Justification again. Rears its ugly head on a regular basis here. Enjoy your beautiful surroundings. Be impressed with yourselves. Think God is impressed. Praise the building funds. Make your church the biggest, best and prettiest it can be. Come together and rejoice in your building. Declare it worthy of God. Feel holy. Eat, drink and be merry.
I believe that post violates more than a few of the forum’s guidelines.
For us Church is different - I think even Beauty is different, at least Beauty in Church.
I wonder if Jesus came to your house, would you bring out your best? If you believed in the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, would you take it to Denny’s?
You do not understand the differences in our view of Church. So you inferred motives stand in stark error to us.
