Should the place of worship where Jesus is present be kept un-beautiful?

Jesus is with me 24/7 and I'm not a really good looking guy. I worship Him all day long.

I think there is a human desire to build large beautiful churches not so much to honor Jesus Christ, but to project status and authority.

Perhaps if you built them this would be your motive. If I were tasked with creating a space for the Body of Christ, the Communion of Saints and the presence of Our Lord I would create a beautiful and awesome space - as much so as God allowed it to come through me. I would pray that He would allow me to be His instrument in creating a sacred and holy space for the worship of The Most Holy Trinity.

AMEN! WE are the temple in which the Holy Spirit lives!

1Cor 6:9 Do you not know that your body is a TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
