That number 9 day annoy me ehhhh

What if they die while rushing home

Very well said OP.

There should be utmost respect for the sanctity of the church.

But the 'switching off' the phone part will be difficult you know. Most people now, don't carry Bibles again. Mobile Bible is the in thing for them.

Go to church and serve God, not to be looking at others.

Refusing to sit where ushers direct you doesn't mean you are proud... It's the house of The Lord not the ushers house.
You can sit wherever you want,wherever you are comfortable...

As an introvert, I hate front seats so when usher trys to usher me to the front I decline and take a seat @d back...
Doesn't mean I'm proud

I agree with the rest.

Some people will not even behave whether in the church or not

Really?

What is church
Church is where two or three are

what if you die while going home after church closes

Church is in the heart❤️

Close to 90% of churches in the world are scam houses.


Meanwhile, WANT TO CALL NAIJA NUMBERS FOR A CHEAP AMOUNT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?? CHECK MY SIGNATURE FOR CONTACT

Most of your points are trash

If you don't want them to direct you where to sit then come early and sit where you want. The late comers don't have to choose where to sit

lmao

I hate people coming late to church.There are people that have taken it as habit.I do ask them,if you cannot come late to your work place you go Monday to Friday(Saturday), while should it be on church service.

It is well... The Church also needs prayer.

You forgot to add this one:

Using the church as your drop point for badly torn and worn currency notes. Several people are fond of this and I wonder how they feel comfortable giving out such shady looking naira notes as offerings in church. Well, the envelopes they use aid them in such shaa.


Meanwhile on Point no 7, I must say it is important for a church to emphasize a culture of keeping to time. Honestly such shows the Organisation and order of that that church. You cannot just run services anyhow always having inconsistent and different closing times. If it is a miracle and holyspirit special service, then that can be excused as time is expected to be overshot but for normal services, time must be adhered to.

A truly organised church is conscious of time. So the fact that one should not make it a habit to check one's wristwatch or the church clock all the time should not mean churches should not take the time durations of their services seriously.

Avoid looking for a sweet looking cute babe/guy to sit next with, so u can hold hands when instructed to hold/shake & hug your neighbour's..
Wetin I know sef

Dude death can come at anytime

If d love of money is d root of all evil,why den is it needed in churches?

Some went early and died when church building collapsed and crash-landed on them. Others were rounded Up by Boko Haram and slaughtered like Christmas chicken. Chei

Op is self righteous.

@No.1- some churches that starts at 6.30am, careless about the security of others especially the less privileged members. offcourse most preachers are mobile, can u say same for all church members?

@2. Not everyone likes front seats as most ushers Compell members to take front rows. Some persons are introverts, if u force them, u ruin their self confidence

3. Oga, if u have an emergency case as a doctor or pressing needs at home, u won't attend to it baa because say u dey church baa'. Kilode?

4. @ chewing gum, i guess many persons chew gum to stay awake. Pointless unless you go loud with it

@No.9. Some preachers prefer keeping members all day in church, sometimes with irrelevant announcement.
Oga, if u have a job to do' abeg go work ooo. Our God is not a selfish God


I'm not in anyway against sanity in God's vineyard, but the way people takes christianity so stiff in this part of our world makes it look as if it's base on compulsion and not salvation.

biko, Una dey make people fear church for Africa.

Thanks for this information brotherly
May God airpus

And why are Africans taking this foreign religion personally?
It's not ours, let's find ourselves

2. Wetin concern usher Raymond with where I sitdon put. I came to church on my freewill, i should be allowed to choose where to sit. White people don't do that. I'm a natural back bencher in church, so immidiatelly they start general announcements, I'm the first man off, no time.

You forgot to add
11. Looking at ladies bumbum in church or seductively staring at them.
12. Judging people in accordance to how rich by using how well they dress in church.

Rubbish!!!! The bible says you are the temple of God. The Bible is not talking about the physical structure because even Jesus said those temples will be pull down. Those churches today are more or less business centres where buying and selling tales place. A place where the demonstration of God's power is seriously lacking. All we see today is mere sensationalism and emotional outbursts. So if I go to church building and start taking calls, chatting, it ain't my fault. Most churches are mere meeting points for motivation talks, AY live entertainment show or Wizkid-like choir song rendition

I disagree with no 7.....some churches unnecessarily prolonged some boring activities which ends up making the service duration much longer than the scheduled time......I get up & leave cos I get frustrated @ times with church time management.

11. Stop using loud speakers to disturb the peace of the environment (Noise pollution) same also goes to your sisters religion "Mosque"

The point 9 you raised, I really don't agree with it. Can you kindly quote a scripture concerning that? I count it as a doctrine, not a commandment. There are some churches that sit and clap hands and even pray.
