For the first 4 and a half years of my ministry, from spring 1998 to November 2002, I have not asked for any donations.  I thought that by not asking for donations, I would be walking as Paul walked, and therefore, not "hinder the gospel."  I thought I would give credibility to the scriptural arguments I present by not asking for money.  Also, I have read so many arguments from those who attack the pretribulation rapture by accusing people of teaching the rapture for money, and I have let their accusations cloud my judgment.

Lately, I have realized that I have been holding back my ministry, and taking away from my credibility by not asking for help from others, and by not submitting to God's plan for ministers.  Without funding, it is extremely difficult to expand the reach of this web site.  Part of what helps to give ideas credibility is how widespread ideas become.  So, with your help, and God's help, the substance of this ministry will reach many more people.  I'll be able to buy keywords at search engines, and ads in Christian newsletters and websites.  I have devoted myself to teaching bible prophecy.  And if this ministry is supported by God, then there will be enough money to expand the ministry and also for me to sustain myself from the ministry, which is what God intended and ordained as Paul wrote in 1 Cor 9, quoted above.

My ministry is not, and never will be, a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt organization.   A 501(c)(3) organization must follow the rules of the IRS, thus putting the IRS as the head, and not the Lord Jesus Christ as the head of the ministry.  A 501(c)(3) organization is also not allowed to let contributions inure to (to go to, or work to the advantage of) a minister.  But the Bible says we should allow contributions to benefit the minister.

1Cor 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

For other Biblical reasons why I reject incorporating as a 501(c)(3) organization, see my essay on the identity of the Great Harlot in Rev 17-18.

(The lack of a zip code is on purpose.  Your mail will still arrive.)

*You can send cash safely through the U.S. Post Office if you send it by "REGISTERED MAIL," (which costs about $3.00), and ask for a "return receipt requested".  This will insure the contents of the package against theft, and this is how coin dealers send gold and silver through the mail.

At the moment, this ministry is very small.  Please email me at bibleprophesy@yahoo.com to let me know when you mail a contribution, so that I will know to go to the post office.
