“Ye Have Said That Ye Could Not Worship Your God Because Ye Are Cast out of Your Synagogues”

Bryan Richards

The Lord has taught us, they that worship [God] must worship him in spirit and truth (Jn 4:24). He did not say "they that worship God must worship him in the synagogue." God is not impressed with man's attempts to honor his name with the building of places of worship. Even the temples of God are insufficient edifices compared to the grandeur of God. Speaking of the temple he was to build, Solomon expressed this concept as follows, who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him an house? (2 Chron 2:6) Therefore, we should be concentrating on worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth wherever we are, not just in church.
