Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Dissonance~ Have you ever experienced a time in life when it felt as if something was wrong but you didn't know what it was? Where you had an upset stomach for a few days, but anti-acids didn't help, or when you felt just a little irrational nervousness over insignificant issues? (Just FYI-I am not a psych professional, nor do I play one on TV; what I am saying is not meant as therapy.) There exsi...

The Next Breath~ This morning I woke up to the news that a beloved KTLA News broadcaster in our local market died suddenly yesterday afternoon. He was 43 years old and leaves behind a wife and daughter. He was 'on air' yesterday morning, and was found unresponsive and died yesterday afternoon. He had a full life that was cut short, the cause yet undetermined. One moment he was there, the next he w...

  Join us for our Christmas show today.  

T'is the Season~ The Christian world is preparing for the 2nd most important 'holiday' of the liturgical year, and that of course is Christmas. "T'is the season to be jolly, Fa La La!" Presents are being bought and wrapped, menus are being planned for the 'blessed' day, travel plans are being finalized, and children are living concurrently in a continual state of excited anticipation and abject fe...

"My Favorite Things"! "Raindrops on Roses, and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens . . .these are a few of MY FAVORITE THINGS."  This song is one of the great songs from a wonderful 'musical' by Rogers and Hammerstein, The Sound of Music. It is best know as being sung by Julie Andrews in the movie, but it made it's first appearance on Broadway in 1956, sung by Mary M...

We will be having our ususal dynamic study into finding Truth. 

The Deception Conception~ This morning I checked my messages (as usual) and saw one the source of which I did not recognize. Now sometime I recieve a secondary billing message that is meant for my wife, but also appears in my message box; things like 'Your Mortagage payment is due on . . .', that kind of thing. Those I recognize, even if they are not mean for me. This morning I recieved one from W...

Cover Story~ An Agent Provocature (inciting agent) is a spy that lives among his/her enemies, and using subtrefuge and enticements gets another person or community to commit an illegal or rash act, or falsely implicate them into partaking in an illegal act that would damage reputation, or to intice a person or group to lose confidence in another person or ideas of another person or group to which...

The Rules for Winning~ One of the most agregious identities in modern society is the idea of the 'Participation Award'. This is where children recieve a trophy or a certificate for simply showing up to an event and participating, so that no child has to go through the 'trauma' and 'stigma' of losing. There is a generation of young people today that have lived their entire lives not knowing that it...

When a person comes down with a cold or illness, the presenting issues have specific symptoms that will lead a medical practitioner to form a hypothesis as to what the type of cold or condition the patient has contracted. Certain symptoms indicted certain conditions that can be confirmed by analytic testing. For example, if you have high blood pressure, muscle cramps, sugar craving, constipation,...

Continuing today's show

This is the day after the Thankgiving holiday, and we will be presenting a BEST OF program from November 14, 2009. We hope you will enjoy this past program. Join us Sabbath, November 24, 2018, for another live program of The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling.

The whole town of Paradise California is now gone, burned (for the most part) to the ground. And this includes the home in which my son's fiance grew up, and the town in which, up until a week ago, lived in. They are now homeless, along with everyone else in town. In addition, due to the intense smoke from the fire, and the stress from losing their home, Erica's father had a severe stroke the day...

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry for another challenging study in our search for the Truth about how salvation is achieved.

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry today for another dynamic and complex study into the differences between religion and truth. The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling delves deep into the complex yet understandable differences between what Jesus brought to earth via the words of the Father and what others have to say about the process of divesting yourself from lies and learning the truth. 

Emergency preparations~ Todays TV news showed video of severe wild fires here in California. Essentially, the town of Paradise in Butte County has been burned to the ground.  This tragedy is more poignant because it appears that the parents of my son's fiance live in Paradise,and they had to evacuate this afternoon, and it is highly likely that their house and property has been destroyed by the fl...

Vote for Truth~ In California we have taken many issues away from our legislators as a self-defence mechanism for shoddy law making. And this has led to the Proposition system, where a group of people get together and write a proposition for the voter to impliment by a 'winner take all', highest vote total wins system. This is pure Democracy at it's worst. There are about a dozen propositions on o...

When do lies actually become truth? Most of us would say 'never'; we would say that it doesn't matter how long lies are spoken they can never become truth. But in the practical world of religion and politics this is simply not the case. The USA is in a midterm election cycle, and the rhetoric is flying fast and loose on TV adds, in political speeches, and in accusations of wrong doing, or the rebu...

What do you believe? This seems a simple question, but the answers are certainly not simple if what you believe will affect your eternal life. If you ask this question of a Christian one of the answers that you will receive will be that the person believes they are saved by grace through faith. So in reality faith and belief go hand in hand for most Christians; the more faith needed to justify pro...

At first glance, it would seem to be presumptuous to Christians for anyone to feel the need to 'test the Bible for Truth'. This would 'seem' to indicate that truth is not actually IN the Bible, and this is simply not true. BUT (a conjucntion that modifies that which came before), while there certainly is truth in the Bible, there is also lies? WHAT? How can you possibly say that? God would never a...

Timing is everything~ Have you heard the expression that "Timing is Everything"? The idea the everything that happens does so at the 'proper time' is a common theme in the words of Jesus when He was speaking about judgment. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his hou...

This past week our big tom cat, Andy, went out of the house for what we thought was his usual night time rounds, and he didn't come back. One day, then two days, then three; at which time my wife and I really started to become worried. By the end of the fourth day we had all but given up hope of Andy coming back. One reason that we thought this is because  there have been coyotes seen on the stree...

Join us for an inspiring and dynamic study into truth. We will be on air at the top of the hour. See you then.

The only way to come to a complete understanding of truth is to agree that there actually is an understanding of truth that is complete. Another critical factor in understanding truth is to acknowledge that the origin of truth is outside of you, and that truth needs to be inside of you to have meaning and bring purpose in life. You must admit that Truth is not a feeling or an emotion, but it is an...
