Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Believe the Evidence~ Recently we have heard people say, "I believe her", or "I believe him", which is the traditional 'he said, she said' senario that has plagued these recent events in the United States Senate. We have heard some women say that anyone, especially men, that do not believe whatever a woman say about having been sexually accosted is morally bankrupt, leaving men open to slander and...

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry for our Flag Ship program, The Bible On Trial. This program tests the words of Jesus that He gave to His own eyewitness disciples against the words of those that claim to have been sent by God. This will challenge your thinking on how truth is found and applied in our lives.

Liar, Liar . . . Can you recognize a liar when you see or hear one? Sometimes it is difficult to equate what you see with what you hear. With an accomplished liar the words seem so smooth and comforting, and the look so confident and honest, that you get sucked into the looking glass and don't even know it.  One way of understanding what you are experiencing is to look at the body language of the...

Never in the history of the world is it more importat to know the differences between those that love the truth, and those that love lies they believe to be true than right now. We have just seen this drmatically play out in the Senate of the United States where one side has with malace of forethought attempted to destroy an honorable man in favor of a political position. And whatever your politic...

My daughter and her husband are moving house. They are moving from a one bedroom apartment into a two bedroom single family dwelling. They have actually been moving for several days, a little at a time, but they are making a push this weekend to get the big things moved pretty much in 'one fell swoop'. And yet even with friends with young backs (and dear old dad and mom) helping, it is hard work m...

Running Out~        When I was in collage many years ago my uncle came on campus as an instructor/associate professor, so I just had to take one of his classes, just to be able to say years later that Uncle Paul was my professor. He taught symantics, and I needed an upper level English class, so it was a perfect fit. It was a real eyeopener in two regards; I didn't know that he was a brilliant tea...

The Process of Sanctification~ "But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:21. Modern Christianity teaches that you learn to practice the truth AFTER you come to the light, and that light is Christ Jesus. It also teaches that the 'practice' of truth is simply declaring that you love Jesus, and accept the blood of Hi...

False Humility~ One of the most important lessons that we must learn from the life and teaching of Jesus is that (as with Him) we must live, think and believe (by knowledge) in something that is bigger, more important, and OUTSIDE of us. The humility that Jesus exhibited while in mission here on earth stemmed from the fact that He came to do the will of His Father in Heaven. That 'will' was to "te...

Practical Righteousness~ "One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word." R.A. Heinlein. I was thinking about the miracles of Jesus, and this quote popped into my head. I love the writing of Heinlein; it was reading his stories when I was in 7th and 8th grade that got me interested, really interested, in science. It also got me interested in deciphering the engineer...

Preserves ~ I just finished making 15-1/2 pints of peach preserves. All 15 of the Ball jars 'clicked', which means that after processing as the jars cool the lid clicks, which indicates that the lid has sealed properly, and the peach jam has indeed been preserved. Now you might think that I am going to use the fact that I followed the recipe and the canning instructions precisely, and that is what...

We live in perilous times! We live in interesting times. There is an ancient Chinese curse which says, "May you live in interesting times!"  This statement is a curse because if the times are interesting they are also dangerous.  End time prophecy in the Bible shows that the generation that will live through the events of the end as depicted in Daniel and Revelation are going to change the world i...

I have a friend that is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and what I have notice is something that I am also seeing in her husband; they are both rising to the occasion and simply doing what it takes to defeat the disease. They are not whining or feeling sorry for themselves; they are not complaining how 'hard it is', or how bad the situation has become. All they are doing is getting on with the...

Going live

An Upcoming Wedding~ We just found out today that our son has asked his girlfriend to be his wife, and joy abounds in our household. This has been months in planning, and three days in execution. All did not go completely smoothly, as three nights ago Zach was going to ask Erica's parents for their blessing (he is old fashioned that way), but they could not get to the phone together as her mother...

Impeachment~ There is a lot of talk in the past day or two in the Main Stream Media about impeaching the President of the U.S. based upon the word of a person that has been proven to have lied. What the outcome of this will be is very much up in the air. But there is one thing that is not 'up in the air', and that is that the Words of God as manifest in the Words of Jesus His Son can not ever be i...

Does it seem like the world is changing into a place where it has never been before. Technology with AI and space exploration. Traditional religeous organizations have lost any revelence, if they had any to begin with. We seem to be living in a bizarro world how do we make sense, who can we trust, where do we find the truth. Does God still want anything to do with us? We make sense, or do we, you...

The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling is the continuing saga of a small band of brothers and sisters that defy the odds against bringing the knowledge of the Truth that Jesus brought from Heaven to a world wrapped in the darkness of lies masquerading as light. This team is lead by a man that has dedicated his life to revealing a deception so insidious and convincing that it has fooled the ent...

When you go on a trip you have to pack for the conditions that you will have wherever it is that you are going. It is ludicrous to pack shorts and a bathing suit if you are going snow skiing. It is also rediculous to pack snow skis and a parka if you are going to Hawaii. What you wear where you wear it is important. So is knowing what you must wear to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. Most Christians...

The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling brought to you by Spirit of Truth Ministry, will be 'on air' at the top of the hour. See you then, for a dynamic and challenging study into Truth, Justice, and the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Eye On the Prize"~ There is a universal motivating factor that keeps a person moving toward any goal. The story of the donkey, carrot and stick is a perfect metaphor for this factor.  In order to overcome the stubbornness of his donkey to pull hus cart the driver would tie a string around a carrot, attach it to a stick, and suspend it just in front of the donkey, such that the donkey would see an...

In out daily lives the idea of knowing and understanding the truth of salvation takes second place to cleaning the house, taking the kids to school, going to work, paying bills, and spending time with family and friends. And this is as it should be, because living life is what responsible human beings do.  Yet every once in a while it is important to spend some time thinking and taliking about the...

"FIRE"! The word 'Fire' is used in a variety of contexts. In the job market it means something totally different than the result of saying it on a shooting range. But in Westen U.S. the word can have a chilling effect on the hearts of people that face forest or brush fires, that force them to evacuate their homes and property, and can bring both destruction and death to those involved, both as civ...

The golf world is watching with wrapped attention the greatest contest in the world - The Open Championship. It is being played at Carnoustie, Scotland, for the 8th time in the 147 years that it has been played.  When a player recieves his invitation (an invitation that is earned) to play there is an expressed excitment that does not happen for any other tournament, or so I am told those that have...

 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill". Matt. 5:17. Christian use this verse to justify doing the opposite of what Jesus said. They believe that Jesus 'fullfilled the Law' for them, and now they don't have to obey any law, all they have to do is 'believe' on the name of Jesus Christ, and they are saved. We are seeing a similar under...
