Please note, this is a reprint from my previous ministry Effective Church Communications, but the opinions here are the same for this site and my ministries, on the www.effectivechurchcom.com site, there were more considerations as the possible recommendations were larger, but this content is updated for Bible805.

It is important to clarify the stand of Bible805 (and previously of my ministry Effective Church Communications) on recommendations, advertising, and affiliate marketing, in part because my position in these areas is very different from most websites, including Christian ones. Please know I am not judging the practices and motives of other sites by what follows. We all serve the same Lord, and He has many ways to work and we are all accountable to our Lord for our decisions.

That being said, though there are many ways to interact with vendors and ministries, the following is what I feel the Lord wants for my ministries, and here is the summary statement.

Bible805 and all associated ministries, past and present does not take any paid advertising, nor do I swap advertising, take free products for review, or take part in any affiliate programs. The only items advertised and sold on our sites are those I produce, and at present, the only ones I sell are books by me, Yvon Prehn. Any recommendations given or lists of or links to useful resources are totally at my discretion, based on what I’ve found personally useful, and may be modified or removed at any time.

To clarify and expand this position please read the following materials. [Read more…]
