While that time I having my BA Degree, I came cross about Direct-Selling Business Module & heard plenty about Pyramid Earning Scheme, which friends relatives around me are involving in it, indeed reaping profit that make me envy and jaw-drop.
These module of business have nothing wrong and harmless to the society nowadays, of course needed to be legally registered and obtained proper recognition of certificate by/under the authorities or government itself.
Since so-young age until my next second, my parent have been and always taught and nag me about the danger of involve in such module of business, mention the risk of irrelevant, unpredictable, instability and harming friendship.
Of course, I finally able to have opportunity to be approached and felt it by myself. Respective agents approach to me skillfully, indefinably, in term of soft-manner and etc. Above all these, these require much hand/mental skills and boldness from the agents to approach clients without fail, I respect this much.
Okay, sector of church. As church-goer, we knew and always admit that church is a huge pool of people network, just a second we able to find out the grapevine of church members, knowing that this fellow have close relationship with other fellows. Yupe, the networking church's people win compare to outside communities.
Yea, that is it, a brilliant mind will indeed go through a big study relate to "Penetrating Church", for consistent of business-stability, wide-range and chances of obtaining new fresh client can be achieved.
But, thank God no matter how brilliant mind that Chinese-man have in head, the bible had already proved and justified the answer regarding these scenario or issue as we may define it.
Remember Jesus did madly remove over the assets of the trading corner of God's temple. He shouted out the temple's function was/is to allow people to worship God some more, not for people to see opportunity to focus in reaping business's profit then say Hallelujah to God Almighty, which means if no business, no Hallelujah.
I perform full-respect to the official full time agents that employed by the Direct-Selling's company or whatever Pyramid Scheme's organization. If the agents wholeheartedly is to provide excellent products to suitable clients and bring-out services that people are touched, then I will love to study and have a dealing with him/her.
However, kindly do not enroll to a part-time of these business modules if only for own-interest, such as achieve own annual saving or profit that set in 2 years ago and more. I hate this, due to the motive of doing business with clients already side-tracking. Besides that, I dislike agents using excellent speech and melting skills to touch people in order to register into some pyramid scheme that belongs to own-line, and the agents still insist not to increase downline, but to provide excellent advancement for clients' business OR actually selling specific products more then focus on increasing downline for own-interest, so called "sincerely".
Predictable, church will be facing many challenges of rumors that pastors will need to own more sleepless night and swallow more panadol, if these business module happen to penetrate-conquer the whole church-members, although management or the leaders do not involve in it.
Non-church-goers will start to question and spreading issues that harmful like cancer cause the holy or pure heart church-goers be involved in the hurricane of rumors (that church is a business center).
Of course, motive of preach the Gospel of Jesus consist of much ways. However, a good and strategically motive to touch non-believer, doesn't mean it will sized to the culture of non-believer, example, the concept of riches' privilege and blessing in specific place are different compare between people to people.
Conclusion, own-thinking and group-pray-feeling-accurate motives that is excellent is brilliant, however if these motives harm the body of Christ then must be removed to avoid the workhand of God continue moving and touching the pure-heart. Moreover, direct-selling and pyramid always neutral if the agents or organization able to prove themselves as transparent as crystal, showing all the cash flow to all the potential clients, business-good, no haste in smoothly forcing people become subordinate, attractive and healthy products, registered-clients able to have goodfaith and peaceful mind in God and the business.
Therefore, if people gossiping about church relating to business-module, church,with the perfect-whole ready-explanation to God & people, church have nothing to hide and needless to justify. Yet if vice versa, we should evaluate ourselves regardless how rotten and above high we already achieve, in order to remove it, followed by the cancer of eating up the work of God's glory. Please.
