Where Was God? Update (Royalty Donation – August 2020)
/Well, if you are like us, 2020 has been, for lack of a better word, beyond hectic, but it is precisely at times like this that we need to take a step back and reflect. Reflect, not on the world, but upon God. You see, I truly believe that when we shield ourselves from the pandemonium that is all around us, we are able to hear God speak to us.
Several months back, my wife, Nancy, came across a YouTube video by Pastor J.D. Farag of Calvary Chapel Kaneohe, in Hawaii. His video sermons quickly became a part of her morning routine, and one day I joined her. To say that his sermon moved me would be an understatement. Unfortunately, this topic was not the traditional sermon one would expect, but dealt with the Bible prophecy of the End Times. Pastor Farag’s candor in teaching a topic that is often neglected at the pulpit struck a chord in me. Several videos later and I felt a sense of peace, deep in my soul, which replaced the heavy weight I’d been feeling throughout this COVID crisis.
I had originally intended to make a donation at the beginning of the year, but with everything going on it kept slipping down on the list. Not that I didn’t want to send it, but I didn’t know who to send it to. Sometimes I think God hits the brakes and you have to get to a place where you can hear his will for you.
When I first wrote Where Was God? I did so knowing that God was using me to send a message. Since I was only the messenger, it didn’t seem right that I should profit from any sales; God’s work, God’s reward.
Those who know me know that I am terrible in math. I mean, I make Common Core look easy. So as I sat down to figure out how much I needed to donate this time around. Amazon, as good as they are, doesn’t give you much choice. I could choose to ‘figure out’ how much I owed, since the last donation, or I could take the simple way out. I chose the latter, hitting the button to show the ‘Life to Date’ amount. Since the book was first published in September 2018, I have made $592.76 in sales. I don’t believe you should ever ‘short’ God, so I decided to make this donation for the full amount, plus.
Today, Nancy and I were proud to donate $650.00 to Pastor Farag’s church. It is an honor to support him and provide some financial assistance so that the word he is inspired to preach reaches as many as possible.
If you are interested in watching his sermons, and I highly recommend that you do, you can view them on his YouTube channel here: Pastor J.D. Farag of Calvary Chapel Kaneohe
