“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
—– EDUCATED? … By WHOM? …. For decades now here in America, we’ve all been brainwashed toward education. But who’s educating us? What education? From what perspective and the premise, the foundation, the world view? Christ’s apostle Paul warned “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Many today esteem worldly education in order to gain prominence and profit in this fleeting life, but God’s Word tells us exactly what to esteem.
There’s no such thing as a saved man who doesn’t love and devour the Word of God!
The modern church world is filled with educated leaders but not according to the holy fear of God. They are educated in the veins of man’s theology and on marketing skills, schemes, and agendas – to grow their church businesses (2 Peter 2:1-3).
God’s Word cannot get into you until you get into it! Read Psalm 119.
Studying God’s Word is not a casual hobby to the true man of God. No, it’s his life! He deliberately, diligently devours God’s words daily!

“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12 As one is taken by Christ into the burial of the self-life, he will steadily lose his grip on and affection for the momentary trinkets of this passing world, and for the glamour and praise of mere men. Moved by the fear of the LORD, his allegiance and the affections of his heart will then begin to ascend to the “glorious high throne from the beginning” which “is the place of our sanctuary” (Jer. 17:12). “While we look not at the things which are seen, […]
Exhort One Another Daily [podcast]
“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13 “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much […]
He Delights in His Saints [podcast]
“But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.” Psalms 16:3 In the Bible, the word “peculiar” means special. God’s people are His “peculiar (special) treasure”: “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:” Exodus 19:5 “For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his PECULIAR TREASURE.” Psalms 135:4 “he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Zechariah 2:8 Let’s Grow […]
Parenting and the Eternal Destiny of Your Child [podcast]
There’s no such thing as a Christian who is a parent and isn’t teaching their child(ren) God’s Word.
So you programmed and indoctrinated your own child to “go get an education” from a commie university, with nothing but antichrist’s as “professors”, who merely read and teach marxist textbooks full of every evil known to mankind. And yet you still wonder why they turned from Christ? – if you even taught them the Bible in the first place. Time for you to get saved. God holds you personally accountable for allowing and inviting evil upon the minds and hearts of the child(ren) He gave you temporary stewardship over. Judgment Day is on the way. Time to repent – before it’s too late.
Are you teaching your children God’s Word? (Proverbs 22:6)
Are you teaching your child to study God’s Word and get a biblical education? (2 Timothy 2:15)
The LORD didn’t say to “go to church” or make yourself or your children good church members. No. Repent, put your whole faith in Christ for salvation – then deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow Jesus everyday to the end of your life. | Church Membership Exposed
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
No such thing as a Christian who doesn’t teach their own children God’s Word. No such thing. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and isn’t teaching their children the Word of God is an absolute fraud, 100% (Titus 1:16). Oh and teach them using the King James Bible – never mind your lame groundless excuses. That’s the whole problem (John 3:19-21).
Few things infuriate and evoke such indignation as this evil going on under the sun – and it’s going on in the lives of those who falsely claim to be saved. If such weren’t so pitiful, it’d be laughable.
Beloved of God, your child needs to see you worship and obey God… read His Word, pray, and minister to others – to serve God by serving others. Let them see Christ alive and working in you or you will simply produce another self-righteous religious pharisee. They will never forget how you served God with a pure heart and joy-filled spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
God didn’t give you those children so you could exploit, use them to think you are so amazing. No, sinner, He commanded you to teach them His Word every day of their life, and train them up in His holy ways. If you didn’t/aren’t, that’s clear proof you are a hell bound unsaved counterfeit and wouldn’t know Jesus if He stood in your face.
“And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 11:19
Read Deuteronoamy chapters 4, 6, 11.
“Ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law”
“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 32:46
Read that again and notice that we are to set our hearts upon the words of God and command our children also to observe them.
