Calling Out Ministries

-
Greetings Sisters!
I pray you are staying cool, if you can but I guess that all depends on what part of the world you are in!  We are in the midst of summer and we are not lacking the sunshine or humidity :-)  Praise God we are joyous no matter what because our hope and joy are in the Lord, not our circumstances.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
 Romans 15:13

The other day I posted that we stood outside a religious body the other day and today I want to talk about calling out ministries and why we do it.  Oftentimes when people contact us it's to complain, accuse or mock the things of God and most of the time they say something like 'All you do is call other people out'.  But they don't look very far because we have hundreds of articles, audios and videos to teach people the biblical gospel and how to be obedient in the life of a Christian.  But sadly almost everyone we encounter is a 'professed' believer and goes to a 'church' someplace, therefore brother Jim tests and exposes those places in order to warn them and others.

It's not because we think we are better.  We're not better than anyone, we are just different.  We are transformed by the blood of Christ and are new creations 2 Corinthians 5:17, therefore we are called out from the world, which includes the worldly man made religion.


Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (2 Corinthians 6:14-17
It's because we want to warn them (and anyone thinking about going there) about the lies of man made religion and how people are being deceived.  We do this to call them to repentance in hopes that they will seek the truth of God's Word and stop following their itchy ears...

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Most of the people who attend such places belong there, but we hope to warn a sheep that might have gotten swept up in it.   We have many articles on our website that expose the lies of man made religion so when people do come out they have resources to help them see the truth and get on the narrow path.

As we encounter ministries, they are tested and exposed if they are false.  How are they tested?  We read their own words on their website, watch their videos and listen to their audios as well as check out their facebook page.  What they put on the internet is what they represent.  We use all their  information and then test it to God's Word and therefore we have no need to step foot into their buildings and participate in their activities because we have their own proof and evidence of what they teach and do, based on what they put out on the web for the entire world to see.

Yes, brother Jim reaches out to many of them to warn them of their sins and the testing he's doing and 99% of them hide in the dark and the 1% come back with shots in the flesh and not scripture.  There are some ministries he does not contact ahead of time...let me explain why.

Matthew 18 is the first place people run to when they get mad about a testing that has been done on their religious body.  If we study that, it's about a brother in sin against another brother.  This is a private sin.

These ministries are public. Therefore public rebuke is  permissible, in fact:

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20

James warns about the severity of being biblical in public teaching...

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. (James 3:1)

So the ministries that are public and teaching false...need to be called out publicly so everyone can be warned.

But as I said, brother Jim reaches out to many of them to warn them that a testing is coming and offers to discuss it.  In some cases he does the testing and then tells them afterwards. And then there are some that we have had personal contact with the people in the past and until unity is resolved, there is no need for contact. 

Every testing has the offer at the top of the ministries tested page:
"Note: If any of these facts stated on the testings are incorrect, please contact us. I will work with you to be fully accurate."

Brother Jim always says this:
"If a ministry repents and gets fully in line with God's Word, we will pack up and visit them, staying as long as needed to help train them up in the truth.  We will become their best help and support."

As of today, sadly, we have not had to do that but we pray that day will come!

We love all people and that is exactly why we do what we do, to warn them, in love, of wide road to destruction that they are on.

Now that I have explained that, let me go back to the religious body that we stood outside of the other day.

* An angry man came out to dispute and said that 1 Corinthians 11 (headcovering) is irrelevant today. He was getting aggressive until I started video taping him and he cooled off.

* Two men from their ministry team came out to invite us inside and they got mad when Jim would not shake their hand and join them.

* An elderly man and woman came out to see what group we were from and when the woman would not stand down and let the men reason, they got upset and left.

* Some young men came out to contend and ended up mocking and laughing.

* A harlot dressed woman came out trying to pretend to be nice and checked up on the young men.  

* Women flipped us off, yelled out the window to get off the property and hollered unbiblical things to try to defend their sinful system. 

BUT....there were a couple people who were driving by, slowed down to ask a few questions and get a gospel card. We don't know what they will do with it but seeds were planted...that's why we were there.

And I include this picture because one of the rebellious women took this, thinking to shame us.  
But a brother in the Lord made a great observation...



He said "That image still rebukes them".  
He's absolutely right!  
The woman that took this picture was sending us message after message, getting madder as she went....all unbiblical ranting.  Brother Jim told her to get her husband (as per God's Word) and have him reason in the word but you can guess how that went.  Feminism runs HOT, I know, I used to be one. 

Brother Jim drew a picture to depict the depth of it...



Get ready for this sisters....except for the profanity and vulgar hand gestures, the anabaptist types are the same. (Mennonite, Amish, German Baptist etc.)  They mock, laugh, get mad, yell, have feminism etc....

The world is filled with false teaching and if we come across one, it is our responsibility to expose them.  It is the responsibility of the false teacher to repent and contact us...then we will be happy to help them.

We have a lot of enemies that hate us, but we love them enough to put ourselves in front of them to call them to repentance and to warn others to avoid them.

Some day my love may be tested when they take my husband's (or our) life...
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues 
(Matthew 10:16-17)


Amen, that is our reasonable service (Romans 12:2)

Have a joyous day sisters, knowing that if we endure in obedience until the end, we have the hope of eternal life.

Love in Christ,
Sister Deb
