    Matthew 21:12-13 (NIV):

    12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

    They are quick to point out that Jesus’ issue was that it was happening inside of the temple. He didn’t seem to have a problem with it otherwise.

      There’s a church near me with a very popular coffee shop and gift shop in it (they’re super close to the local park).
