DEAR SIR /MADAM,

I HAVE BEEN READING WITH A LOT OF THOUGHT YOUR WEBSITE. AND JUST READ YOUR LIST OF FALSE TEACHERS ETC.

I DO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DISCERNMENT, BUT HOW DO I KNOW WHAT IS ON YOUR SITE IS CORRECT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BEFORE I THROW OUT LOTS OF BOOKS AND DVDS.

MANY THANKS HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU,

GOD BLESS

Hi Rob,

Good question: “How do I know what is on your site is correct?”

We don’t understand how you can be thanking us for our discernment (which is a gift of the Holy Spirit), while asking for assurances as to whether what we teach is correct or not. Could you explain?

There’s only one way you can know what is true and that is to hear from God for yourself. If He bears witness to our words and works, you’ll know they’re correct. You’ll be able to discern the fruits, whether they are good or bad.

Are you in a position to hear from Him? Have you been studying and reading books of men, having trusted them? Have you been examining yourself, putting away all sin in your life and seeking the Lord for what He would require of you?

I don’t know if you’ve red my testimony and story, but the Lord had me put away all books and men’s works and look to Him. He taught us in the Scriptures and took us through the fires to cleanse us by His Truth. Now, decades later, we bring that truth, His doctrine, to all. He has given us to rightly divide the Scriptures for all who have ears to hear.

If there’s any division between man and God, sin and bitterness are at the root of it, always. May you have a heart not for doctrine or knowledge of things, but for Him and His will. It’s the only way to be free and victorious, Rob.

The Lord has brought you here to learn of Him and His ways.

Victor and Paul
