Why I Will Not Donate All My Money Earned From My Books to Charity

God has gifted me with an imagination. And one of the reasons a man does work, is to eat. My work is to compile wisdom, and put it together to help people gain faith. It is freely available, but we all need to make money. And as Paul said, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is threshing."

The fact is, I need to eat. I need shelter. I need water. I need sustenance, too. I cannot live on hopes and prayers alone. And this work I've spent sixteen years making, in order to produce a comprehensive body of work providing evidence that Jesus is the LORD. The most concrete proof is all freely available here.

If I do make A LOT of money, most of it will go to charity. But, as any sensible person understands, you need resources to live, and God has not called me to apostleship, therefore, homelessness. He's called me to be a prophet of the Most High, and warn people of the impending disaster, and hopefully turn away God's wrath like Isaiah and Jonah.

I will make a living off of this, or the world will squash me like a bug, and therefore, never know the truth as I have. And in that, there will be sorrows in abundance, save for the world which will rejoice while good people have sorrows.

This is my work---just like you go to the office, or the construction yard every day. And, a person's work needs to be compensated. I do plan on being charitable, but only a fool would put themselves in the poor house by devoting all of their hard work. As, that will only lead to poverty, and as my mother says, if I can't help myself, I won't be able to help anybody else.
