I understand where Deshunta is coming from but I do not think there is grounds to say that all selling in church is wrong. Personally I think that if a person likes a particular message the church can sell a DVD or CD to them. Also a great book store is a priceless treasure in a church. People can get a book after church that helps them throughout out the week. Also a coffee shop can create a time of fellowship after and before services. I do not think that trying to make an enormous profit is not acceptable. Those are just my thoughts. Thanks for the post.

Preachers should not worry about getting extra money, or drawing in more people because first of all the Lord said a cattle on a thousand hills is his and he will provide, and second of all if the preacher is right the holy spirit will lead them, and God will increase the numbers abundantly.

That's part two. @Michael - Yes, you and I have talked extensively about it! We don't want to do mediocre stuff but we also don't want to create slick car ads either - which will also be discussed in part two. @ Chris – Thanks for stopping by and commenting…and you’re right – most churches DO already perform some form of marketing (bulletins, signs, stickers) so either they are all sinning or it has to do with something else.
