The church which is the place where Christians go to worship is a sacred place that should be kept holy.

Yet, there are things some things I have seen some Christians do in the church which I don't think is good enough.

Check them out.

Texting and calling in the church
As a child, I was taught to always put off my phone while entering the church because the phone is a distraction, and operating it especially when there is no emergency is not good.

Playing games in church
This is definitely very bad. There was a time I saw a woman give her young son her iPad to play games because he was bored, and I was surprised. The bible says we should train a child in the way of the lord so that when he is old, he would not depart from it... Therefore the child should be taught how to listen to the word of God, without trying to bribe him.

Going to warm the bench
Some people would go to the church and after a few minutes, they would start sleeping. I think that is where discipline is needed. If such people were in the presence of earthly kings, I am sure they would not have a problem staying awake.

Still on that point, I have sat close to a woman whom while the pastor was preaching was writing the list of what she would get in the market.

Doing competition in church
Some people go to the church primarily to outshine other worshippers, and some others go to check out the trending styles, and not because of their love for God.

Chewing gum in the church
I believe chewing gum in the church would distract the chewer from concentrating on the message for the day.

Criticize the pastor
Some people go to church just to hear what the pastor has to say and look for the errors in his statement and start judging him. Well, the bible certainly said we should not judge anyone so that we would not be judged.

Pretend to drop money in the offering box
It is not a crime if you don't have anything to put in the offering box, but it becomes one when you pretend.
