CHURCHES & CHAPELS

“Heaven then is not like this world; I will say what it is much more like, - a church… Here we hear solely and entirely of God. We praise Him, worship Him, sing to Him, thank Him, confess to Him, give ourselves up to Him, and ask His blessing. And therefore, a church is like heaven; viz. because both in the one and the other, there is one single sovereign subject - religion - brought before us.”
