Allan Midgley replied to John David Coupland's discussion 'Selling the Gospel?'"God judges the heart - look at your own heart and what is more important to you? Is it money or is it God's glory? If the priority is money, then walk away from it, as you would be led astray. But if it is the Glory of God then will bless you…"
Bob replied to John David Coupland's discussion 'A winter's night in Bethlehem' in the group Christmas Worship Songs"Hi John
I like the harmonious melody, which is not overly elaborate and your voice flows well with the song. I especially like the lyrics, which sum up the Good News of the Gospels in one song; namely how he came into the world, and why:

When and where are we justified to make money from our worship music? While selling a physical album to cover material and postage costs seems quite proper, I find the issue of downloads to be a grey area. I-tunes and Amazon do not offer the option of giving away your album for free but as the main suppliers it is probably a good idea to be there.Factors to bear in mind:Pastors usually get paid.Church organists (and cleaners) may get paid.Other church musicians usually do not get paid.Jesus did…See More
