  1. Ministry is not a business. Ministry is a service. God’s work, done God’s way, will never lack in resources or funds.
    Silver and gold, have we none, but what we have, we GIVE to you.

    • Thank you for commenting.

      It may come down to semantics, but even pastors are in a business relationship with the church they lead. I agree that God will provide for ministry, but that does not negate that ministry requires resources, thus the tithe and offerings.

      The point was that people should not be focused on profiting from the Kingdom of God, but reaching people.

      Again, thank you for commenting.

      • Within our churches (Beachy Amish-Mennonite), the “pastors” are not in a business relationship. Although a gift is collected for them at various times during the year, the Bishop, deacon and other 2 ministers are not paid, and share the duties of the ministry. The men and women of our church also share in the necessary work.
        But I see where you are coming from.
        I agree the important thing is serving people, not making a profit.
