RELIGIOUS MARKETING: PROSTITUTING THE GOSPEL

When Jesus went to the temple to pray, He found money changers there, who might have said, “You can’t give your filthy money to God”. “Give us your filthy money and we’ll give you new money that God will accept…for a profit, of course. He also saw doves for sale, which were used to sacrifice to God. If they had books, cd’s and cassette tapes, I’m sure they would have sold them too.

You know what Jesus did? He whipped them. How’s that for expressing one’s self.

Jesus said, “Freely you have received, now freely give”.

If the church, by that I mean, The Body of Christ, by that I mean, every Child of God, who the Holy Spirit works through, were obedient to God, all spiritual type of teaching supplies and every means of encouragement would be given for free to everyone who wanted it.

Do you really want religious materials, born out of disobedience to God, in the first place?

The scripture reads, “The Holy Spirit will teach you all the things you need to know”.

The marketing of religious supplies has been going on every since, the first sinful person said to anybody who would listen, “I can’t hear God cause I’m so disobedient, what do you think”?

If The Word Of God is so dry to you, that you need some personality with your daily dose of doctrine…repent. A new introduction to The Holy Spirit is in order.
