freeBay

That's right! TBOC Free Bay is the world’s first free store. It is one of a kind. The way is works is simple: after you have spoken to your Heavenly Father about your need, click on the appropriate section, find the item you are interested in, and place your order. The item will be sent to you post paid wherever you live.

One might wonder how this service can or is provided. The answer is a very basic principle found in the Scriptures. Jesus led by example. He took care of people’s needs to show God’s love to mankind. He commanded His followers to care for one another. Chapters 2-4 in the book of Acts demonstrate the application of Jesus' command. How can we not provide for the needs of our own Body? What Body is that? It is the Body of Jesus.

This site has been established to edify (build up) the Body of Christ. As we read in the Book of Acts, "...they had all things common" consequently no one had lack; all their needs were met. This site will facilitate that end.

Q. Who can participate in using freeBay?

A. Any person who has been "Born of the Spirit" and made Jesus their Lord. Since the foundation of the Kingdom of God is Agape' motivated and based on the law of "giving and receiving", only those who are the Body of Christ; being members in particular can participate. You do not qualify simply because you belong to a "church". Nor do you qualify by "letting Jesus come into your heart; you have to have made, in a literal sense, Jesus YOUR Lord. That means you are a functional member of the Body of Christ.

Q. Why?

A. The Body of Christ is to edify itself in Love (Agape'). If you are not a member of the Body of Christ, you cannot participate in giving and receiving; every joint supplying the needs of the other parts. Eph 4:16 "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."

Q. How will you know and how can you monitor who is part of the Body of Christ?

A. We cannot, nor will we try to scrutinize you or your request.

Q. How then will you keep people from abusing this site?

A. Keeping people from abusing the site is not our responsibility nor is it in our hands, it's the work and care of our Heavenly Father. If you remember the scenario of Ananias and Sapphira, it seems that the Holy Spirit had a pretty good handle on the situation. Acts 5:1-4 "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it, at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God." If one misrepresents themselves or if their intentions are less that HOLY, they are not deceiving us, they are deceiving God.

Keeping all of the above in mind, we invite you to participate. If you have a need, go to the store. If you have a resource to make available to the Body of Christ, use the "Contact freeBay" link to make arrangements.

Thank you.
