Learning to live in community with fellow believers and working together to share God’s love and His message with others.

AFFILIATE PARTNERSHIPS

We have begun to establish affiliate partnerships with various companies.  We want you to be aware that if you click on any links on our site, whether on the homepage or individual posts, and purchase something, we may receive an affiliate commission for your purchase.

Not all the links we provide are affiliate links.  We are always recommending resources that we believe will be helpful to others.  Our goal is to point people to products and services that will help them walk closer to Christ and live a better life whether we get paid or not.

What We Do Matters

We believe that what we do makes a difference in the Christian community.  We have had pastors use our devotional series as teaching tools, we have had small groups and Sunday school classes use our material as discussion guides, and we have many individuals that draw inspiration and are challenged to walk closer to God because of the free resources we make available through our site.

We make these resources available because we believe in the gospel message.  We believe that  the truth of Scripture has the power to change lives.  We have dedicated our lives to preaching the gospel and now we have the opportunity to make that message available to a wider audience and reach even more people via the internet.

Unseen Costs

What we do here comes with a price tag.  We pay an annual fee to maintain rights to use our domain name, we pay a monthly fee to host our site on the internet, we have costs associated with designing our site, and costs for the tools we need to run our site smoothly.

We also have costs associated with software that is necessary to create our e-books, tools that allow us to format and edit our posts offline, and fees for cloud storage.

We also have investments in computers, smartphones, and tablets that allow us to be mobile and work on our projects no matter where we are.  In addition to that, we have many hours of labor invested in the resources we have created and made available on this site.

How You Can Help

You can help us by doing what you already do.  By shopping.  By developing an affiliate partnership with individuals and businesses, we are basically hosting an online retail store.  This is no different than shopping at a retail store in your neighborhood.  Every local retail store is a middle man for products and services,  whereby they make a profit from what they sell.  Our affiliate partnerships work the same way.  Our website becomes our virtual retail space.

These affiliate programs help us offset the cost of running this site and helps to guarantee we can continue to write and provide content well into the future.

Thank You

We are blessed to have so many people involved in what we do here at Finding Wonder and we are blessed to be able to do what we do.  It truly is an amazing time in history to be able to reach so many people with the gospel message.  Thank you for being a part of our journey and thank you for partnering with us.  Without you, none of this would be possible.

HELPING THOSE THAT CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES | 10 GROUPS OF PEOPLE EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT

If you and I want to be obedient to the Scriptures, we will use our time, energy, and resources to invest in people that cannot help themselves.  All throughout the Scriptures there are groups of people that are limited in their capacity to do for themselves, and these people are close to the heart of God.  As we come together as Church communities, let us not neglect those that are the most needy among us.

Here is a list of those in Scripture that are close to the heart of God, but are not able to offer you a great return on your investment:

The Poor

Proverbs 19:17… Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. (ESV)

Proverbs 14:21… Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.  (ESV)

Proverbs 14:31… Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. (ESV) Continue reading
