Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves?"(Mark 11:17)Jesus had just cleaned out His Father's house . . . His house. People were getting cheated in the house of God. Folks could not even give a worthy sacrifice because they were being swindled before they could even purchase a sacrifice. They were not getting an even exchange for their currency. What a time to examine our "house"! Today, it's more like we are cheating God! He is giving us His all everyday, yet we come into His house and offer minimal praise, a "tip" of an offering, and hardly any effort in labor. What would Jesus do if He walked into our homes and churches today? Would He turn it upside down?
"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Outreach Mission (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!
