Exposing 'Christian' Family Ministries - Update
Good day sister saints!
Praise God for His precious word and truth so we can know how to please Him.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
Through a heart of repentance and His transforming power of giving us a new heart, we can then become daughters of the most High God if we follow our Savior in obedience until the end. What more could be better!!!
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter 1:2-4
We've been getting quite a few emails in the last several months from people who have been following a couple of the so called 'Christian' family ministries such as Tiny Notes from Home (Brackin and Lindsey Kirkland) and 1000's of Roots with Kip and Carrie Smyth. Quite some time ago brother Jim did a testing on each of those ministries as well as the Texas Boys (which we don't hear as many 'conservative' people following ever since she took off her head covering.) I also did a post a while back, you can see that HERE and there are links to the testings inside that post. (Please read that post and go to the testings so that you know why we call them unbiblical, which they are.)
Today I wanted to do a quick update on just one of them to warn you (who ever needs this warning) to stop compromising on God's Word by watching and following such unbiblical ministries that are leading people astray. Because of our ministry (traveling for brother Jim to preach the GOSPEL in the streets, exposing false teachers and teaching) we have to also warn people about the wolves in sheep's clothing. We do check back periodically to see if there has been any repentance but sadly we most often see them going into even more heresy, such as what I want to expose here today.
A couple years ago, when we looked back at the Brackin and Lindsey to see if they have repented of their many sins that brother Jim brought to Brackin's attention, I saw a slow fade in Lindsey and her headcovering. She was not fully biblically dressed but very close if she would have eliminated all the adornment. I told brother Jim I wouldn't be surprised if her headcovering got smaller and she eventually allowed her hair to show and I was right.
In one of their latest videos they are promoting Saturday as the Sabbath. This puts them in even more compromise with the 7th Day Adventist and Hebrew roots as well as their current compromised associations with denominational evangelicals. (HERE'S a link from Brother Jim's teaching blog about why Saturday Sabbath is not for today.) Also, the Kirkland's idolize music, listen to a teaching brother Jim did on that HERE.
These are new pictures as it was a couple months ago. See how subtle the fade is sisters? For those of you who are saying 'What's the big deal?' You need to repent and study God's Word to see what the big deal is. We have a lot of teaching articles on the subject of women's headcover and dress, feel free to study and let me know how I can help you learn how to spot what the big deal is when it comes to such obvious things.
Warning! We also hear
'But, even though they have some things wrong, they are still very nice and have a sweet family. What's the harm in watching and following along if I don't compromise on my own walk?'
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:6-11
