I have observed that some people no longer go to church these days due to one silly reason or the other.
Sundays are for resting, yes. But you must keep this day Holy by going to church and abstaining from certain works.
According to my observation, these are some reasons why people don’t go to Church on Sundays these days.
They Don’t Have Offering Money
It is so right that you should give offering when you go to church but because there is no money on you should not stop from going.

I must admit it, I am guilty of this. Last month, it was raining. My brother was preparing for church but I was just in bed wondering whether to join him or no. I later did and before I knew it the rain stopped. I remember our reverend saying one day that if you don’t come to Church because of rain, it means you didn’t want to come. You can get an umbrella or if the rainfall is not what an umbrella can handle, make sure you attend another service session that day.
Church Is In The Mind
This one annoys me the most. Some people will say its not a must to go to church every Sunday. When you ask them why, they tell you that Church is in the mind. They always claim to be better than those that sleep in the Church everyday.
Midnight Calls And Browsing.
Some people will just stay up throughout the night making calls and browsing but when its time to go to church in the morning, they can’t get up again. There is God o.
