There is no
doubt Jesus frowns on the way some churches market themselves today. Prayer, worship
and teaching often take a back seat to programs, expansion projects and
productions. It occurs to me that COVID-19 restrictions placed on today’s church
may have a similar effect to that of Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers
in the temple. “Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying
and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the
benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to
them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer, ‘but you are making it
a ‘den of robbers’” (Matt 21:12 NIV).
