Crazy as it may seem, I enjoy exposing the lies and deception of CCF pastors. I have taken it as my mission in life to expose pastors in general for the fraud that they are. For this particular blog, I wish to tackle the issue of honoring God with an edifice.The pastors of CCF have collected billions of pesos from their followers to erect a worship center that they intend to honor and glorify God with.
1 Kings 8:27
But will God really dwell on earth ? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built.
The verse clearly indicates that an edifice is not enough to contain God's greatness. It is not enough to define and house God.
1 Corinthians 6:20
you were brought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
The two verses in Corinthians indicate that people's actions honor God. It is what people do that give honor and glory to God. Thus, it is important that one gives his best in whatever he does to bring glory and honor to God.
Now, the question remains. Is exhorting people to give money for an edifice a way to honor and glorify God ? As the above verses indicate, good works honor and glorify God. Inanimate objects like money and expensive worship centers do not. So much so if the objects become the source of a distorted view of God. It is what people do out of the goodness of their hearts that truly glorify and honor God.
