Whether an A-list Gospel act or not, patrons should not pay to attend the event. I don\u2019t have a problem with others charging fees, but if the event is meant to encounter God for all the wonderful things He has done for us, then I think admission should be free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;\">\u201cAs I said, you cannot take money if the event is meant to encounter God. I cannot put any price tag on God. Therefore, asking patrons to pay will be wrong. I have done my Art of Worship for 16 years and it is always free,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;\">Rev.