“If you don’t train your child at a young age how they should act and live, then Satan will. Make no mistake about that! You will be judged and held accountable at the judgement seat of Christ. Proverbs 22:6 in the King James Bible.” Charles Pray
Those who do not attach pain, punishment with wrong doing, will reap wicked children and give account to God for not teaching them to obey authority. Repent now and train up your children in the right ways of the LORD.
ARE YOU training, correcting, guiding your children?
“Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.” Proverbs 29:17
Being a “good” parent doesn’t mean you are a God-fearing, a godly parent. In reality, you are not a good parent if you are not training your child(ren) up in the pure Word of God. You prove to be a lost soul if such is the case. Repent now sinner. The Almighty will bring you into full account for how you’ve brought up HIS children.
Parenting and Eternal Life are Connected
“Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.” Proverbs 23:13-14
Unless our children learn to submit to and obey our authority, they will very likely never submit to the authority of their Maker before whom they shall stand in judgment.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power (authority) is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18
Obey God and do not trust your own wicked heart: If you are not obeying God it’s because you do not fear Him and are in utter need of truly repenting now – before it’s too late.
Is your child born again and walking with Jesus?
Obey God’s Word concerning your children and crucify your own feelings:
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26
Chasten your child(ren) now – before it’s too late.
“Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.” Proverbs 19:18
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:15
“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” Proverbs 29:15
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
Some of the things children are to be taught be their parents in training them up in the right ways of the LORD …
Read and memorize God’s Word (Proverbs 4:4; Revelation 1:3; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-16; Colossians 3:16, etc.).
Know the books of the Bible – Genesis to Revelation.
That they are sinners. Give them the law, the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20: Romans 3).
To know the 10 Commandments by memory (Exodus 20). This is a basic structure of what the LORD requires and what He calls sin.
God requires that they obey – Him and their parents (Matthew 7:21; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).
How to be saved (Romans road; 3:10, 23; 6:23; 10:9-10, 13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
To love God and their neighbor – Golden Rule Living (Matthew 7:12).
If you cant say something good, don’t say anything at all (Proverbs 17:27-28; James 3).
Honor authority. Children learn this as they are taught to honor and obey their parents.
To walk in utter integrity and honesty (Proverbs 20:7; Luke 8:15).
To always be serving God and others ABS (Matthew 23:11; Acts 20:35)
To help the poor (Proverbs 19:17; Galatians 2:10; James 1:27, etc.).
To trust God no matter what the circumstances look like (Mark 10:27).
To pray (Matthew 6:6-13, etc.).
The beatitudes of Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).
Notice that the Bible never instructs parents to “raise” their children but rather to “train” them. And training requires love, God’s Word, repetition, care, and consistency, etc. (Proverbs 22:6). “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 God gave you your children for you to train them up in His ways and not the government or anyone else. The LORD is holding you personally accountable. If you are not convicted deeply to instill His truth in love in your children, Jesus commands you to […]
Powerful Parenting
PRAYER OF A PARENT: Heavenly Father, thank You for the children You sovereignly gave their father and I. You entrusted them to us, to train up in Your ways – to teach them to know and follow You Jesus. We know they are first and foremost, YOURS. You have committed to my trust Your child(ren). Right this moment, I release each of my children back to You – to Your sovereign care. Please help me to be the parent You’ve ordained me to be, walking in Your love, truth, and wisdom – as I obey them by teaching them Your […]
How is God’s Money to be Spent by His Church? [podcast]
Have you ever noticed when volunteers go to the mission field on a short term mission trip….
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12
The highest paid position, calling in the church is what?
“the elders that rule well”
“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” 1 Timothy 5:17-18
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:13-15
The love offerings of Christ’s saints are to be spent equiping His saints to spread His Word, His Gospel to the end of the earth. This is the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave us. Are you living it out?
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
“Don’t bother me” with the needs of others is the crass, cold, calloused response of those who don’t step forward to contribute. Darkness consumes their life and Jesus is calling them out of that darkness and into His marvellous light! They are totally consumed in their own life—and that’s the problem, the sin. Repentance needed. Divine refreshing will only come after true repentance (Acts 3:19). God will never bless a selfish person (Matthew 20:20-28; Philippians 2:3-5). The LORD will always bless those who are given to Him and therefore giving to His work (Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11).
