Dr. James Kennedy was a very welthy man. His book sales alone made him rich.

God never said there was anything wrong with making money as long you didn’t have a love of money and worshipped the dollar over him. Dr. Kennedy did a lot good in this world. He was an outspoken defender of the unborn and the institution of marriage. I use to like hearing his sermons on TV.

The issue is not really how much money he made from the books he wrote. If people find the books he wrote useful and helpful, of course they are going to buy them and it goes without saying that he should receive the royalties. That’s after all, how our market society works

The issue is WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE MONEY HE EARNED?

Did he use them to further spread the gospel? Did he use them to help others? If the answer is yes, then he is being a good steward of the money he earned.

The Bible does not warn about earning money, it warns about LOVE of money. *THAT* is what we have to prove regarding James Kennedy.
