DISQUS

I agree. I the passage about being shrewd as serpents and yet as innocent as doves would be applicable here. We are often far too unwise the moment something gets a Christian label slapped on it.

Very interesting post.

Interesting topic Wade. As the global marketing manager for an international MLM company, I am constantly challenged to impart my faith into my work for a company that is largely managed by new age thinking.

As for questioning the intent of Christian based businesses, Luke 9:49-50 gives us a spiritual perspective: Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us." But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."

Yes, we do need to beware of the serpents, but I would much rather start my investigation of a company I'm considering doing business with who waves the Christian banner than not. For the discerning believer, the "voice of truth" will provide direction.

All form of selling God's word is wrong including those who say they were inspired by God in writing songs and selling them, no matter the reason how or how much good they do. Just because they give a portion to some cause they are still supporting themselves and those who work for them by exploiting God's word the example you gave above is self justification because of your involvement. Friends could we imagine apostle Paul or any of the apostles setting up their letters or books in the foyer of the church with a price tag on them?
You see the faith in this is not in God it is in MAN to supply them. brothers and sisters consider the word Paul gave to the Corinthian church 2 Corinthians 13:5 5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?
