The Most High Does Not Dwell in Temples Made With Hands

The Most High Does Not Dwell in Temples Made With Hands

Just before St. Stephen was martyred, he laid out how the Temple had become the focus of Hebrew worship and then he proclaimed "However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: 'Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the LORD, or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?'" (Acts 7:48-50)

Our dependence on a prescribed time and place to do church is an impediment to authentic relationships that should exist outside the four walls of the church building. That dependence on a prescribed time and place for worship also hinders our fully experiencing the Living creator of the Universe on a daily basis.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)

You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ... you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:5 & 9)


Peace, Love and Light!
