There are so many things going on in the churches today that are not of Christ. Idolatrous articles like, soaps, water, oil, salt, handkerchiefs and many more things as points of contacts between Christ and His saints.
Expensive decorations on the altars of Christ, this nothing but using the altars of Christ as their living rooms, fornications, adulteries.
