Preaching the Gospel in freedom

It is a sad comment on the American church today, that though we all must give each other grace in preaching and teaching, since we as others in time always preaching the topics of the bible which only God owns, that some today are attempting to live so completely off the work of others, that it goes very far beyond 'grace' and into the ruin of sincere Christian authors, mostly for money and pride.
This has been happening to us so much that it bears mention: I cannot continue this 32 year work as long as those who profess Christianity in their teaching, have at least the desire to be good citizens and obey the law. The Bible which commands grace, also commands us to 'not to build on another man's foundation', which of course includes grace to women writers. If we cannot even find the grace to allow others to follow Christ in their own work, how does one expect grace in life?
I have labored for free for 32 years to produce quality Bible Studies: the hacking of these sites has been so bad in some cases, that I have had to double back and repair work, slowing down the process horribly. My work is for churches in less fortunate places and circumstances that cannot afford the big ticket Bible studies: ours are free and build a firm foundation in the Lord, in walking in the Holy Spirit, especially for those churches, schools and homeschools without big budgets. I will not belabor some of the horror me and my family have lived with at the hands of sometimes very uncomfortable people in taking over what I firmly believe was to continue as a viable work. Part of the offense has been doctrinal: persons of set religious doctrines cannot allow others free speech; some has been greed, and too much has come from either persons who are in the ministry and shouldn't be, and are not led of the Holy Spirit, or from persons who are functionally illiterate, and spend much of their life trying to hide it. I would not mention this last groups, except that rather than lean on the Lord to gain and improve skills, they choose a life of stealing and often even violence in their frustration.
I will continue to offer these studies for free, as long as I live: I trust that it is what the Lord gave me to do, particularly because of the influence these studies have had. I also have learned though that when the foundations are destroyed the righteous can do nothing. Is the U.S. church this far gone?
