subject: Money-Making Bible Hucksters 08

I don't know how hospitals operate in your area, but where I
live, the hospital is not permitted to turn away anybody if
they do not have any money. Of course, I will admit that the
local hospital experiences certain financial problems as a
result of its adherence to this policy; but quite frankly, I
think that they are doing the right thing, and that it is a
real sign of compassion. It reminds me of the Parable of the
Good Samaritan. As you will recall, the Samaritan also spent
money out of his own pocket in order to help a stranger;
that is to say, the injured man whom he found lying on the
roadside. Along the same vein, aren't we Christians supposed
to be spiritual doctors as well? Aren't we suppose to help
heal people in a spiritual sense by bringing them to Jesus
and sharing the Good News of Salvation with them, whether
they can pay us for it or not? That's what my Bible teaches
me.

In conclusion, it is my firm belief that no one should ever
have to pay a single penny, pound pence or peso in order to
hear or read information regarding Biblical truth. All of it
should be freely available to all people everywhere, because
we have freely received the precious Gift of Eternal Life by
Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross, and He has never charged us
anything for it, other than our love and devotion to Him.

If you are a preacher of the Gospel, I sincerely hope that
this series will cause you to stop and really check your own
heart. I hope that you are freely sharing God's truth out of
genuine love for the lost, and not for any other reason. I
also pray that you will find a way to freely distribute your
books, magazines, newsletters, CD's, DVD's, MP3's, etc., to
the people of the world, and thus follow the example of the
First Century Church leaders and disciples, who were willing
to suffer personal discomfort and inconvenience, rather than
make a worldly business out of preaching the Gospel. I also
hope that you are building upon the right foundation, so
that your works will last, and will follow you into Heaven.
As it is written:

"If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he
shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so
as by fire."
1 Corinthians 3:14-15, KJV

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their
labours; and their works do follow them."
Revelation 14:13, KJV

May the Lord richly bless you as you freely share the Gospel
of Salvation with others out of a pure, unselfish heart. If
you know of anyone who is not following the Biblical counsel
contained in this series, then I encourage you to share this
series with them, so that they may know the truth. Please
also feel free to share the URL of this series with all of
your online friends far and wide. Thanks so much!
