FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions, and a few other questions people probably should ask:
​
1. Question: Can I use your blogs in my Bible study group, church newsletter or bulletin?
Answer: That would be great! Please cite the source and link people back to this website so they can access all the resources here.
2. Question: Can I use your eBook in my group?
Answer: Yes. Please ask each participant to get their own copy by going to this page and subscribing: www.markalanwilliams.net/10 Prayers to Unlock Heaven on Earth (they can unsubscribe at any time).
To sign up easily in the USA they can simply text the word “prayers” to this phone number: 44222
Please let me know if you do use the eBook in your group and let me know how it goes.
​
3. Question: Can I use your blogs or eBooks in my own blog, website or other online publication?
Answer: You’re welcome to use short quotes up to 50 words as long as you link back to the original source. You may not copy entire posts or eBooks for use anywhere online unless I give written permission beforehand. Generally I’m happy to give permission to syndicators such as ChurchLeaders, which has republished a number of my articles.
4. Question: Can you give me advice on some church or personal issues I’m dealing with?
Answer: Possibly. Please see my Coaching page to learn more.
Also, if you’d like to submit a question for my “Christianity Questions and Answers” podcast, just contact me and I’ll try to get your question answered in an upcoming podcast.
5. Question: Would you be available as a guest speaker for our church or group?
Answer: Quite possibly. Please check my Speaking Page to learn more and check out my availability.
6. Question: Why do you use your middle name?
Answer: Mark Williams is a remarkably common name. There was a Mark A. Williams who went to my small college at the same time as me. Another Mark Williams who works with our ministry was married the exact same day and year as Carolyn and I. I’m also hoping to not be confused with others named Mark Williams who are charged with crimes and going to jail (and can be easily found on the internet).
7. Question: Why are you writing these blogs? Isn’t it a lot of work?
Answer: Yes, it is a lot of work. Two reasons motivate me: to help you and to help me. Someone said, “Thoughts disentangle themselves when they flow through the lips or the finger tips.” Blogging helps me figure things out. The unclear is forced into clarity.
After that, what a joy it is to help others by sharing what I have learned—often the hard way. When I can spare others the heartaches I have experienced and help make the world a better place, it feels wonderful.
Since I’ve been in full-time Christian ministry since 1981, I’ve learned from all kinds of experiences. (You can learn more about my background on my About Page.)

-

Answer: I am a Bible-believing follower of Jesus. Carolyn and I are active members of New Song Community Church in Oceanside, CA.
