It starts almost innocently. And then it continues as false prophets and slick
businessmen use false teachings and greed to build themselves a name in what is
now called "Christian Industry".
The apostle Peter called them false teachers with damnable heresies. and
Jesus Christ Himself told us to look at their fruits.
As we are closely monitoring the culprits and their protégées behind the
"Gospel Reggae Industry", we see how these fruits become more and
more obviously rotten. More and more people start to "sense" that
"something is wrong, here".
That "something", in this case, is 500 pounds. Someone sensed,
that it was wrong to charge 500 pounds for something perceived as a
"ministry". And the answer from the artists will without any doubt be
the very same argument: "but we have to live, too".
And so they will debate to (literally) Jah Kingdom come about prices,
amounts of pounds and dollars, without really touching the principal sin that
stands at the foundation of the Christian Industry, including her subdivision
the "Gospel Reggae Industry".
For it's not about the amount of money at all.
The only reason why people started to protest against the 500 pounds, is the
fact that they love their money too much to pay 500 pounds for something that
others must produce.
But they do not see the principal. Sure 500 pounds is a lot of money, but
even if it was only one dollar cent the same principal would apply still. You
do not charge for your ministry. For if you do, you will make the Christian
Faith and the Faithful into merchandise!
Jesus Christ said: "freely you have been given, freely you shall
give". He did not say "charge no more than 500 pounds (or even one dollar cent)".
He took a whip and whipped the businessmen away from the Temple Yard. He wasn't
vexed about the prices, he was vexed because there was business going on in the
House of Jah.
And now, it seems like some in this "Gospel Reggae" industry are
starting to sense that "something" is wrong. Let us all pray for
these people, that they will start to see the real principal at work.
It's great to see the grace of Jah towards these people, that He uses their
own love of money to show them that "something" is wrong.
Let us pray for the Gospel Reggae Dot Comers, that they will be able to open
their eyes and really start to see that they themselves are just like the
businessmen in the temple in Jesus' days.
And lowering the prices won't solve that.
Only a repentance will solve it.
A repentance from building that Gospel Reggae Dot Com Industry, or any other
so-called Christian industry for that matter.
