Scooper Spirituality: Why Comedy In The Church Is Highly Improper

We live in a time where morals and values are being dumbed down consistently to suit people's moral decadence.

If there's a place that shouldn't be influenced by all this, it should be the Church.

The Church is more than just a physical representation of the Christian religion, it ought to be a sanctified ground that exudes holiness and purity.

But just like the outside world, the church is dumbing down its values and allowing certain practices that are associated with the world to take place in the church.

On the 7th of December, The House On The Rock Church put together the 13th edition of its annual Experience gospel concert. This year's edition had over 700,000 people in attendance and dignitaries such as the major gubernatorial candidates for Lagos state Jimi Agbaje (PDP) and Jide Sanwo-Olu (APC) were in attendance.

This gospel event was hosted by Banky W and Richard Mofe Damijo and had comedians like Akpororo to "entertain" the crowd.

If Banky W, RMD and Akpororo were to organize their own entertainment based shows (as they are entertainers), will they use a pastor as the host for such events?. You already know the answer to that event.

So why is the church giving room to secular entertainers to coordinate a religious event?

As if having entertainers as hosts wasn't bad enough, popular Nigerian comedian Akpororo who happens to be a member of the host church House on the rock was given time to "entertain" the audience and he did just that.

The comedian lashed out at OAP Daddy Freeze who is notoriously popular for telling church-goers to stop paying tithe. Akpororo was quoted saying that if he had anointing like Elijah, he would turn Daddy Freeze into a wall gecko and as expected, the audience laughed about it.

It is sad to see that we are at a point where the church which ought to have an environment of spiritual sensitivity is now a place for secular comedians to ply their crass jokes.

What's even more disturbing is how this act of secular entertainers officiating Christian events has become a trend.

Some people have defended this act by saying that the church should welcome all people including entertainers and they are right, the church should welcome all people but the church shouldn't allow entertainers officiate its services and events because when they do, they inadvertently distract people from the real purpose of church fellowship which is seeking the face of God.

The people who come are no longer interested in God but in the entertainers they have come to see.

For everything, there is a time and a place and the house of God is definitely not a place that should have its services/events officiated by entertainers.

How to Send a PayPal Link for Payment

If you have a PayPal account, people can send you money using your PayPal login email address associated with the account, but that can be cumbersome to tell people in many situations. You can also set up a special PayPal Link, through PayPal's PayPal.Me service, that people can click on to send you money. How PayPal Payment Links Work You can set up a special link associated with your PayPal account where if people click on it, they will be sent to a PayPal prompt to send you money and shown your profile picture to verify that you are the right person they intend to pay. You can send this to friends by text, email or instant message if they owe you money, post it on a website where friends and relatives can use it to send you gifts or use it to accept payment for your business. The username in the link can be essentially anything that you pick that hasn't already been chosen, similar to an email address, though PayPal says it shouldn't be offensive or infringe on someon...

By 2019, Over 3.9 Billion People Will Have Access To The Internet

No fewer than 3.9 billion people, making up more than half the world population, will have access to the internet by the end of 2018, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) said. The United Nations telecommunications agency made the projection in its Global and Regional Estimates for 2018. The latest figures also spotlight Africa, which shows the strongest rate of growth in internet access, from around two per cent in 2005, to more than 24 per cent of the African population in 2018. Europe and the Americas are the regions with the slowest growth rates, though the current figures show that 79.6 per cent and 69.6 per cent are online, respectively. ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao said “the estimates are a pointer to the great strides the world is making towards building a more inclusive global information society”. The record figure of 3.9 billion people, or 51.2 per cent that will be online by the end of December, is an important milestone in the digital revol...

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - TWO MOMENTS OF BRILLIANCE FROM THE ARGENTINE Messi should be awarded the Ballon d'Or tomorrow Lionel Messi celebrates his second goal against Liverpool.

Chelsea Star Set To Make Shock Move To Barcelona

Barcelona have been rebuffed by Chelsea after an approach regarding a potential January move for Andreas Christensen. The Spanish champions are currently looking into potential defensive reinforcements with Samuel Umtiti increasingly likely to undergo surgery on a knee injury. Matthijs de Ligt, the Ajax defender, is Barcelona’s No.1 target, but Ajax are unwilling to sell until next summer. That could see Barcelona move now, for Christensen, potentially freeing up De Ligt for others next summer; Juventus are monitoring his situation. Christensen is also rumoured to be wanted by AC Milan as he considers a move away from Stamford Bridge having become unhappy with his role under Maurizio Sarri.
