Her comment comes at a time when many people have been openly questioning how modern churches operate.
Nyaboke said, “I am here wondering if money is the root of all evil, why do they ask for it in churches? swali tu na mnijibu polepole. msini shoutie na ni wiki ya bills.” She also asked her followers not to rough her up in the comments, explaining that she only wanted a calm response.
Her statement reflects a concern shared by many people who feel that modern-day Christianity has changed in ways that do not always sit well with them.
Over the years, some have said that churches have turned into business spaces rather than places of worship.
Questions around modern church practices
During the COVID period, churches across the country introduced paybill numbers to allow members to send their offerings and tithes while staying at home. While some believers saw this as a practical solution, many others felt uncomfortable with the idea. For them, the paybill system made churches feel more transactional, increasing the belief that money had become a central focus.
Nyaboke’s question adds to this ongoing concern. While her tone seemed light, it also showed that she was seriously looking for answers. Many people today say they stopped attending church because they feel the institution has shifted from spiritual guidance to financial demands.
Some believe that contributions have become a measure of commitment, leaving those who cannot afford to give feeling left out.
Nyaboke’s statement has pushed these thoughts into the open. Her message suggests that while people understand the need for churches to run their activities, they still struggle with the idea of money being heavily involved in spiritual spaces.
Whether her message was made in a light tone or not, it reflects the confusion many people face when trying to balance their faith with practices they do not fully understand.
