will call for it and everyone will turn up for it because their spirits align with it. 1 Like |

Arkmanbuddy: You are not practical at all. This is the issue I have with so called spiritual people. Every concept is abstract to them. The lady that mentioned you is a chorister and her husband an instrumentalist and she knows what she's talking about. @OP It's really about the people. Go where you are celebrated. |
Re: Today Makes It 7 Sundays I Have Not Being To Church And Nobody Check On Me. by Arkmanbuddy(m): 2:24pm On Jul 25, 2022 |
Karleb: This is what I have with "church business" people. The church is not a business. A pastor is not an entrepreneur! The real church as established by Christ and developed by the apostles has been relegated to the status of house fellowship all in the name of the business of soul-winning. If a church doesn't have anyone who can play any instruments, let them make do with what they have. It's very simple! You've turned the church into a seed-sowing and salary paying venture. It's a shame! Like a pastor once said, we'll keep joking and entertaining ourselves till Christ comes. We're mere jokers in a building thinking we're praising God. |

Arkmanbuddy: Baba, working for God comes with it's own reward and one vital part of the reward is money. It is not inappropriate or a sin to pay your workers to serve God. Some churches even give their members incentives, some go as far as providing jobs and loans to their members. It's not a sin and God approves it. Tithing became a thing because the Levites would go hungry and contemplate crime without it. A number of churches recognize this, they pay their workers, especially full time, handsomely. Maybe you can point out where God condemns paying a musician or a worker for that matter. |
