changers of money sitting And when he had made a
scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of
the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen and
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the
tables And said unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence make not my Father's house an
house of merchandise. And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up.

2 Samuel 2424
I will surely buy it of thee at a price neither
will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God
of that which doth cost me nothing.
17
I would like to buy 3.00 worth of
God, please. Not enough to explore my soul or
disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup
of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I want
ecstasy, not transformation I want the warmth of
the womb, not a new birth. I want a
pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.
I would like to buy 3.00 worth of God, please.
18
Psalm 699
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up and
the reproaches of them that reproached thee are
fallen upon me.
