In Africa Traditional religion, once a place is dedicated to the worship of a particular god, that place has become sacred and everybody will treat it so.
I really don’t understand what Christianity is turning to and what the followers of this religion are up to.
I wonder what would have been Jesus’ reaction if he was a guest at that occasion, but I can guess what he would have done because he had reacted before in a similar situation in the Bible days.
I am not opposed to matters of public interest, morality and ethics being taught from our sacred platforms, but it should be for the welfare of the souls of human on a pilgrimage to heaven. Such should be laced with love and truth and never with falsehood.
The lamentable condition, indeed crisis of our day is a situation where irreverence and duplicity are not only tolerated but celebrated in the pew and the pulpit. The famous Jesus’s table-turning reaction then need to be replayed, so that it will generates at least momentary stir afresh, or better still let us reecho his cutting reprimands “MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER”.
The church of the living God, the Christian church is not a commercial or political get-up-and-go, where people come with any commodity or concept to sell at will. We are aware of the burning economic environment and how vulnerable the church may seems to be, but I think is the church of men that are subjecting themselves and caving under the seeming pressure not the church of the living God. The church of the living God is not known for compromise and falsehood.
Let us check, are we gaining attention for carnality and political bingo night or incarnational living?
When you desecrate the worship of God with white-washed greed and selfish interest, you will destroy what this temple is and you will expose it to the wrath of God. I will not inconvenience you my cherish reader with Bible verses you are well acquainted with about the sacredness of the house of God and what should be done or said there.
HABA! IGEDE CHRISTIANS, may e be say, all we dey hear no be true!!!
