Would the Lord, who loves them, willingly accept them?

Perhaps right now, pastors are praying to God, asking for His grace, saying,

"Have mercy on us," while at the same time, when they actually worship God,

they are doing so with impure and vile hearts.

If this is the case, they are defiling the Lord.

Would the Lord, who loves them,

willingly accept them and embrace such worship?

(Ref.: Malachi 1:7-9).
