Sanctuary-House of Worship

We speak about sanctuary, the holy House of God, the house of prayer, praise and worship, the house where the faithful gather to honour and thank God.


The Sanctuary of a house of Worship must be respected, revered and protected.

God is one and Father to all. He does not judge which way, which path, mankind prefers to take, in their journey home to Him....The Supreme and Almighty God, ....by whichever name you called Him .. The word "Foreigner, Outsider" has no  place in a house of worship and prayer. We are one in God. We are all brothers and sisters.The Act of Giving  is synonymous with God -charity has no name, face,  colour, nor creed. We give in the name of love. Helping the needy, does not require them to convert....There is no need for that. We are their refuge , a pillar in their hour of need. A FRIEND ....If there is a cry for help, can the church turn them away just because of religion? That would be inhumane. The Lord  has shown us what love is, that is give and  to expect nothing in return - love others ....

In His wisdom, The Lord has also advised...."Render unto Caesar, the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" Matthew 22.21. It is a lesson there, ....faith and religion is  a very sensitive thing...yes, I would even termed it revered. We do not encroached into our brother's religious beliefs, observances and reservations,  it is the law and we have only the deepest respect for that...after all ,we are all possessive about our  own faith and belief ......ALL that is  asked is that  due   respect is given to our  Sanctuaries of Worship...ALL places of Worship......and we ask it in the name of  LOVE, HARMONY, TOLERANCE and BROTHERHOOD...

PEACE, BROTHERS!
