The House of the LORD is a sacred entity, a sovereign place where we gather together. All of us must be careful not to destroy that image of all the nations flowing to it because of that holiness. (Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 17:26). It is the difference, the holiness, the highness that makes God so attractive, not whether He is able to perform miracles and pull things out of His hat or that He can be portrayed as Bozo or a bafoon. Men like Jeremiah gave up much for Him. That appears foolish but nonetheless all will be saved if they follow God's teachings. Hezekiah in Isaiah 37.14 knew the seriousness and solemnity of worship to God and his attitude was that same way. He brought his concerns to God, to His altar. And there will not always be those that agree. Some have accepted the style of life that led to bringing an "anything goes" attitude with the church and those tend to proclaim their right of expression. (Jeremiah 20:1,2; Jeremiah 26:2, 7) and it soon becomes apparent that we cannot tell who is of God and who is not. (Jeremiah 28:1,5). The House of the LORD is always something to be cherished, and many times men make it into a den of theives with their greed and polity. The only way to really come back is a humble succession. (Jeremiah 41:5)
