It is not circumfcribed
It is not circumfcribed by any local diftinftions. By its principles, there is no place on the earth, peculiarly facred, to which we are to repair to offer up our facrifices, or to dired our prayers. Diana had a temple at Ephefus j Apollo at Delphi ; Jupiter in the Capitol j and Mahomet at Mecca. Thefe were places in the opinion of their votaries peculiarly facred, and to which, on all important occafions, their true worfhippers were bound to repair. Even the Jewifh worfhip was greatly reftri&ed;by local diftin&ions;. From the moft diftant parts of Judea, devout people were commanded to repair once a year, to worfhip God at Jerufalem. And in whatever quarter tory burch outlet of the world a Jew was, at certain parts pf the fervice, he was to turn himfelf toward the centre of their wor? Ihip, their facred and magnificent temple.But the God of the Chriftians can be worfhipped in all places. The MBT univerfe is his temple, and he, fills heaven and earth with his prefence: and the true worfhippers muft worfhip MBT Shoes Clearance him in fpirit and in truth. By this principle, it is MBT Shoes an univerfal religion, evidently intended for all mankind. Nothing fo well fhews the fpiritual nature of the gofpel fervice, and its univerfal extent, than its deftru&ion;of all local fan&ity;. Men have made many additions to the plain commands of Chrift; but all thefe are marks of bondage and inconfiftent with thqfpirit of his religion. Social worfhip is tory burch shoes abfolutely aeceffary for the fuppor of religion ; and regular and ftated times fet apart for thefe folemn fervices. Churches and temples, tory burch flats convenient and decent places for the purpofes of focial worlhip become indifpenCable, and have been fupported in all ages of the Chriftian church. But on the other hand we ought tory burch sale to guard againft the abufe of fuch places. Being taught to pay particular honours to churches and to temples, is to affix to the works of men, to tones and the various decorations of idolatry, that honour which belongs only to the Supreme. The heaven of heavens cannot contain him; the heavens are his throne, this earth his footftool; he fills, the whole univerfe.
