They should prepare their heart before entering the church . No anger, no boast and humbly ourself b4 God . It’s The meaning to go to church, some people lost the meaning and they just enter the building without a spirit to worship.

They never respect anyone's holy religious places other than their own.

Paying respects to the Israeli overlords
