Subject: is selling in a church building fine? |
Bible Note: To all On second thought I want to apologize for my unfortunate choice of words where I said the church is full of “freeloaders”. I stated it as a problem where the people have not received proper teaching on their responsibility to support the local ministry and were attending a church but taking no responsibility in finances. This is not just a problem in the church but in all areas of society, there are people that try to get through life without paying what is owed or contributing in any fashion to anything. I did not use the word for its derogatory meaning but rather to describe their actions however it was still uncalled for and totally the wrong choice of words. I ask forgiveness of from everyone that this word choice offends again I did not mean it to be a noun or adjective but rather a verb in meaning. I pray what I meant was understood but apparently one person found it objectionable and therefore there are probably others and to them I apologize. EdB |
