This House, this Earth, is holy ... keep it holy

Morning: Psalm 45; Deuteronomy 9:4-12; Hebrews 3:1-11

Evening: Psalms 47, 48; John 2:13-22

Mona and I are watching ‘Scandal’ on Netflix. The real scandal is that ‘the House’ (The White House) is the focus of everyone’s desire and longing. Every scandal is connected to people’s lust for power in the most powerful nation on earth. Jesus throws the moneychangers out of ‘his Father’s house’ (the temple) because they have made that sacred place a marketplace. Isn’t the whole earth God’s ‘House’, God’s ‘temple’? So, all trading in influence here that is solely for our own profit - in government or temple - desecrates this Earth, this holy House. We must keep it holy.
