According to the Scriptures, we have the right to charge for our 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 for our ministry here and now, we would have our reward in hand; instead, we prefer to store up imperishable treasure in heaven.
Update:
Upon advice from my attorneys at HSLDA (whom I highly recommend) and in a good-faith effort to meet the ridiculous 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 State frustrated.