When we spend all our money on self, who does that reveal we are serving—the Savior or self?
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO ASK CONCERNING THE APPROPRIATION OF REVENUES FLOWING INTO LOCAL CHURCHES. There is no attempt here to condemn the actions of all local fellowship organizations, but rather to probe objectively into the practices and bureaucratic systems in place, to determine how biblical they are or are not. “For ye have the poor always with you…” Matthew 26:11 Does it seem unscriptural and unreasonable that there is little or no benevolence fund for congregants among churches in America? In most churches, there seems to be a “give-to-us-but-we-will-never-give-to-those-in-need-among-you” attitude, policy and practice. Where is the outflow of money to those who gather […]
What Did Paul mean by "Double Honour"? [podcast]
“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” 1 Timothy 5:17-18 “Double honour” is generous but not lavish. “Double honour” limits the income of “the elders that rule well.” This would be in contrast to the many pastors today who make themselves rich in this world, as they “make merchandise” of their prey, the people they lead (2 Peter 2:1-3). Being compensated and getting […]
The Purpose of Elders in Christ's Body [podcast]
There is no more important work transpiring in the earth today than the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.). “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21 In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus […]
Sending the Divine Light into “The Prison House” [podcast]
Jesus is Bringing Incarcerated Souls to Himself: YOUR GIFTS ARE REACHING BEHIND THE COLD HARD WALLS OF PRISON CELLS – INTO THE SEARCHING, HUNGERING SOULS OF A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE OF MEN AND WOMEN: Inasmuch as there is financial supply, ministry books continue to flood jails across our nation – touching the hearts of the incarcerated for Christ! Each of these books will be read by many.
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15
Believers who are connected to this outreach are sending a continual stream of the names and mailing addresses of incarcerated souls they are ministering to. Dropping surprise blessings upon inmates creates a chain reaction of other inmates writing to request these Gospel filled books for themselves. Below is a mere sampling of the letters received from inmates requesting their own book(s) or additional books from this ministry.
The Body of Christ in the Earth is Making Eternal History!
WHO will say “I’m committing to $20 month!” to get Christ’s Gospel to more incarcerated souls? Who?….Many support the ear-ticklers and neglect to honor God by supporting HIS work. Will you? If God’s work matters to you, demonstrate your agreement with Him by committing to supporting His work. Those who truly believe HIS work matters, get behind it.
We His people will continue to teach His Word as He commanded (Matthew 28:18-20).
May our LORD minister to each of us, His people, concerning our stewardship of His resources.
Remember what Jesus said about “the least of these”?
“For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Matthew 25:35-36
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40
Also:
“and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Col. 3:23-24
Let us set our houses (lives) in order, readying to meet Christ, repenting and deciding to support HIS work – to take out of what HE is giving us and putting it into HIS Word, work (Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 6:19-24; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Ephesians 4:28, etc.). Each and every bit of our blessings came from His wonderful hand (1 Chronicles 29:14; James 1:17).
In America, Over 2 million souls sit in prison cells as we speak. Think: Mission Opportunity for Christ’s body.
The LORD wants to bring to Himself “them that sit in darkness out of the prison house” (Isaiah 42:7). He wants to draw them to Himself, to cause them to call upon Him as He beckons those in darkness to “Come unto me …” (Matthew 11:28-30). “The Spirit and the bride” – that’s us! – are extending the divine invitation: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17).
The world is under the darkness of sin. Perhaps We may have never stopped to realize that as WE OURSELVES did “sit in darkness,” Heaven’s KING came with His light to rescue us “While we were yet sinners” (Luke 1:79; Romans 5:6-8, etc.).
Now, in eternal gratitude for our loving Savior, may God bless each of us to participate in shining His light into the sin-stained, darkened hearts of fallen men – so they can repent and be saved by Christ, the only Savior (Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5-6, etc.).
