Applauding Speakers or Singers

‘Speakers or singesrs should never be applauded in the house of God, for it is honoring the flesh and has no place in the worship of Jehovah. “How can ye believe which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor which cometh from God only?” Jesus asked. John 5:44. He is a jealous God, and will not give His glory to another. “Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?” 1 Cor. 10:22. The house of God is the place to honor and worship God and God alone.’
