“but you make it a den of robbers” (Mt 21:13, ESV).
Here is a danger in innovation, efficiency, and so-called progress. It is possible to turn a house of prayer into a place of thieves, even in the name of Kingdom stewardship.
A little pragmatism here and some capitalism there, add a dash of materialism so we can accomplish our goals, and we may one day see Jesus at the door with whip in hand.
Here is a danger. Beware. Let’s make sure we know what we are talking about when it comes to a biblical stewardship of innovation and then work the field from there.
