Go Daddy.com and our Down Website

I offer sincere apologies to all who tried accessing our website and were directed to Go Daddy.com’s web page. Our domain expired last week and was in need of renewal. The person who set up our domain name “riveroflifehome” is no longer actively involved in our ministry, so we had almost a week before the domain name was renewed. Unfortunately, the site you were directed to uses negatively provocative advertizing that treats women as objects. Even more unfortunate, Go Daddy.com is where we purchased our domain name.

When we first purchased our domain, Go Daddy.com’s advertizing was not like it is today and they offered the best pricing. Because our values differ with theirs, we are going to make a change. I welcome any suggestions regarding who we should utilize.

As followers of Jesus, we are not called to avoid contamination by the world. Instead, we are called to bring God’s truth and light into the world. Jesus prayed that His disciples and followers would not be removed from the world, but would be protected from evil while they are sent into this world.

John 17:15-18
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. 18 As You sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.


As Christians, we have contact with companies and people that do not share our values. Sometimes, we might be sent by God to be a light into their business and lives. Sometimes, we may be called to align with a business or people who more closely share our values.
