Scripture: John 2:13-17

In John 2:13-17 at the very beginning of Jesus ministry He turned water into wine. Then we read that He went to the temple. What did He do when He saw the money-changers. He wove three cords into a whip. He makes His own weapon and He confronted and drove out the money changers. The way most leaders have taught the turn-the-other-cheek principle, we have made Jesus a violator of His Own Word. We have taught it erroneously and out of context. The truth is satan took us to church and he preached us a message and he made us passive in the face of evil and the fruit of it has been the peril of a nation. That is obvious. What does it take for the church to begin to wake up and say we made a mistake? How about believing Scripture! How about balancing out the Word? Would that do it? It would certainly mark a needed change!
