Decoration in the church can be used to glorify God. You wouldn't wear a T-shirt and ripped pair of jeans when meeting the queen of England or some other well-known political figure. You would wear your nicest clothes. It's an act of respect. Decoration in the church can be viewed in much the same way. After all, God created beauty and has placed a desire in every human being's heart to behold beauty. Passages in Revelation are full of vivid descriptions of the beauty of heaven. Gold, rainbows and precious stones are amongst heaven's ornaments. While decoration in the church appeals to the soul's desire for beauty and gives us but a glimpse of what's to come, in can be a hindrance to some. Some people may find the decorations to be a distraction. They get so caught up in the beauty of the robes worn by the priest or the ornateness of the altar that they forget why they are even at church. They are too busy staring with awe at the elegance of the icons painted above the preacher's head that they are oblivious to what he is saying. Decorations in the church are important for making us aware of the majesty of God, but we have to be careful not to focus on the decorations, but rather hear the message that is preached.

Why don't Baptist churches have decoration?
Baptist churches are autonomous therefore it depends on the individual congregation. I have attended some churches that fear that if the church is decorated that there might be an icon misconstrued as an idol. The Catholic church has icons that assist in remembering the saints and prayers. The use of any figure is an individual choice.
