the King James Bible, say
about those who sell their
books, man-made bibles,
and DVDs inside their
churches, during church
services in person or on
TV? Please share this with
ministries you love who are
living in disobedience to
who were selling stuff
inside of God's House
because he said it was
supposed to be a
"house of prayer", and
he threw them out of
the temple!
Why not just sell your
Why not just sell your
'stuff' on the air before
you start preaching? Do
you know how
disconcerting it is to be
focused on a
Holy-Spirit-inspired
sermon and have a
message flash onto the
TV screen with
information about how
to buy your book or
donate to your cause? It
totally destroys our
concentration on the
preaching of God's
Holy Word!
Jesus told the people who
were selling inside God's
House that they had
made it a den of thieves!
I put all three gospel
accounts below to
emphasize this point. Do
not ruin a good teaching
ministry by selling stuff
in your church in
disobedience to what
Jesus Christ taught.

Here is what God's
Here is what God's
Holy Word, the King James
Bible, says about God's
temple (church, synagogue,
etc.) is to be a "house of
prayer", NOT a marketplace
to sell your books, DVDs,
CDs, man-made bible,
etc.:
Isaiah 56:7
Even them will I bring to
Isaiah 56:7
Even them will I bring to
my holy mountain, and
make them joyful in my
house of prayer: their
burnt offerings and their
sacrifices shall be
accepted upon mine
altar; for mine house
shall be called an
house of prayer for
all people.
What would Jesus do to
What would Jesus do to
you if he saw you selling
inside your church, or
during your Christian
television program? He
threw those in the temple
of God out who were
selling stuff out of the
temple!

ministries will consider
Jesus Christ's commands
and obey them. God
help you to be obedient
to the Lord who died for
your sins.

no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for
his friends.

if ye do whatsoever I
command you.