May this never be said of us: – “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul“ (Psalms 142:4).
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
THERE is no work transpiring in the earth as important as the work of Christ’s Gospel for the eternal souls of men!
Dark jail cells and darkened hearts are being lit up with the flood light of God’s Word, bringing the light of our LORD Jesus and His glorious Gospel – Good News! (2 Corinthians 4:6)
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7
Your contributions in this late hour make this possible! God is so good! Together, we are shining “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God” into desperate, hurting souls of the imprisoned.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6
Many of the incarcerated, with no direction to look but upward, are grasping for the light of Christ
The phrase “Sit in darkness” appears 4 times in God’s Word:
“Such as SIT IN DARKNESS and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;” Psalms 107:10
“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that SIT IN DARKNESS out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7
“Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I SIT IN DARKNESS, the LORD shall be a light unto me.” Micah 7:8
“To give light to them that SIT IN DARKNESS and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Luke 1:79
A big Thank You Kindly to those who are supporting this GOSPEL outreach. You are enabling God’s Word to go forth into the hearts of men daily using nearly every communication medium known to mankind. Your funds are the fuel. God be praised. “WE are labourers TOGETHER with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9). There is room for more Gospel help. We will continue to preach Christ, to preach His Gospel, feeding His sheep and winning the lost from prisons to palaces – “we preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Jesus is coming!
May the LORD fill our hearts with His compassion for people, all of which Jesus died to save. – “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36)
More on Christ’s Light Shining into dark places, the sin-darkened hearts of men and women, to bring those precious souls into His glorious light!
Unleashing a Flood of Holy Scripture ….
Scripture-rich Gospel books flooding the incarcerated with the light of truth, the light of Christ! Exciting! Captive audience of scared, cornered souls who only have once direction to look…. Upward. And in jails these books get read repeatedly by dozens or more inmates. What we do is drop to people that we know who are in jail, relatives, friends, etc. If you have someone specific you’d like a Gospel care package sent to, please forward their information to me. Thanks.
Jesus came specifically “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Acts 26:18).
Also we go on line and choose specific individuals on the inmate lists and drop-ship books to them. As you can imagine and know, it’s exciting for an inmate to receive something, a gift. Makes them feel super special, like God is shining on them – because He is! One of the books being sent is a very important small book titled What Next Now that You are Saved? …. It’s a real foundation builder and has the plan of salvation to cover all bases.
“Thank you Lord! You have not forgotten those in Prison. We pray in the name of Jesus that Your ministry will be multiplied through Your Word.” Debbie
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
Why Jesus Came
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19
More books going into prisons, reaching those who have nowhere else to look but upward.
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22
This is the book I’m personally most excited to get into the hands and hearts of those who are incarcerated – Moments with Our Master 365 Day Daily Devotional . This is a Scripture-rich book with the most broad spectrum of biblical truth to feed the reader, including how to be saved, the Peace with God section and several installments with specific salvation messages, calling sinners to repent and offering them the opportunity stop, repent, pray, turn to and believe upon the LORD Jesus.
As you know, a young man named Nicholas was saved recently who received the Born Again book from the ministry. He immediately requested more books and so we sent him several more of the ministry’s Scripture-rich volumes
God be praised and thank you: Based on your support, we are able to reach the saved, the lost, the incarcerated. It’s our privilege to support our LORD’s work in the hearts of men.

We’ve sent out a 2nd round of additional books to J6ers recently. This is limited only by the financial supply we receive. Remember, those incarcerrated are a captive audience with hearts and minds like spunges – absorbing, seeking, and being found by Christ (Isaiah 55:11). We were blessed to send our Scripture-rich, Christ-centered ministry books to 15 federal prisoners last week. And now, we have a chaplain and another prison […]

The modern church world is filled with educated leaders but not according to the holy fear of God. They are educated in the veins of man’s theology and on marketing skills, schemes, and agendas – to grow their church businesses (2 Peter 2:1-3).
