Pay for the Word?
I just finished surfing the net for new sermons, and I found a few that I will listen to. I was amazed to find many IFB KJV Church website where you had to pay to download the sermons, or to get the sermon put on CD and mailed to your house. I can understand the latter. It cost money for the discs, computer operation, postage, etc.
The paying to download sermons is what I have a hard time with.
First, if your are preaching God's Word how can you put a price on it?
Second, only the biggest churches charge for their sermons...hmmm can you say money hungry. A big church with a big missions program can't afford a little webspace to post some sermons that anyone in the world can listen to at anytime? That sounds like missions to me! But they charge for it?
Third, I have been doing this for a couple of years now, and I KNOW it does not cost a fortune to post sermons on the net! I do all what I do out of my own pocket because I LOVE GOD AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME! AMEN & AMEN!!! He has given me a "talent" and I am going to use it.
I am not fussing about the evangelist who sell tapes to earn an extra few bucks to have gas money and fellas like that. I am only talking about these BIG IFB churches who have money coming in hand over fist and have a staff as big a the governor of Texas and are mortgaged up to their eyeballs because they went in debt to build this GIGANTIC MONSTROSITY of a church to get even more people coming in to pay for all of the above.
I'd like to know what you think!
