Well...I decided to do some comparisons on the Church of Now(modern day pentecostal churches) and Church of old( as in Orthodox churches). Based on my observations, here's my top 10 findings#Enjoy

(1)* Church of old has probably a service or two and the service is usually very long( 3 hours or more).
* Church of Now has several services like three or more and service period is short( 2 hours maximum).

(2)* Church of old is less colourful with the same predictable robing of ministers and choristers.
* Church of Now is more colourful- choristers are unpredictable with different apparels every Sunday.The ushers to the greeters to the information crew to the musical band are all fashionistas.

(3)* Church of old sermon centers on repentance and salvation.
* Church of Now preach more on prosperity and progress.

(4)*Church of old is usually solemn and "boring"...you could find people dozing of during service and those in the pulpit are not excluded.
* Church of Now is full of hype as swagga is "three" much. Apparently,there are video guys videoing you so you can not afford to be caught sleeping#You should be at your best to appear cute on T.V,abi?

(5)*Church of old  does not give room for anyhow dressing-women uncovering their hairs,guys plaiting their hair,women wearing trousers, people having  tattoos,ladies wearing make up,guys piercing their ears and all are not allowed.
* Church of Now-"everything goes" according to Gbenga Adenuga popular track.God is more interested in the heart of man than physical appearance.

(6)* Church of old church is mostly filled with older couples and the elderly.
*Church of Now is more like a single and teenage ministry.This section of people form the bulk of the church population.

(7)*Church of old sing hymns(Wow...those hymns are wonderful-God bless the composers!! ) and make confessions from prayer books.
* Church of Now prefer to go the contemporary way,songs are from different genres-rock, high life, rap,blues, afrojuju, afrobeats, raggae...you name it. They even infuse 'shaku shaku' dance into praise and worship.

(8)*Church of old has several offering collections-building,covenant seed,sunday offering,tithe,family altars,Mothers offering,charity offering,birthday offering,monthly offering,family harvest offering,communion offering,community offering,widows mite,it goes on...
*Church of Now has just one or two offerings and that's all.

(9)* Church of old does not really make use of P.O.S machines.They have not gone cashless.Remember they are church of old so they do not rely on modern methods.
* Church of Now has gone with the trend.The use of P.O.S machines and ATM has been made readily available to their worshipers.

(10)* Church of old does holy communion almost every Sunday.
* Church of Now does not do holy communion services frequently.
