Adulterating the Church

Strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.
 Jeremiah 51:51

 "In this account the faces of the Lord's people 
were covered with shame, 
for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude 
into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone. 

Everywhere about us we see like cause for sorrow. 
How many ungodly men are now educating with the view of entering into the ministry! 
How fearful it is that ordinances should be pressed upon the unconverted, 
and that among the more enlightened churches of our land there should be such laxity of discipline. 
 To adulterate the Church is to pollute a well, 
to pour water upon fire
to sow a fertile field with stones
 Our zeal must, however, begin at home. 
Let us examine ourselves 
as to our right to eat at the Lord's table
Let us see to it that we have on our wedding garment, 
lest we ourselves be intruders in the Lord's sanctuaries. 
Many are called, but few are chosen; 
the way is narrow, and the gate is strait."
Charles Spurgeon
