CHURCH MEMBERS AND THE SEVEN KILLER DISEASE

KNOW AND TACKLE THE VARIOUS CHARACTER TRAITS IN MEMBERS THAT PREVENT THE CHURCH FROM GROWTH

 

Not all pastors are bad. If you are a pastor and you have a Judas as a member, no matter your spirituality, the teachings and the prayers you make for them, they will end up hanging themselves and make everyone see you as bad person. Sometimes, it is like church members, like pastor.

The issue of church members is as important as the issues of pastors because, a pastor's work is to build church members in their spiritual lives and to help them improve their relationships with God.

There are problems and diseases of church members which makes the duty of a pastor extremely difficult. 'Church Members' takes a look at the attitudes of church members which make the work of the pastor more difficult, hinder the vision of God's church and how those diseases can be remedied. Go through each chapter and know how God wants you to behave as a member of His church.

Yet many forsake it week after week. Some church members carry various ideologies and thought patterns that makes them become uncommitted to the church they belong. Below are seven mindsets that fuel this behavior of the uncommitted church member.

7 Mindsets of Church Members Who Are Not Committed

There are no benefits in going to church.

Uncommitted church members believe that the church is irrelevant and offers them no benefits in life. This is why they are not committed to attending on a regular basis. They think that going to church is only done when you do not have anything important or worthwhile to do. Some will even prefer to rest than to attend a church service.

The problem of such church members is that; when they are accessing the benefits of church, their carnal minds make them think in terms
