 Gary
and I came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in 1982. I was saved in
January of that year after reading a library book that contained the
gospel of Jesus Christ. (This book combined the pre-trib rapture
teaching with the message of salvation in Christ. As a result, I
believed in a pre-trib rapture for over ten years.) Shortly after my conversion, Gary and I began
attending what appeared to be an independent, fundamental Baptist
church.
Not long after we began
attending services, Gary also repented and placed his faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. We remained in this establishment for over ten years. It
was to our spiritual hurt that we did not heed the many signs that
indicated it was not a real church.
If we had fully believed
the Bible and therefore acted upon the precepts taught therein, we would
have known that at the very least, this was not a genuine church. We
later learned that it was founded and run by followers of Satan who were
posing as Christians and even attended a Christian college in
preparation for the "ministry." After we left their establishment, we
found ourselves being forced to deal with the evil spirits they sent on
assignment to afflict our family. We learned to rely on the Lord in
prayer to combat this spiritual onslaught and we continue to need his
help to quench 'fiery darts' from other quarters.
We have come to the
realization that our experience was not unique. It is not uncommon for
Satan's followers (including witches) to found and infiltrate churches for the purpose of spiritually
sabotaging
God's people. The Lord has commanded us to warn others about this as
well as other snares that Satan perpetrates against Christians--many from within the church.
As we repented from all known sin and compromise,
God's mercy abounded toward us. As we began to
seek Him through his word we began to search for a real church. We
sought a Baptist fellowship
because that was the denomination we were accustomed to. We did find
one for a short time, but a move brought us to the place of having to
search for a church. We visited many churches and paid careful attention
to the teachings. This brought us
to the shocking realization that the true gospel of Jesus Christ is not
being taught in most churches in the New England area. After gaining
internet access in 1998, we learned that the falling away is by no means
confined to our region. (In 2007 we moved to South Carolina.)
We are now assembling
together at home as a family. We have a time of daily Bible reading and
often sing hymns and pray together. We would be happy to meet other
like-minded Christians in our area. We do not consider ourselves Baptist any longer because after time reading the
King James Bible without study notes, we
no longer hold to the unconditional eternal security teaching, the
pre-tribulation rapture teaching, and the teaching that the miraculous
spiritual gifts have ceased. (Interestingly, these gifts are especially
needed for believers to survive during the Tribulation).
Even though we are no longer Baptist, we hold to the fundamentals of the
Christian faith and reject New Evangelical Ecumenism. (See
modernism.)
We do not agree
with the modern charismatic movement with the rock music and fleshly and
demonic goings-on that counterfeit as spiritual gifts. We believe that
all the spiritual gifts do exist in the church even though we have not
personally seen them all in operation. We are very cautious about this
and believe gifts should be proven to see if they are of God. Real
spiritual gifts are from the Holy Spirit. False spiritual gifts are from
demon spirits. If you have willful sin in your life, you will not be
able to tell the difference.
I began to write articles
for the website in June, 2001 shortly after I began investigating the
Left Behind Series. (I used a .org extension at the outset but
later changed to .net.) I (Lisa) do the actual writing of the articles.
(Note: Please remember that this is a
website. It is not a church. f you choose to read this site you need to
know that it was written by a woman with the full agreement of her
husband. If you are convinced that God does not ever lead women to
publish information to minister to others --including Christians-- then
you will not like this website.)
God has given Gary messages to share.
He will be doing these in audio format.
I am a homemaker and have
not been employed outside the home except as a counter person in a donut
shop and fast food restaurant when our first and second-born children were young. Gary is an auto and
diesel mechanic, and
is an exceptional autobody technician. (He greatly enjoys custom work
and fabrication.)
We are a couple who have
covenanted with God to obey Him completely and without reservation. As
we keep our covenant, He will guide our steps now and in the perilous times to
come. We are committed to share with those who have "ears to hear" what
we have learned and are continuing to learn that is especially relevant
in these latter days. Of particular concern is the way Luciferians have
gained leadership positions in the church and in every institution that
calls itself Christian, and are bringing in doctrines that are bringing
about the falling away of the church from the faith of Jesus.
Few are speaking out due to
the fear of reprisals. It is time to speak out.
Hell is an unquenchable fire where the worm never dies. We must
co-labor with Jesus Christ to prevent people from going there and expose
those from within the church establishment who are sending them there.
May you hold the beginning
of your confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ steadfast until the end.
