'Stop Turning My Father's House Into A Marketplace.'
John 2:16.
a) Then,
b) Going over to the people who sold doves,
c) He told them:
d) "Get these things out of here.
e) "Stop turning My Father's House into a market place!"
(This QT reminds me that God does not like His Church to be like a Marketplace)
PRAY: To repent of and reject all marketeering inside the Church.

'Take It Up.'
a) Matthew 9:6; Mark 2:9 & 11. Your bed, you are forgiven and healed.

d) Luke 5:24. Your bed and go back to your house.
(Through this Second one I am encouraged to Take It Up)
PRAY: To follow Jesus well.

Chris.
The Christian Church should never be like a market place. If people have things to sell, their sales should take place totally outside of the Church environment. So many problems have taken place within the Church because of selling and buying things. We should clearly heed the Words of Jesus Christ and not turn His Church into a market place.
