there are certain issues which should be rightfully addressed. it was pointed out to me, only then i realised the severity of it. thank God for making me aware of it.

latecoming: i was late for church yesterday. not that i can help it, coz i had a commitment made before coming to church- mtg with student, which originally i had arranged so that i can come to church service in time after that. But regretfully, due to my carelessness and poor awareness of various commitments, i had to push my mtg with my student to a later timing, thereby i was late for service for 1/2 hour. i ask God for forgiveness regarding this matter.
i aint setting a good example for the younger ones, it is not right to stroll into church 5 to 10 minutes late. it seems that every week there'll be 1 or 2 older youths in church who will do that. Younger ones follow. i was told some of them came late around 10 mins after 7. We should take God's house seriously, we are afraid of being late for school, y it hardly affects us when we're late for church. Sloppiness in our service and attitude we bring before God. Our irreverence is unacceptable. at least demons fear God. am i any better than the faith that demons possess?

do you notice that toilet breaks are mandatory for some already? i can almost predict when they will excuse themselves outside to relieve their bladder which i doubt is even half-filled. this group-peeing phenomena is highly 'distractive' and unnecessary. probably the church should ensure that every member pees before they enter the sanctuary. funny huh, its worse than the movies, where you wouldnt go unless its beyond bursting point.

sometimes i wish the church leaders can portray the side of a disciplining father more openly rather than discreetly, quietly. shouldn't there be a more obvious condemnation to show the stand that the behaviour isn't condoned. the rest of the congregation may think that the church accepts these behaviour as little or nothing is being done to clam down on them. Rebukes and corrections cant be discounted!
