My House Has Become a Den of Thieves

St. John Chapter 2:13-17

God doesn't like that some churches have made merchandise of some of  their patrons and their patrons gifts to bring money to their organization/church.

Please stop it, in the name of Jesus, it gives a bad name to the name christian.

Matthew 10:8 Freely you have received freely give.Some church organizations have eliminated the freewill offering the Bible speaks of, by sticking a price tag on Gods gifts and have mocked God.

In chapter 2 of St. John, Jesus told them to stop it, because they were marketing God as if He was an item. Do you have no shame!
St. John 2:16 Jesus said, take these things from here: make not my Fathers house a house of merchandise.
Then his disciples remembered what the psalmist wrote. Psalm 69:9 For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up.

The bottom line is that God is sick of people making merchandise/turning a dime in churches, especially to receive exposure to give themselves a name. It's time the Lord be glorified in the church.
A person can try and justify themselves all day long. But the bottom line is, they are guilty. 

Jesus said, NO marketing in the temple, end of story. Now you may ask yourself, where do I sell my wares? 
The answer is simple, put it in a store. Get back to freewill offerings, that requires the human heart to love enough to give. You are shutting down peoples hearts to do good, when all you gotta do is pay.

And quit making merchandise of people when you have a healing conference. God never intended for people to pay for a healing. God doesn't like it one bit!

There was a man by the name of Simon, however that should set a good example to those who would continue to make merchandise out of men and women.

Acts 8:18-24  When Simon saw that through the laying on of  the apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money. Saying give me also this power that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may recieve the Holy Ghost.
But Peter said to him, your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Turn to God in repentance, God will forgive you.
