YOUR CHURCH
Today's reading: Matthew 21-22
"Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the merchants and their customers. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the stalls of those selling doves. He said, The Scriptures declare, My Temple will be called a place of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of thieves!" Matthew 21:12-13 NLT
Does Jesus need to do some 'cleaning house' in your church?
Are there some things He needs to set right?
Could it be your place of prayer has become more a palace of popularity?
We are to hear His Word preached--and sometimes that Word hurts. Pricks. Causes us pain. Makes us uncomfortable. Leads us to make huge changes. Brings about confession from sin.
Has your house of God become a visitation rather than a commitment?
We are to make a commitment to attending. To supporting it. To working in it. To building it up. And friend, that isn't dependent upon the season of the year, the busy season at work or the holiday we are currently in.
Has your church become a social gathering?
Fellowship is so important in a church. SO important! But when we forget that church is about God, His worship, learning about Him, hearing from Him, spending time with Him, praising Him, we turn His house into something He never intended it to be.
Maybe it's time we invited Jesus in to set things right?
