" I remembered reading that Christ had to purify the temple first. After he’d cleared away all the debris that was not supposed to be there, He could make it a house of prayer where people from all backgrounds and circumstances could come to pray. As the people began to pray, God turned His house into a house of power where He could heal the sick and deliver the troubled in heart. That power would then quite naturally draw praise and thanksgiving from the people, making it a house of praise. Upon reflection, these four steps—purity, prayer, power, and praise—are essential if we are going to see God’s glory revealed in the Church today. "
