Subject: is selling in a church building fine? |
Bible Note: EdB states: "I’m also baffled why churches resort to worldly ways to raise funds instead of being blessed by sacrificial giving." I think when someone gives their used automobile to the church instead of trading it in and the church then either gives it away to a needy family or sells it, that's sacrificial. Then again, for some folks, anything anybody else thinks or does that is not completely inline with the way they were brought up in the church is wrong. Kind of like some people thinking dancing is a sin. In answer to your question Ed, no I don't consider it okay to "merchandise" the church. |
