What's Wrong In Making Profit Doing Church Work? by victoryfor(m): 6:12pm On Jun 28, 2006 |
Is it proper to make profit when you are doing any work for a Church or a Christian related organization? For example, as an Artist, should i make profit when i design church handbills, posters, Advertising materials etc? |

It all depends on the person doing the work. Most of the time when it is just done once, it's kool doing it free. But when it becomes a business agreement, there's nothing bad in making some profit. |

I Timothy 6:5 (BBE) - Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit. (CEV) - and nasty quarrels. They have wicked minds and have missed out on the truth. These people think religion is supposed to make you rich. (GNB) - and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich. (HCSB) - and constant disagreement among men whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain. (MSG) - Eventually there's an epidemic of backstabbing, and truth is but a distant memory. They think religion is a way to make a fast buck. (Amp) - And protracted wrangling and wearing discussion and perpetual friction among men who are corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, who imagine that godliness or righteousness is a source of profit [a moneymaking business, a means of livelihood]. From such withdraw. |

Hi Bari_Kade, How succinct, letting scripture speak (resoundingly) for itself. Much appreciated. Hi Everyone, It may help to distinguish true church work from the multitude of man-made organisational business that masquerades as service to God. God bless |

Blessings TV01. Sometimes there's just no need for long explanations - using the Word makes it simpler. |

victoryfor: Yes, it is proper, but should be just, as it is expected from every other money business we do. |
