God bless!

                Have you ever gone to lay in your bed with a pair of muddy sneakers? Have you ever opened the sunroof on your car when it was pouring outside? Have you ever stopped and glanced at cars as they drove fast towards you? Of course not! Why am I saying all of this? Because there is a time and a place for everything in this life and we would never mix certain things together. The verse today talks about mixing the House of God with business, don't do it! I've known many people during my many years in ministry as a leader or even as a simple member that have truly destroyed churches because of their desire to make a quick buck. Do you know any? People who could take advantage of single mothers, low income families, immature adults, etc. there is no room in church for this type of action and Jesus shared this same sentiment. In fact He shared it so much that He got physical to prove the point.

In life there must be certain areas we retain as sacred and the House of God should be the highest on our list to maintain this way. Am I lecturing today? I hope none of us take it that way but at the end of the day we all have to respect His house for what it is, HIS HOUSE! Would we go into a court with a hat on and a drink in our hand? Would we talk on a cell phone during a court case? Would we go to a funeral and allow our kids to jump and scream? (don't go their Pastor.) I'm sure we all know the answer to these questions.

Preparing to turn the tables,

Pastor Joell A. Perez

Mark 11:17 "And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: ?My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it ?a den of robbers."
