SOMEONE TOLD THE PASTOR, "ITS NOT NICE TO KEEP THE TRUTH FROM YOUR CONGREGATION." THE PASTOR REPLIED, "THAT'S TRUE, BUT ITS GOOD FOR BUSINESS."
Business....Hmmm! Some use God's word for their own gain, even at the cost of going around the Truth, tickle the ears of the people and give them what is easy to swallow. Where do you think the such will end up? NOT in the Kingdom of God!
Collecting earthly "treasures", instead of seeking the TREASURES of the Kingdom of God? The pastor must have forgotten the scripture: "AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE."
He is withholding the Bread of Life from his congregation. Jesus said to Peter: "Feed My sheep." This includes presenting God's truth.
Something related was going on in the days of Jesus, as we can read below.
And He went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. Luke 19:45,46
Another warning for the pastor who pretends to bring God's word, but in fact is running his own business, is the following scripture.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21
I wouldn't want to be in the pastor's shoes.

Woe unto them that deceive the flock.
