IF

When church leaders say, "Stop putting the churche's and leader's business out there." What that means is that they want to continue with business as usual. Jesus, throughout Scripture, demonstrated that He wasn't into business as usual (Matthew 21:12-13, John 7:53–8:11, Matthew 23); he was about his Father's business (Luke 2:41-52). From just those passages of the Scriptures, we see that Jesus started his ministry not to the world but in and to the Temple/the synagogue/the church and to the leader/elders, one of full disclosure. Even Paul admonished young pastor Timothy to do so, saying those leaders who persist in sin, to deceive to rebuke them in the presence of all so that the rest may stand in fear (1 Timothy 5:20). This is even revealed and evident in 2 Chronicles 7, where God tells Solomon what will happen if His people, those who are called by His name get right with Him that in verse 14 how if they do that reconstruction of the community/land will happen. Then, in verses 16-22, what will happen if leaders (King Solomon) get right with God, the impact it will have on the house/the Church/the body of believers, how that will be reconstructed into the glory house and leaders He intended it to be and have. But if Solomon (leaders)refuses to follow God but instead goes in the way of self, selfishness, self-indulgence, self-will, self-ambition, and greed, if they turn away from sound doctrine and worshipping creation over the Creator, God will demolish the very place He created. In other words, if Solomon, if leaders don't get right, God will reject the temple/the church that He has set apart in His Name and make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. The Church and country's destiny all henges on 'If,' the choice is our's, destruction or reconstruction.

The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.~Haggai 2:9
