1 | is selling in a church building fine? | John 2:13 | justme | 59458 | ||
Edb:I like much of what you said. Lots of food for thought. I have a thought, and wonder how you would respond. When I go to any Christian Book store CBD or the small town type, they have such a mish mash of autors that come from such wide range of perspectives. WOF over here and Liberal over here and the consistancy is no where to be found. As we know unless you are up to speed with who is who you can be led astray pretty easy. If a church had it's own book store, with wise leadership that could be a real help to growing Christians. That would be if the church is large enough. If the church is small then a book list would be well worth while, if the person was well grounded to make up such a list. I could see the list being on a back table for people to pick up. However if the church was large enough, hours could be set to not interfer with worship or other services. Just a thought, I came up with to make it more interesting on how to help churches grow Christians more in line with correct theology. I could see no reason this would be considered merchandising, if done in a mannor that does not effect Sunday worship. agape. justme |

Justme You said you were a pastor I believe, then you know the biggest problem facing the church today is getting the people to read their Bibles. I understand and appreciate the need for other authors and such, but where the church needs to put it's focus and main emphasis is on the Word of God and Bible reading not a book store. The church has been diverted on too many "sounds good things" and the main issue, the main purpose has gotten lost. the Church's main purpose was not to sell books or to even promote "good" Christian authors the church's purpose is to worship God and to equip the saints to do the work of the Lord.

It's a pleasure, EdB, to say hello to you once more. And I applaud what you have had to say about the Christian's duty to read God's word. I know a troubling number of professing Christians who would have a nervous fit if they missed a single book in the "Left Behind" series or the latest Stephen King or John Grisham thriller, but who, many of them, go for days on end without feeding on the word of life, the Holy Bible. If the bodies of some believers were deprived of nourishment to the extent that their spirits are, they would become weak and feeble physically. One can only guess at the condition of their spiritual lives. --Hank | ||||||
