Nehemiah, chapter 10, verses 32-39 records several promises of upkeep for the operations of the temple, assuring that fires are kept burning, sacrifices are made, and priests are supported. Those verses end with the statement, “We will not neglect the house of our God.” Fine, but will God be neglected? Will the people care for one another?
We might well ask similar questions of our religious institutions today. Are we caring only for God’s “house?” Are we reverencing God? Are we treating one another well?
