Excerpt From Newsletter
The Protestant Church has been splitting up into splinter groups for nearly five hundred years now because the Protestant Restoration has never ended. That’s because some zealous new visionary has always come along trying to wake everybody up to the fact that the Church is not yet what God intended His Church to be. And the established Protestant churches have always had the same negative reaction to those new zealots as the Catholic Church had to Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli: “Out! Out! And good riddance! Just don’t take anyone with you.” So the zeal for a Protestant Restoration has continued all this time, long after the Protestant Reformation ended. And controversy has continued in its wake.
Did I mention zealous new visionaries trying to wake everybody up to the fact that something more needed to be restored to the Church? That’s me. God called me to do it. To restore what the Church lost, I mean. I’m not going to start any new church group, so it doesn’t matter much to me whether you wake up or not. I don’t stand to gain anything. But I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. God knows I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t have to. Maybe you didn’t know it, but God does not take much lip from those He calls. So I’ll be around awhile, doing what needs to be done. You may disagree with what I’m doing. If so, take the matter up with God. I’m not much interested in what anyone thinks, one way or the other.
Lest you think I’m some wild-eyed gnat in a hurricane, however, I thought I’d pass along a bit of historical information you might not have heard before. It occurred to me you ought to know that Protestants who try to discredit my restoration efforts are rejecting their own Protestant heritage—be it Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Christian, Pentecostal, etc.
I don’t mind Protestant folks disagreeing with what I teach. That’s their God-given prerogative. It’s the rejection of what I’m trying to do that doesn’t ring true. After all, restoration of long-lost Truth is a time-honored Protestant tradition. Maybe they don’t know that. But I do, and being the orthodox Protestant that I am, I wouldn’t want to break with that tradition now, would I?

The Problem With Liars? They Always Try to Rewrite History
This is the fourth in a series of articles that, when complete, will explain how the Prophets concealed the first of seven messages hidden in the Hebrew Scriptures by their use of the ancient Hebrew idioms “build a house,” “raise up a seed,” and “make a name.” The first three articles in the series appeared in the July 1996, October 1997, and October 2005 issues, and a fourth article that should have been attributed to the series appeared in the October 2002 issue. This article continues to track the promise as it was handed down as an oral blessing in the Book of Genesis. It concludes with Jacob handed down different parts of the promise to his various sons.
Just Keep Thinkin’ Those Happy Thoughts
In this article, the author sarcastically confronts the ridiculous “Christian” belief that what one believes does not matter. The article quotes extensively from John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion to show just how far the Protestant Church has moved away from the doctrinal beliefs of the Protestant Reformers. The point of the article is this, Satan has already deluded anyone who thinks salvation by faith can be attained by believing a lie.
The AntiChrist
The Book of Revelation describes the appearance of the Antichrist in terms of parabolic images that few, if any, today understand. Yet the disciples of John, the Apostle who authored the Book of Revelation, insist he taught his own disciples what they meant. In this booklet, two Early Church leaders—Irenæus and Hippolytus, who were second- and third-generation disciples of John—explain some of what they knew about the Antichrist. This book contains excerpts from The Advent of Christ and AntiChrist.
