“He was teaching them: ‘Is it not written, My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves!’” (v. 17)

It’s not about checking boxes.

It’s not about satisfying preferences.

It’s not about receiving religious goods and services.

The worship gathering isn’t about any of these things. And, if we slide into that, don’t expect the Lord to leave our furniture in place.

Instead, keep worship in the church purposed for what it has to be about.

It has to be about magnifying the Head of Household’s worth.

It has to be about prayer.

It has to be about welcoming your neighbors and the nations.

Is your church on target—or is it bound to be overturned?
