Consider what Jesus said to the woman at the well in John 4:21-24: “an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father”. Most believers read that as either and or, but it’s neither and nor. In fact, the Greek word can just as well be translated not. If there were a Dr. Seuss version that scripture it would read “you will not worship here, you will not worship there, you will not worship anywhere”.

So what does God want from us? Stop prostituting and prostrating ourselves, get out of the pig pens of our servitude and make haste our coming home to God, where He will greet us as sons, stand us up and introduce us to His household. He’ll clothe us with a robe (all who are baptized in Christ are clothed with Christ), place sandals on our feet the family ring our finger! God wants SONS who will stand up and be counted – who will embrace their complete inheritance in Christ – not worshipers of the prostrating / physical in the flesh type common in ‘houses of worship’ today.
