Apologetics for the Masses #339 - A
Challenge
Hey folks,
I know you're probably getting a lot of end-of-year appeals for money - I know I am - but I wanted to send this out to you to continue to fulfill my 15-year old promise to you. What promise you ask? The promise to ask you twice a year for just 10 cents a day to support the work we do here at the Bible Christian Society. I've only asked once so far in 2018, so I have to ask again in order to keep my word. :-) (This is one of the very rare times you will ever see me use a smiley face!)
Over the last 15 years or so, we've sent out somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 million copies of my talks - 2 million! All free. A growing number of those are mp3 downloads, but we still send out a significant number of CD's, as well. Again, all free.
In addition, the newsletters that I have archived on our website (http://www.biblechristiansociety.com/newsletter) have been read by hundreds of thousands of people all over the country and all over the world. All free.
So, if you regularly contribute to church and charity, would you please consider making the Bible Christian Society one of the charities you contribute to, if you haven’t already? And, if you don’t regularly contribute to church and charity, would you consider doing so?
But, I only want you to invest in our efforts if you have enjoyed and benefitted from these newsletters or from my talks. If you didn’t like them, or didn’t really learn anything from them, then please disregard this request.
If you did like them, though, and if you did learn from them and maybe even shared them with others, then could you spare $0.10 a day to support what we’re doing? That’s all I’m asking for…$0.10 a day…$3 a month…$36 a year.
About 10% of the folks who receive this newsletter have given of their financial resources to support this apostolate, and I greatly appreciate that. But, if I could bump that up to 50%, then we could do a number of things to expand the reach and the evangelization projects of the Bible Christian Society.
The first, and most important thing, is that if I could get 1 out of every 2 of you reading this newsletter right now to give just a dime a day, then I could go back to working full-time for the Bible Christian Society. I would really love to do that. That would allow me to write and record more talks. Start producing a regular podcast. Get some really cool things going on YouTube. Expand our social media outreach. Write myriads of articles for various websites. And, answer more of your questions.
Each year, I get hundreds upon hundreds of questions from you guys. Unfortunately, I am only able to answer maybe a couple hundred of them in any given year. I probably have a few thousand languishing in my inbox right now simply because there isn't enough time in the day to answer them between working three jobs and also having a family. If I were full-time at the BCS - with your help - I could answer a whole lot more, and would love to be able to do so.
I could also finish the three books that I'm working on right now. And there are a lot of other things I could be getting into as well. But I need your help to do it. Would you be the 1 out of the 2 that gives $0.10 a day? Again, that's just $3/month, or $36/year. Maybe you could donate $18 now, and $18 in another six months, or whatever amount…$5 or $50. If 1 out of 2 of you could help, then I would be able to devote 100% of my time to the apologetics and evangelization work that we do around here and we could reach hundreds of thousands more with the truths of the Catholic Faith!
So, basically, I’m asking that if you give to charity, and if you think the newsletters you’ve been receiving, or the talks you've heard, have been of value to you, then please invest in the evangelization efforts of this organization so that we can reach even more folks and develop even more materials. Ten cents a day…think about it...pray about it.
