A worker is worthy of his wages. Should ANYONE make their living off the gospel? How is this ministry any different than a preacher who receives a wage? Of course the Lord would not do this, but of course He could lead Rob to, and surely He would have Rob paid for his time and efforts, not to mention that Rob pays his staff as well. Kind of a crazy question, actually. He works. He’s paid. And as far as I can see, he’s due his wage FAR MORE than half of the crack pot preachers on “The Christian Network”. And should he get paid for the books he writes? How is that any different? I actually think his prices are very fair and very modest.
Please get a handle on the way our economy works. It has nothing to do with Christian or otherwise. Shrinks get paid big bucks. Ministers are paid. I don’t see the problem. I honestly don’t. Jesus had no place to lay His head. Does that mean that we should all go without homes and beds? I’ve put out several hundreds of dollars to Robs ministry sending Noomas as gifts to friends. They are packaged so nicely and make great gifts. They’ve been received well and I’m just thrilled that I’ve been able to assist Rob with his work. And if he makes plenty of money, good for him. He seems to use it to care for the poor and he himself lives rather modestly. Cut him some slack, for goodness sakes. Generosity is a good thing to a ministry that’s having as much impact upon lives as Robs!

Just a little dry humor Terry!

I, too, am annoyed that he doesn’t post them for free online.

He makes plenty of money.

I am not so annoyed as bemused.
