Dear friend,
I’m so glad that you’ve come
to my web site and perhaps found something helpful. You are welcome to use it
and I pray that God blesses it in your hands. However, before you share it with
someone else, please read the following.
My web site and almost
everything on it is copyright material. You’ll find the copyright symbol at the
bottom of each page and at the beginning of most of the articles. Some of it,
especially things in the archive, have been published in magazines that paid
for the copyright. Also, in the
So what does that mean to you?
Absolutely it means that you can't sell it or publish it in any publication that's sold. Beyond that; even though it’s in your possession or on your computer, it still
belongs to me. By putting it on the site, I’ve granted you permission to use
the material for yourself, but you do not have a right to make copies of it for
distribution, even if you don’t charge them anything. It also means
that you do not have a right to make electronic copies to be forwarded over the
internet.
If you’ve found material on the site that's marked with the copyright symbol that you feel would be beneficial to someone, my first desire would be that you direct them to the site. If that’s not practical, just drop me a brief email explaining your situation and requesting permission. I'll respond within 24 hours and almost certainly grant permission, but I just like to know how and where it’s being used.
There are a few things that
are not marked with a copyright symbol. For instance, the Quick guide to God-centered worship in the archives is not. Make as
many copies as you want and use it as you see fit. I do ask that you leave my name on it. If you edit it, you should add your name as 'edited by'.
God Bless,
