 When God Rejects Your Version of Worship
 Matthew 21:13
The temple was full,
but God was not pleased.
Everything looked right.
Structure. Activity. Religion.
But heaven does not measure worship
by how it appears,
only by what it truly is.
So Jesus disrupts it.
Not gently.
Not symbolically.
He overturns it.
Because there are things
we have called “normal”
that God calls “unacceptable.”
And sometimes the most loving thing God can do
is tear down what we built
in His name.
It is possible to be busy in church
and still be far from God.
