Last Sunday Pastor Randy mentioned some scripture in Mark 11:15-17 that brought up a thought. First check out Mark 11:15-17

15On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17And 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."

After he read the scripture Sunday this is what I starting thinking about....what about the churches that have bookstores, coffee shops etc? What would Jesus' reaction be to all of it? Now, I don't have anything at all against this, after all I've bought Cd's and other items from churches I've visited before. Frankly I'm cool with it. It's just one of the many crazy thoughts I have from time to time. But do you think He would do the same as in Mark? Personally, I don't think He would, but I guess the purpose of posting this to hear other thoughts and opinions. I'm very curious right now. And on another note...why don't we see many pictures of the events that took place in Mark 11:15-17? Jesus over turning tables and stuff! Peace out folk's....
