Is it ok to BUY JESUS?
I want to share a story with you about an interaction I had with Crossway Books.
*We love the people at Crossway and believe they are well-meaning in all they do.
Let’s not confuse ministry with media. What does it say when a Christian publisher leverages technology not to increase access but to restrict it?
Here’s a question: “Are we blessing the Church, or are we building an empire under the guise of ministry?”
If the Church continues in the habit of selling what Christ commands us to give, we may fill our budgets but bankrupt our witness. Normalizing this sin has not exonerated the Church. May God awaken us to the joy of freely giving. Because it genuinely is a delight.
