The Word of Truth Ministries is a unique ministry. It is one that seeks you and not yours--we are not after your money; we are after your souls for God!. We will speak and write the truth on teachings and customs that have crept into the Church of God; truths you may not have heard before; customs and traditions you may have taken for granted as being what God has said. As Hilkiah, the high priest, found the Book of the Lord lost in the Lord's house, we speak and write things from the Book of the Lord that has been lost in the Lord's house of today. [2Kings 22] Under the inspiration of God, we will spread out the table of God with his word thereupon. The test of this ministry or any ministry is not whether it comports with the teachings of another minister or ministry, but whether it/he comports his life and teachings with the Word of God. The Bible says, that they who compare themselves by themselves and measure themselves by and among themselves are not wise. [2 Cor. 10:12] Instead, we should compare spiritual things with and by spiritual things--not by men; we should compare men with the Word of God. [1Cor. 2:13] Comparing one minister by another minister is immaturity and foolishness, and one who does this type of pitting is a babe.[1Cor 3:3-7] It is God who works in his ministers and ministries. The standard of comparison should never be man, but always the word of God! God has given us all his ministries to profit by. No one ministry can perfect the saints. We ask that you compare us with the Word of God to see if we are rightly dividing the Word of Truth. If you think that we are not correct on anything we say on this site, correct us. The way you correct us is by challenging us. That same principle should apply to your own ministers/pastors as well. God's Word is supreme, not man. But we are living in the Day of Man, [Rev. 13--Count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; his number is 666. In the sixth day, God created man, Gen.1:26] when man has taken over the Church of God; resultantly, you will be asked to measure the truths that we will speak and write about by what another minister says. That is a false balance, which is an abomination to God. [Prov. 11:1] Dear saints of God, do not allow Satan in any of his many disguises to deceive you concerning the Word of God. It is his deception that has harmed and killed many good people of God. The Apostle Paul warned the church that two types of deceivers shall enter in among them and spare not the flock--those who shall come from afar and those who shall arise within the church. He classified them as wolves, saying that they will speak things that will draw away disciples after them and not after Christ. [Acts 20:29-30] Today, many saints have been drawn away from the Word of God unto men and their customs, traditions, habits, desires, etc., even to a cult of men. And they have made the Word of God to no effect, by those traditions, customs, protocols, manners and self-vauntings. [Matt. 15] Remember, wolves, as Paul described them, eat sheep. If your leader/minister has sheared you--taken your money for himself, he is eating the sheep, not feeding them. And there is a class of ministers who are making merchandise of the people of God. They are in this church business for the money, regardless of what their first/original intent was. We have many who have never been called by God, never been licensed by the state or anyone else--totally unregulated individuals--who are in the ministry for the money they can get out of it. Many have become millionaires off the poor people of God. They drive the best cars, live in the best homes, and wear the best clothes, while they tell you of God's blessing, they live off your largess and call it the blessing of God. But that blessing does not seem to flow to you. We will be looking at this type of religious fraud that is transpiring across this nation today. Do not allow emotional affections and emotional ties to blind you to what is happening. Compare all ministers to the Word of God; ask questions, and refuse fluff answers. Many saints of God are not being fed the word of God, but they are being fleeced of their money and possessions. Many have been made merchandise of. A minister is supposed to know the Word of God, if he is a minister and leader of God's people. [John 3:10]. Jesus was astounded by Nicodemus--he was a ruler of the people, yet he was not up to par in his knowledge of spiritual things. There are many such ministers today. And when God sends a minister who is attuned to God's word and has the ear of God, such a one is marginalized by carnal saints. But true saints of God should refuse the fluff answers and rationalizations. Make a minister answer your questions with solid Scripture that is rightly divided. And be strong enough to see them, when God points them out to you. We have had enough self-serving answers, biblical slight-of-hand answers, Houdini ministers with fluff reasoning. Your eternal salvation is too important for this old culture of ignorance that has pervaded too many Black churches. There is more than one type of minister in the church. "He gave some, apostle; and some, prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints...." [Eph. 4:11-15 and 1Cor. 12:28] Why is it that the most prominent of all these ministers and ministries is the pastors? Furthermore, why aren't the other ministries allowed to flourish, and why are they not supported in most churches? If the saints are going to be perfected, which is a commandment of the Lord [Matt. 5:48] all these ministries are needed. [Eph. 4:11] This ministry is outside of an organized church, therefore, we can and will cry against all sin in the world, the saints, and in church leadership. Many years ago when I preached on the radio, and a minister said to my father, "Your son is a good preacher, but he should stop preaching against preachers." But if that is where mistakes are and sin is, that is where the true ministers of God are at work in their ministries. The leaders have caused the people to err, and if ministers of God will not cry against their sin, who will? This ministry has been called of God to cry against sin in church leadership and elsewhere; it has been called to lead God's people to the next step in salvation--perfection--so that God's people may grow into Hin--Jesus [Eph. 4:15-19] and be ready for the soon return of Christ. We bid you, come along with us, and you will read and hear the word of God preached as few preach it today: by the inspiration of God. Let no man deceive you, this ministry is of God!
