What does the Bible say about indifference to God's house?

Answered in 1 source

Indifference to God's house is rebuked in Haggai, where the people prioritized their own comforts over the worship of God.

In Haggai 1:4, the prophet confronts the people of Judah about their indifference, highlighting their comfort in their own homes while the house of God lay in ruins. This reflects a profound spiritual issue where personal interests overshadow divine priorities. The people had been waiting for the right time to rebuild the temple, using the prophecy of Jeremiah about the 70 years of exile as an excuse for their inaction. Haggai challenges this reasoning, asserting that their true problem was a lack of commitment to God's glory and worship, a theme echoed in Matthew 6:33, urging believers to seek first the kingdom of God.
