readme

A "readme" file is intended to capture your attention so you will read it first before clicking on any of the links below! I want to explain why there are link errors on these pages that have not been fixed or eliminated.

If this discussion is not interesting to you or you cannot read English, just be aware you can find many links on the opening page of JesusIsLord.org or on JesusNeverForgets.net.

NOTE:Some language pages may be slow to load (Chinese, for example) due to the many videos included. Some web surfers may find it difficult to impossible to find these videos on their own. I have included many links so they all can be found and watched. My guiding thought is that if this is your language, you won't mind waiting. I have not decided what to do to speed page loading up. I may put the videos at the bottom which does seem to work. Before hitting the "back" button, be sure the current page has fully loaded. When hitting the "back" button, please be patient and wait for the "hand" to let you know you can select the next link. If you go too fast, your device (PC, laptop, smartphone) will get confused. If this happens, consider your RAM (memory) to be full and possibly wait or reboot to clear.

The original Netiquette advised never to delete a web page since other web sites might link to it and there would be a bad link which would frustrate the web surfer. Some web sites followed this rule for a while but over the years web site complete overhauls made it impractical. In addition, sites completely shut down for a month or so to overhaul. If links are not corrected when they appear, valuable content is no longer available when the site comes back up. Some ministries used another larger ministry's URL (domain name) then later left and put their content on their own domain name. Leadership and technology changes can cause contracts not to be renewed in favor of a new method of content delivery. Some ministries change domain names completely and someone new takes the old domain name. Links may work but no longer be the best. These are not easy to find with so many links (over 10,000). It can leave a perfectionist sleepless. The answer is to do the best I can with what I've got. I am not able to sit at a P.C. very long without pain. I have to admit I like to create more than I like to fix. I have the discipline to fix the links. I had just spent two months fixing links on all the 180+ language pages to the detriment of my health when several ministries made one or more of the above changes. I corrected all those links before the Athens Olympics in the summer of 2004. I have started many times with Afrikaans intending to correct all links. I barely made it through part of the alphabet when the links I had just fixed changed again. While I am willing to fix them again, I have created Language Page Links which can help you find some excellent links in your language, but you will have to work harder.

My decision for these pages was to include enough links so that a speaker of the language would feel loved due to a thorough job being done. Some languages have little content available or little content that I can verify is correct and safe. In this, we must wait for the Internet to grow and to penetrate these languages. For the languages where much content is available, I must decide what is most helpful. I must be sure not to offend since the content can be viewed by a wide audience while at the same time being careful not to remove the offense of the message that Jesus Christ claimed to be the Son of God who died for you.

My last thought for the link errors is that JesusIsLord.org must never be down. The server for JesusIsLord.org could be down temporarily but I must not allow the site to be down. If someone has finally gotten the courage to share their faith with someone, the web site must be there as a tool. So you will see the good links and the bad links. I have lost my perfectionist embarrassment.

Why do I do this at all? I haven't met you but if I did, I might say something to you as I pass by. I'm pretty good at making people smile if not laugh. You would see I'm an OK person, someone you'd like to meet. I might hand you a tract with my web site name on it. You might not know what it is at first, but I make it clear so if you have an objection, you can make it right then. But otherwise, many people have access to the Internet and can take a look. I have worked hard to get the same content to be accessible and readable on cell phones so more people can look. I do this because Jesus is wonderful. I depend on the Holy Spirit to be present and interact with the person helping him or her to understand who Jesus is and what he has done for us. My goal is that each person on earth can learn enough to make an informed decision, yes or no, to the question, "Will I ask Jesus into my life to be my Savior and Lord?" Of course, I would love for you to decide Jesus is God and to ask him into your life, but he has left that decision for you alone to make, therefore, I also leave the decision to you alone.

The song Ancient of Days is on most language pages. I have been asked can a language page have a different song instantly recognizable by a people group which speaks the language. This is a great idea if it can be done correctly. There may be several groups that speak one language but would be offended by the choice made by one group that speaks that language. I would have to know that the song was biblical and positive. The song would have to be free and legal to use with an available copy. So far I have not been successful securing Amazing Grace. Everything is harder when you actually try to do it! So until then, Ancient of Days from the Book of Daniel reliably refers to the Messiah who is interested in all peoples, nations, and languages. Add to that the thought of his dominion being everlasting and this song is difficult to replace! You may note that on the Luganda page Ancient of Days has been translated into that language by Pastor Rogers as well as the Amharic page.
