I'm also a fan of maximizing ministry potential - IMO they gave you a free video clip or two to use for ministry - that's a good thing.

You just purchase what you want.Bill Reicharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15760818211029009936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-89606527671513337022008-07-02T07:23:00.000-04:002008-07-02T07:23:00.000-04:00I don't have a problem with the credibility issue whatsoever. Think about it, what opinion is truly going to be influenced by a gift certificate worth $20. It's not like the company is looking for positive reviews at $100 apiece and asking someone to write ten or fifteen a month. I don't know how desperate other people may be, but I just can't see a gift certificate as being enough to influence my opinion.<BR/><BR/>As for who is better - Sermon Spice or BlueFish TV - our church uses BlueFish from time to time, but Sermon Spice has stuff that I think is very unique that can not be gotten from BlueFish. Having said that, I think both are a total waste if you pay for a subscription and don't use them.Tim Wadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-17206310292165515892008-07-01T22:34:00.000-04:002008-07-01T22:34:00.000-04:00Adam,<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comment. Although I think my credibility would be more in jeopardy if I didn't put the disclaimer out there, and be totally honest and above reproach. Also, I think my credibility would again be in jeopardy if I didn't say something truthful. SermonSpice wanted bloggers who are already using the service to talk about it. I could say anything I wanted, Good, Bad or Ugly. And for my effort they gave me $20 gift certificate for my next purchase at SermonSpice. The idea of receiving a gift for posting my comments was a new idea. I would ask other bloggers- Was it right for me to do it? Did the disclaimer make a difference in your opinion? Have any of you all ever been given some gift in exchange for posting on your blog?<BR/>On my other blog, Provocative Church, I receive free books from publishers in order to review them - is that a similar issue and concern as this one is?Bill Reicharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15760818211029009936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-58011676193296781992008-07-01T22:25:00.000-04:002008-07-01T22:25:00.000-04:00David, I like BlueFish TV and you are right, you can get it a little cheaper going directly to the producer - I used SermonSpice as a time saver because they mashup everyone's videos.Bill Reicharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15760818211029009936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-90099144896320463532008-07-01T21:48:00.000-04:002008-07-01T21:48:00.000-04:00bluefish.tv is another resource for these types of videos, and they are significantly less expensive.david ruddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572780147564110421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-70147049785641344542008-07-01T21:25:00.000-04:002008-07-01T21:25:00.000-04:00I dunno about pay to post stuff man.
