“North American Christianity is religion without reverence. . . . We can ask ourselves whether we have been lured into the seats of the moneychangers. We can ask God to show us the motives in our hearts in any matter where money has to do with the sacred person of our Lord and God. If the Holy Spirit shows us we are in any way involved in desecration, we can quit. There may be financial loss. There may be embarrassment. But there will be refreshment and renewal in our lives. We are not ourselves called to plait a whip of cords. Our rage is not called for, only our repentance.”
John White, The Golden Cow (Downers Grove, 1979), pages 132-135.
