Behavior In The Sanctuary

Part I:
Behavior in the Church. Who should take ~Responsibility FOR Leading~ the congregation in learning and enforcing the *Behavior* of ~ALL~ that enter into God’s House of Prayer for The Purpose of Worship unto the LORD?
There are a group of ladies, and a group of men that gather over in the corner and whisper about so`n`so for coming to Church wearing short shorts, backless strapless or string tops, BUT no one addresses this verbally…
No one wants to hurt feelings by exhorting a fellow member in the way they should dress, act, talk, walk, *Conduct* themselves as leaders in The Church and before the children and the entire congregation… SOOOOoooo….
The poor ignorant soul that hasn’t the decency to cover their own body before entering into God’s House of Prayer, thinks that they are showing the folks, as they do the people of the world how hot they are… The sad thing IS this is people who have been Baptized before the congregation as “Followers” of Christ…laid claim to a firm belief in Christ, leaders in the Church, and yet they have not the soundness of mind to realize that they are not setting a good example as a claimed child of God…. IN Fact, they are demeaning the attitude toward God by taking on the look of a harlot of the world…. What position do we put the whole congregation in that sits in the same building to worship with us IF we look like and act like a harlot?)
(Revelation 2:20).. “Because thou sufferest (Allow) that woman ~Jezebel~ , which calleth herself a prophetess, to ~Teach~ and to seduce MY servants” Read verses 21-22 also &
(I Corinthians 6:15)… “Know ye ~not~ that your bodies ~ARE~ members of Christ? Shall I then take the ~Members of Christ~, and make the members of Christ as harlots? … God forbid!
(I Corinthians 3:16-17) … Know ye ~NOT~ that ye ~ARE~ the *Temple of God*, and that THE Spirit of God dwelleth in you? *IF* any man defile The Temple of God, him God ~~WILL~~ Destroy; for the Temple of God IS Holy, which temple ye are……
… (IF we are not looking to be as a harlot, why on earth would we dress and act like one?)
Did Jesus run around uncovered? One of the examples Jesus set, as separating the sheep from the goats, for His followers was: (Matthew 25:31-46).. As you have done unto the least of them ye have done also unto me… So the ones that are whispering about the naked, rather than clothing them with good exhortation in God’s Written Word, might think about consequences as in the reading of these verses….
Did not God make Adam and Eve coats of skins to *Cover* their bodies before sending them out of the Garden?… (Genesis 3:21)… HE did not send them out of the Garden TO Run naked through the world… BUT TO BE CLOTHED!
What was one of the signs that the man in Gadarenes was possessed of the ~legion of demons~? (Luke 8:27).. He wore no clothes….
IT IS Easy to dismiss an exhortation in Christ, as just an old jealous person who is envious of a sexy body.. Especially *IF* that IS the reason that one is uncovering their flesh to be viewed by others… That sorta fits into the same category of the folks who walk around with their pants pulled down to their knees so that folks can view their dirty disgusting underwear…
Where HAS Decency Gone?
The first word of defense heard IS, “Well, *IF* ~you~ don’t like IT, then you ain’t gotta look at IT!” Point missed? God gave us ~~ALL~~ eyes to see, and HE gave us, well some of us, The good sense to realize that: our bodies represent HIS Temple, and IT Should BE ~Dressed and Cared FOR~ In A Manner pleasing unto God, not the foul ways of the world led by Satan and the demons!
(I Corinthians 6:19)… “WHAT? Know ye NOT that ~~Your~~ body IS THE *Temple* OF: THE Holy Ghost which IS IN you, WHICH *IS* OF God, &AND& ye ~ARE NOT~ your own?”… (There IS NOT Room for the arrogant attitude of: “I’ll do what I Please with ~MY~ Body”, anymore *IF* you have declared before the world to follow Jesus Christ The Son of The Living God… IT Doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, you are obligated to Conduct yourselves accordingly, AS IT IS Written!) WHY?
(I Corinthians 6:20) .. “You ~ARE Bought~ with a price: therefore glorify God IN Your Body, AND IN your spirit, which ARE Gods.”
That Price with which you are bought IS The Blood of Jesus Christ the Son of The Living God, poured out at Calvary for our sin that we can be free to approach the Great Throne of God in the Name of And Through HIS Son Jesus Christ, led BY THE Holy Ghost… AND we haven’t the decency to cover our bodies and conduct ourselves in a manner of holiness before the world even IN The House of Prayer where people are gathered to ~Learn of God, Have HIS Written Word Read and Taught unto them and to Offer songs of Praise and Prayers of Thanksgiving unto our Eternal Maker IN Jesus Name…
What DID Paul state?… TO Glorify God IN our body and spirit…? IS IT really to glorify God when we parade our half naked bodies into the Church and sing songs of happy fleshly births and anniversaries to each other, in praise of our accomplishments… ? Dancing, gyrating our bodies, to be seen of others as great? OR IS IT TO be praised of each other? Think about IT! Look IN The Mirror of holiness… What IS Holy… and judge yourself, so that others won’t have to warn you of the mire that is being cast before and displayed in THE Church….
(I Corinthians 11:31).. “For *IF* we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.”
