Price
According to the Scriptures, we have the right to request and accept compensation for ministry, and many have advised us to do so for myriad reasons. However, like Paul, we believe it is ethically superior that we do not. Were we to charge, there would always be that question of whom we serve, the Lord or money.
If it helps you accept our stance, consider this: Receiving an income here and now for ministry, we would have our reward in hand; instead, we prefer to store up imperishable treasures in heaven.
If you feel you must offer compensation for ministry, as if to balance any mythical scales, we would ask for the only thing that matters, obedience (to our Father), specifically more tomorrow than yesterday. Ask us how.
Upon advice from my attorneys and in a good-faith effort to meet the laws of the state of Georgia, I request the following terms of employment be used when hiring me for tutoring services for homeschooled students.
- Any use of my tutoring services constitutes employment according to these terms.
- The price tendered in exchange for my tutoring services shall be one dollar per student per year.
There. That ought to keep the lawyers happy and the stupid State frustrated.
