To make GodRules.NET, I had to do an enormous amount of work! This is not something you can put together in a month's time or even a year. To get a grasp of how difficult it was to make GodRules.NET, imagine working 2.5 years straight at 45+ hours a week, and on top of that spending $100 a month on server rent and a several thousand on computer hardware and software! Obviously, this is not for the faint of heart, but I can tell you that it was well worth my time and effort. In a given month, approximately 50,000 people browse over 500,000 pages on GodRules.NET and generate about 1.3 million hits!

Now, lets imagine that you and I want to enlarge GodRules.NET by 300% its current size and increase its popularity by 20 times. Any help you and others can give will definitely make it an easier task! Here are just a few ways you can help:

• By sponsoring GodRules.NET.
  
  
• By praying for our ministry.
  
  
• By offering your web development talent.

We are looking for both individuals and companies that will sponsor GodRules.NET financially. A great deal of man hours will be required to improve and expand GodRules.NET. On top of this, server rent will increase from $100/month to $300/month. For over 2.5 years, I have supported all labor and costs associated with GodRules.NET, but now I have come to a point where I need your help. Your financial support can be for any amount you deem is good and can be a one time contribution or ongoing. For individuals, you will be able to support the cause of Christ online and also receive a free copy of Verse Master if you give over $150. For businesses, you will also advance the Word of God online and receive free advertising for your business. Our hope is that we can find individuals and companies that line up with our vision of spreading the Word of God throughout the internet world.

Our goal as a Christian ministry is to proclaim the good news and teach the word of God. To obtain a larger sphere of influence in cyberspace, we will need to expand and revise GodRules.NET. Here are some of our revision ideas:

1. Foreign Bible Study Tools - The addition of Russian, German, Chinese and other foreign language Bible study tools. We will be one of the first websites on the Internet to include more than just Bibles in foreign languages.
2. World News - This channel will give updates on current events occurring within the world community.
3. Video Game Expansion - The video game section of GodRules.NET will be greatly expanded and revised. Many more games will be added and there will be a ratings section for the most popular games. This section will also be graphically enhanced.
4. Discussion Boards - A channel dedicated to various apologetic and biblical study will be added to GodRules.NET. There is a possibility that chat rooms geared to apologetic and biblical discussion will be added also.
5. Music - We might add a channel dedicated Christian music.
6. Theme Oriented Channels - There is a good possibility that we will be adding various channels for themes like apologetics, archaeology, history, etc.

Did you know that in most foreign languages there are virtually no Bible commentaries, theological works, topical Bibles, or even Bible dictionaries? There are over five thousand languages in the world, yet only two thousand six hundred of them even have part of the Bible! On top of this, less than one hundred languages have a solid foundation of Bible study helps. Wouldn't you like to see this change? Wouldn't it be a great accomplishment for the cause of Christ to translate as many study resources into foreign languages as possible?! At GodRules.NET, this is EXACTLY what we want to do! Sadly, most Christian companies are not interested in doing such a task, because it would not generate a solid profit.

To help put things into perspective, we plan on offering links to key news articles. We are so used to watching the U.S. news that we loose perspective as to what is happening in the rest of the world. To have a more balanced viewpoint on world events, we believe it is benefitial to offer this channel on GodRules.NET.

Why video games? Among young adults, the most popular topic on the internet is video gaming. What better way to reach out to teens? We have plans not only to expand the classic gaming section on GodRules.NET, but also to create a line of top notch Christian video games to sell within storefronts like Best Buy and Wal-mart. With all the vile and wicked video games being sold in stores today, there is a great need for Christian's to create video games. Were not interested in entertaining Christians, but saving sinners, who do not know Christ.

The discussion boards will provide a forum for Christians and non-Christians to meet and discuss current issues, science, philosophy, and religion. Again, our focus will be on winning souls and administering the Word of God.

The music channel could provide some pretty rewarding features. One idea we have is to point the user to websites that offer Christian internet radio, so they can listen to Christian music as they are surfing GodRules.NET. Another idea, would be to provide some sort of ongoing audio Bible reading, where you could tune into Bible readings on certain topics or just a straight reading of a certain book of the Bible. If we added something like this, we would have to change its title from Music Channel to maybe Audio Channel.

Various other theme oriented channels could also be added to GodRules.NET. Possibly channels dedicated to apologetics, archaelogy, or some other topic would be benefitial.

Do you feel led to pray for our ministry? Maybe God has put on your heart to pray for the internet as a whole. We need your help!! Prayer is a powerful weapon and we definitely need all we can get. We have so many large goals for the cause of Christ and we hope that God brings them all to pass.

Outside of GodRules.NET, we have goals as a ministry to make top-notch Christian video games to compete with wicked games seen in secular stores today. This is not an unatainable goal as many think. Just earlier this year, I spoke with a person who headed up a company that sold software in K-mart and many other secular stores. I showed him some of my virtual reality work and told him our vision for video gaming. He stated that he could get it into K-mart guaranteed, if we made the game! You see, the problem is not that it doesn't sell, the problem is that so few have even attempted to bring it to pass.

Kids are very impressionable. This is why the devil uses music, video games, etc. to get is satanic message ingrained in their minds. Go to a store like Best Buy and take a look around. You will see many video games and music titles with satanic symbols right on the cover. Read the game names and you will see titles as blatant as "Sin" or "Diablo" or "Devil Inside". We are not joking around when we say the Devil truly has control of the entertainment in today's culture. It is amazing how far some of these kids will go to justify the blatantly evil games. They will say that it doesn't effect them, that they are numb to the violence within the games, and that it is "just" a game.

Are you skilled at designing web graphics? Do you specialize in programming java, javascript, or HTML? Why not help out in creating one of the largest and most popular Christian websites on the internet? Maybe you have a couple ideas for improving GodRules.NET's functionality, content, etc. Why not write me an e-mail sharing your ideas? Even if you can not provide the time to bring your idea to pass, I might like it and incorporate it anyways. If you can invest time for designing GodRules.NET, though, I would be most appreciative. To contact me, send your e-mail to - godrules@godrules.net

My original intent in creating GodRules.NET was to provide an almost endless resource of Christian thought, where you could find an answer for almost anything you could imagine, and simultaneously reach out effectively to all people in the internet world. I believe that we are part way there, but I think it can be improved a significant amount. To improve the Bible study experience doesn't necessarily mean creating a bigger website. Some ideas for improvement, will improve functionality or provide another dynamic attribute without adding any new materials! My goal is to create almost a mysterious, semi-perfect, endless resource to which people can find not only the answers to life, but also those deep hidden truths of God. I can see within GodRules.NET potential for this, but I am not sure of all that is needed to bring something like this to pass. Maybe you have a suggestion that would take us one step closer to reaching this goal. Also, we want to effectively reach out to the lost. We know that video games and music are two keys for the younger generation. Do you have any other suggestions? Any input you have we will consider.
