The church is not a place for personal business! It is to be a place of prayer and worship.
Even today many people "attend" church as a social event. It is where they make friends, get connections, and yes…grow their business. The bigger the church, the better the opportunity.
Jesus has no time for this kind of "business". The church is to be a place of worship. When the church gathers, we should be inspired to worship, called to prayer and motivated to sacrificially give of all God has given to us to see God's kingdom advanced! It is never to be a place of "personal gain".
Jesus values those who will "lose everything" to follow Him. He said, "whoever loses his life for me will truly find life."
When our involvement in religious activity becomes about us and not about God, we have lost the reason for going. Jesus would not be pleased.
