What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, as God said, "I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
The issue at the time was trying to prevent the congregation from falling back into idolatry. We have different idols now, but they are still there. That's the bad news.
The good news, however, is the relationship God has in mind, for us and with us. God will be within us and without us. God will walk with us, to Jerusalem, or wherever it is we walk (this coming week, weather permitting, I will be walking in Shagaluk, Grayling, and Anvik). God will welcome us wherever we are. God is our parent, and we are God's daughters and sons.
