Nowadays, there\u2019s so much wrong and honestly just unbelievable things going on in church houses; things that shouldn\u2019t be heard of talk less of seen among Christians. But unfortunately these are happening and sometimes these might discourage us from going to church because we don\u2019t expect such things to be happening in a church house so we think we are better off not going there at all.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately where God is, the devil is also going to be there trying to derail the people. Remember in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve where doing just fine in the beautiful presence of God, but he found his way there and distorted everything! Changed completely God\u2019s original plan for mankind! He is present too in our churches today trying to do the very same thing he did at Eden \u2013 and unfortunately, some of us, just like Eve fall for his schemes sometimes.<\/p>\n

Truth is, the possibility of you finding a \u2018perfect\u2019 church to fellowship at is very very slim. It\u2019s disheartening to observe the things that happen in church congregations these days \u2013 even the smallest of them all! But because as a believer fellowship is essential for your spiritual growth, you should have a body of believers with whom you fellowship with regularly.<\/p>\n

So when you get discouraged about what you see going on in church that isn\u2019t quite Christian-like and you feel like quitting (joining the \u2018online service\u2019), here are a few things you should remember;<\/p>\n
