Mark 11:17 "Then He taught, saying to them, 'Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves.' "
Jesus was quoting from the prophets, Jeremiah and Isaiah, to get His point across. Den of thieves refers to the practice of cheating people either through a crooked exchange of money, or by selling inferior products. When Jesus saw the men selling things in the Temple, He rebuked them.
Let's be encouraged to make our own homes into houses of prayer. Let's not allow the temptations of this world to get into our homes and steal our peace. As we dedicate our homes to the Lord, He will surely bless them!
