<\/p>\nOwolabi, who is the General Overseer of Christ Apostolic Church, Ori-oke Irapada, Omu-Aran, gave the warning during the church\u2019s Sunday sermon.<\/p>\n
He said that indecent dressing and other forms of immoral acts were now common among some Christians during church services and weddings, NAN reports.<\/p>\n
The cleric said it was the responsibility of every religious leader to lead by example.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf such immorality is allowed to thrive inside churches and in the full glare of religious leaders how can such be checked among students and other categories of youths?<\/p>\n
\u201cI think these indecent acts and immorality should totally be condemned and checked through our preachings and sermons.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore importantly, we need to be more practical about it in order to instill discipline among the younger ones before God our creator.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not only projecting our faith in bad light but more importantly our great country to the outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is disheartening to see these ungodly acts being perpetrated in the household of God; it\u2019s not projecting us as good and devoted Christians at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Owolabi also urged parents and guardians to be alive to their parental responsibility by giving their wards good moral upbringing.<\/p>\n
He expressed concern that most parents, guardians, teachers and counsellors have failed in their responsibility of shaping the lives of the youngers ones in the society.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of us are now preoccupied with our daily worldly gains, materials and survival to the detriment of our statutory responsibilities to humanity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have enough time for our children again and we hardly check on how they dress to churches and other events,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Owolabi also called on traditional rulers and other community leaders to step up their responsibility of ensuring a decent, upright and Godly society.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
