The American way of religion is like a buffet; we think that WE can pick and choose how we worship God. God, on the other hand, notes that his creatures must worship him in a manner that is acceptable to him. God set apart the Levites to guard and serve the priests and the tabernacle, to guard his holy presence and to guard the holiness of who He is.

Today, Jesus alone enables us to come into God’s presence (1 Pet 3:18), the Church now being his Temple (1 Cor 3:16-17). We, the Church, must see the importance of  guarding and serving God’s holy presence.
