The whole earth is the worshipping house

The whole earth is the house of God. He said, “My house shall be a house of prayer.” (Is. 56:7). The whole world is holy and is the place of worship and prayer. Men and women who really know God do worship and pray to God not only inside of a house of prayer but they do worship and pray wherever they are. Every place on the earth is where the people can worship God in truth and Spirit (John 4:24). One who treks on the surface of the land, travels by plane and even when landing on the moon he or she can worship God and pray too Him any where. The new heart is new every where. Christ said, “You are the salt of the earth” (Mat. 5:13-14). If a lump of salt is put in a cooking pot all ingredients will get salted. His disciples are said to be the light of the world.
A light put in a house is meant for the whole house. A man or woman who is purchased with the shed blood of Jesus and is filled with the Spirit of Christ is salt and light wherever he or she is and whatever he or she does.
Christ is the only hope of men and women to go to heaven and he is the only hope of the world because through him only man can become salt and light of the earth. No political ideology whether democracy or autocracy is the hope of the world. A God-fearing and good quality of man is a good leader and good leadership is the hope of the people. Whatever may be the political ideology or system, if the politics falls into the hand of an atheistic dictator, the people will be in earthly hell. So good governance depends on good man. But the people in general become more and more senseless in election and cast their votes under the influence of money.
The full time servants of God in whatever capacity cannot be expected to concentrate their time in politics or in any areas of social matters but can a real servant of God be a saint in the church but is unconcerned about the diabolical activities in the surroundings? Even if injustice is prevailing in the land, should a servant of God remain a silent spectator? Can a servant of God have a peaceful sleep when misleading of the people, inhuman and anti-social activities are prevailing? When the people in general are under the influence of hatred and bitterness, should the servants of God be taken afloat by the current of the masses?
The believers of Christ who behave as saints in the church have to maintain the same behaviour every where, in any situation and under any circumstance and should have the conviction that the whole earth is the place of worship, prayer and serving God.
