pweetiedee: The original essence of gathering with other believers is for fellowship and to edify each other. Anything extra is not a must. The early church did not collect offering at every fellowship. Each member shared what he had with others 2 Likes |

malvisguy212:Many have departed from the faith for a long time now. Those gatherings in buildings you call churches are apostates. They have no resemblance with biblical church. They are filled with goats and lost sheep that can't edify anyone. On judgement day, Christ my advocate will speak for me. And my admission into His glory would depend on whether I trusted Him completely not my works or unbiblical "church going" |

When it finally dawns on you that the religion was just a middle-east belief imported into Africa! When u truly realize that it's all a cajoling tool to mental slavery And when u get to personally see that it pays to work than praying all day to something you can't vouch for its existence The youths re getting wiser! They inherited religion from parents an breaking off from shackles Men re now wiser and critically thinking! If same religion were to have gotten to Nigeria today, 5% of our population won't believe it 3 Likes |

God still remains God come what may. He in His wisdom formed a structure which we call the church. He is the builder of this structure and he has declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Whatever wrong image anyone (including church leaders) may want to give the church, I will never forsake it cos it belongs to JESUS not the pastor. One day He is coming for His church |

I think we need to define what a CHURCH is and how a CHURCH setting should be...None of the apostles had a church of their own, None pastored a church as a singular entity. The problem occurred when the modus operandi of what a church should be changed, when individuals begin to have the idea of owning a church for themselves and giving people the illusion that only inside such buildings will they be safe and communicate with God as such buildings is referred to a CHURCH.. NO, why do a man concern himself with building a big cathedral for God and call it a church, not with his own money but with that of other people, other people who are pressurized into delving into such venture. this is the problem, buildings are nt church, God will not rapture the buildings, so why do we continue to give people such illusions. I believe in God, I biliv in the death and resurrection of Jesus, I biliv that the Bible is true in its entirety but I honestly defer in ideology of what a CHURCH is and has become, as the new order makes people see MEN instead of CHRIST. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

homesteady: And you think it's ordinary? (ist of), You feel lazy going to church (secondly), you're gradually loosing the will to serve God or just merely going to church? And you think its ordinary? NO it isn't! Watchout! the devil is trying to cajole you out of God's way so he could harm you... Be vigilant! don't be ignorant of his tricks and acts... Watch your ways and and get closer to God do not wallow in the den of unbelievers... Most of the comment here are made by those who don't be in God(atheist) so be guided... If You hate being a hypocrite? Then don't be one... Pray and God will see you through... Nobody's perfect we're all trying to walk towards perfection... So don't give up on yourself cause God will not give up on you... Remember Where there is a will there's a way |

CHURCH should be nothing more than a "study group", a "fellowship" a "coming together of people of same mind" "of same ideology" "of saints", it should be able to take place anywhere, at anytime we all agreed upon and strictly adhere to, it can have a LEADER but not a OWNER, it can have a committee that sees to her growth and discipline not a one man at helm of affairs . it doesn't have to be a one man business, it was never established to be a one man thing. That is why youths are lost today, they see their pastors defect as God's defect, the deacons mistake as God's mistake and this is because someone is so particular about himself /herself being the Centre of attraction, being the owner of "God's business", they all want to be a CEO in God's company.. This is the problem 3 Likes 1 Share |

Actually, many people are not religious during their youth after being forced religion throughout their childhood and teenage years. Most older people, parents you see who are religious today were very irreligious when they were younger. So it's not a really new trend that youths are uninterested in religious activities. Some of us have that friend who while in the university was the least religious person but preaches to us now that they're married and all. I think there are social and psychological factors that can explain why people generally get more religious and conservative as they grow older. That said, I think the times are changing and society and the world generally is witnessing a decline in overall religiosity which is making the fanatics more mad hence these terrorists springing up everywhere. Thanks to the age of science, information and evidence, it is becoming more difficult to deceive people with fantastical claims of supernaturality. 2 Likes |
