Subject: Church staff's salary questionable |
Bible Note: Greetings Nathan! You wrote: "No where in the word of God do we see full time servants of Christ being PAID a salary." But, 1 Cor. 9:13-14 says, "Don’t you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. " If 'receiving a living from the gospel' doesn't refer to a salary, to what does it refer? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
