SELLING THE GOSPEL
Lately, arguments have gone up on the matter of PRICING the Cross or EXPLOITING the Cross.
Some Gospel music ministers will say, they will Make the CD expensive and give free download link. Some will say, they will put price on the download and give CD's out for free.
But WHAT IS THE TRUTH itself as regards this?
Somebody said "Its not necessary to sell our Gospel songs because our primary aim is to minister to people not for private gain". Another person said "I personally feel if you're making music for the propagation of the gospel, and to reach out to souls, then why restrict the number of people that could/would get blessed by involving a price tag?,
Then, IT'S NO MORE THE GOSPEL!.
Below are some reasons as stated by people we interviewed as regards their opinions on this subject.
REASONS WHY WE SHOULD NOT SELL THE GOSPEL.
1. If we all claim to walk in Jesus trail, then is there a place in the bible where Jesus charged the people money for the gospel he preached or for healing them?
If there isn't, then we should not sell GOSPEL.
2. The mandate given is "GO into the world and PREACH ye the GOSPEL" not "GO into the world and SELL ye the GOSPEL. If God has given you the privilege to work for him then it's HIS responsibility to supply all your needs according to HIS RICHES in GLORY. As also it is your responsibility to supply the needs of the Children you called to life.
3. Even when we don't monetize GOSPEL songs, a lot of people still find it difficult to download one Gospel song in a day rather would they prefer downloading thousand secular songs.
So it doesn't help situation when you monetize the Gospel.
Your gift is not for your self, it is for crying souls who are on their way to hell and needs redemption....We are all supposed to REDEEM the many NOT Perish with the many because of our GREED and Dissatisfaction.
We are not merchants raised to make money, WE ARE SERVANTS SENT TO SAVE LIVES for JESUS CHRIST!.
