Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Have you ever used the expression "Don't take me for granted"? The idea of 'taking something or someone 'for granted' is that you are not giving that person full worth for who they are or what they do for you. It does not feel good when this 'dissing' is directed AT you, because the person doing it is taking advantage of you by not acknowledging your contribution to the quality of their life. But...

Do you call yourself a 'Christian'? Are you a member of a recognized denomination? Why do you believe the things you do about Salvation? I am certain that at sometime in your past you have asked yourself these (an other) questions about what you believe and why you believe. Doing this is more important than you know, because the answers affect your eternal life. But in your questioning have you ev...

Sick and Tired~ Today I am both sick and tired. Nothing to worry about, it's just a cold. But the cold reminded me of this expression that my mother would use when I was not performing to the fullest extent of which I was capable. This expression would often proceed statements such as, ". . . that your homework isn't finished", or ". . . that it was your turn to clean the kitchen, and it is a mess...

Think and Grow Truth` The most popular self-help book for financiial sucess that was ever written was by Napoleon Hill in 1937, Think and Grow Rich. In this book Mr. Hill defines 13 principles for building wealth, all of which revolve around the idea that "Success comes to those who become success conscious". This book has sold more than 100 million copies by 2015, and has promoted the mind set th...

Join us for our study into Truth and How to Find It! We will be 'on air' at the top of the hour.

Decisions, decisions~ Decision making can be difficult, especially when you have to choose between two good things. Do you want a Mecedes or a Land Rover? Do you want to eat Itallian or Thai cuisine for dinnner? Would you rather have a hug or a kiss? Decisions are even more difficult when the choice is between doing a good thing, or nothing, especially when you might get hurt; such as attempting t...

We are not guaranteed our next breath!  This past week a good friend of my family had a massive MI (heart attack). He is in his early 40's. Peter came home from an exercise session, and when Jollet saw him she KNEW he was in trouble. She called an ambulance, that came an collected him, and took him to the same hospital where in years past I had two interventions in the Heart Cath Lab. He was saved...

We have heard in the news in the past few days about President Trump meeting with Chairman Kim of North Korea, where they were negotiating the removal of the North Korean nuclear capability in exchange for economic insentives. They did not come to an agreement, so President Trump 'walked away'. This does not mean that the negotiations will not continue, but for now there was no result. Many people...

As we see today in commercial news sources it is very difficult to decypher what is actually true from what is presented as truth. There are many news stories that make the case that what we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears is exactly the opposite. We are encouraged to believe what someone says simply because they say it, not because there is any proof that what they say has any va...

Truth is not ubiquitous, and most often it is not found where you first look. Going beyond where others have searched is necessary in order to be able to distinquish between what is considered true and what is actually true. Join us for our study that uses the Words of Jesus to identify what is true from what is not.

Feelings before Facts~ There is a systemic social identity prevalent today that I believe began in earnest with the release of the first of the Star Wars movie, A New Hope, in May 1977. The Original movies were wonderful, the later movies not so much. The phrase that was continually spoken during all of the Star Wars Saga's that has become iconic is, "May the Force be with you"! The Force; a ubiqu...

Join us today at 10AM Pacific time for another challenging study as we search for and find Truth. Truth is the currency of Heaven, and it is the only thing that can be used to 'buy God tried in the fire' (Rev.3:18). We will search to fill our Heavenly bank accounts with the currency of Truth.

The Bible On Trial is brought to you by Spirit of Truth Ministry. Join us today for a study that will test your faith in what you now know. We will be 'on air' at the top of the hour.

I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Rev. 3:18.    

I have an old lemon tree in my back yard. We have lived on our home for over 16 years, and this tree was fully mature even then. It is an unusual tree because it bears two types of lemons, the Eureka, which is the regular bright yellow/bitter lemon, and the Meyer, which is know as the 'sweet' lemon. The Meyer lemon is named after the man that first introduce the lemon to the United States in 1908...

Religious Fascism! Have you ever attended a church that had a dress code, or played one kind of music to the exclusion of all other types? Have you ever had religious person tell you with certainty that the prophet of their church is right, and you better take heed and do what she/he says or you are going to hell? When you ask a person what their 'religious belief' is based upon do they ever cite...

Truth is the rarest of commodities today. There are many that claim that they and only they have the truth. Others don't even pretend that the truth matters at all. What are we to do when someone comes along claiming that indeed they have the truth? We must test that truth against an unalterable, infallible, and reputable source of truth. But who or what can that be? We at Spirit of Truth Ministry...

Changing States~ It has been said that it is much more dificult for a wealthy person to hide in poverty than a person in poverty to hide in wealth. This 'change of state' is much more convincing to the world going from the state of poverty to wealth because, as an example, no one questions the good fortune of a poor person winnng the Lottery, thereby becomig famous. How does a famous person with f...

Truth is a rare commodity, almost non-existent in both religion and politics. To these, truth is what either a pastor or a politician says it is at the moment, and anyone that argues against their understanding is to be ridiculed and denigrated. This is just what Jesus went through when He was on earth, and He said that this kind of thing would happen to His disciples at the end of time. Truth is...

Join us today for a joyful and determined foray into finding the Truth of Salvation and prophecy. 

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Bible study that became Spirit of Truth Ministry. The fact that we are still here, and not relegated to the trash heap of self-supported ministry history, is a direct testimony to the fact that God still has a mission for STM. Spend an hour with us today and hear how a church Bible study class that challenged the status quo so much so that we were asked to leav...

Join us today as we dig deep into how to find the truth of salvation through the process of Sanctification.

Border Patrol~ One-quarter of the US government is still shut down because of the conflict between the President and the Congress on border control. One party wants open borders and immigration policy, the other party wants border control based upon soverignty and national borders. It looks like this is going to be the presenting issue for Congress for a while. It is interesting to note that this...
