Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices. He said to them, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be a house of prayer', but you have turned it into a den of thieves." Luke 19:45-46 NLT It's Monday, and Jesus is back in Jerusalem after Palm Sunday's triumphal entry. The city will be full of people and more coming in. And Jesus turns up the heat. Yes the people have welcomed me as a political hero, but I have authority everywhere. And especially here at the very heart of your culture. At the centre of authority within the community. The temple is at the core. And I have authority here. This Easter week he much more gently asks about my core, and what tables need overturning, what needs to be turfed out? What have I allowed to take residence in my heart that Jesus would kick out? #easter #thecore #whoisincharge

Friday! Proverb! As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit, so workers who protect their employer's interests will be rewarded. Proverbs 27:18 NLT This is about being diligent at work...work hard, look out for your bosses interests & rewards will come...& this is generally true :) But at another level...if the employer is God - what are his interests? Yes the planet. But more importantly people. Especially lost people. Especially marginalised people Especially the hurt, lonely, poor, discarded... So when we look after His interests... So do good work for your earthly boss...but look out for your Heavenly Father's interests too :) #proverbs #wisdom #somethingtochewon #whoisyourrealboss #lovepeople
