Subject: is selling in a church building fine? |
Bible Note: EdB "you seem to jump to many conclusions about me of which you have no concept" Other than the fact you dislike any type of selling within or near the church structure, I have not come to any conclusions about you Ed. Frankly, I respect your opinion to a certain degree and I definitely agree with you on the photographers issue, who I think try to exploit a vulnerable situation. Had I not been in church when they made their pitch to me I would've given them a good tongue-lashing for their price gouging. "please stop putting words in my mouth" Could you elaborate on that, I don't know what you mean? Are you referring to the "freeloader" comment you made a few posts back? I'm really not following you here. My only point is this. People like to go to my church. It isn't a Sam's CLub or a Costco. We have a few fundraisers now and then. The youth group may do a car wash once a summer. Certain other small groups do their thingy, whether it be a bake sale or something else. When someone or some group shares their God gifted talent on our stage, we make sure the glory goes to the Lord. We don't market them, I guess in a sense we market the great commission. Even though we may have tapes or CDs, books or cookies, most people still come here for one purpose only. To speak and listen to the Manager. The Manager of All Creation. |
