His Church

"Jesus entered the temple courts 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"- Matthew 21:12 (NIV). 

Matthew, Mark and John tell the story of Jesus being unhappy with the activities within the church and taking action to stop it. There are churches bending to the will of today's culture, but we, His church, aren't to conform to this world. We are to seek and discern the will of God to find out what is good and acceptable to Him (Romans 12:2). His church is intended for teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ (Acts 5:42). We are to bring our hymns, lessons, revelations, and gifts when we come together to glorify God, to strengthen His church (1 Corinthians 14:26). We know how the household of God ought to behave. We are to remain a pillar and buttress of the Truth in today's world (1 Timothy 3:15). Watch for those who may cause divisions, who create obstacles contrary to sound doctrine, and avoid them (Romans 16:17). Christ will not sit by and watch. He will, again, drive out those of His church who choose to conform to this world.
