Last Days Ministries - Keith Green

Keith Green was a man who impacted an entire generation. His music and his life was much like a racing flame -- on fire with vibrance and passion for Jesus Christ. Those who knew Keith best will tell you that his zeal for Jesus could flare like a whip of fire when he saw Christians compromising with the world. And yet, his life was seasoned with humor and a keen awareness of his own human frailties. Mostly, Keith was burdened with reaching the lost and broken with the true message of the Gospel - and challenging Christians to give 100% to Jesus. And in the last few months of his life, the Lord turned Keith's heart once again toward the lost. He wanted to go back out into the streets, the prisons, and the nations to reach those without God. He wanted to sing to them. He wanted to tell them how much Jesus loved them. However, it was not to be...

Keith's music and ministry still live on today. The power and anointing God placed on Keith's life can still be heard and felt in his music and teachings. He was strong, persistent, and hard to ignore. He spoke the truth we needed to hear then, and perhaps like never before, need to hear now. In the seven brief years that Keith knew Jesus, he trumpeted a wake-up call to Christians everywhere. "It’s time to quit playing church and start being the Church," Keith said.

Chick Publications

A pastor who recently called us summed up the life and ministry of Jack Chick quite well. He said, "The thing I appreciate most about Jack Chick is that thirty years ago when I read my first Chick tract, it was a pure soul winning tract, presenting the gospel in a simple format that anyone could understand. Today, thirty years later, he hasn’t changed a bit. While many other Christian leaders have left soul winning far behind, Jack Chick is still faithfully producing easy-to-understand soul winning gospel tracts with a salvation message that anyone can understand. He has never swerved or strayed from his calling to share the gospel with the lost multitudes around the world."

After our Savior called Dr. McGee home in December of 1988, the program's reach continued to grow. Today, Thru the Bible is a worldwide ministry airing on over 800 stations in the U.S. and Canada, and heard in more than 100 languages and dialects around the world.

The Way of the Master - Ray Comfort - Kirk Cameron

150,000 people die every 24 hours—most without the Savior. We are deeply concerned that so few Christians reach out to the lost. Statistics show that this is as low as 5%. One of the reasons for this is that many don’t feel equipped. As a ministry, our sole purpose is to inspire and equip Christians—to teach them how to share the gospel simply, effectively, biblically . . . the way Jesus did.  “The Way of the Master” is non-denominational. We believe and preach that the Bible is the Word of God, and that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, crucified for the sin of the world, and that He rose again on the third day. We believe and teach that salvation is by grace, through faith, and not of works.

Koinonia House - Chuck Missler

Koinonia is a New Testament word which is most often translated to mean "communication", "fellowship", or "communion". Koinonia House, or K-House as we are affectionately called, is dedicated to the development and distribution of materials for encouraging and facilitating serious study of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

K-House was founded by Chuck and Nancy Missler. Chuck, a Naval academy graduate and former Branch Chief of the Dept. of Guided Missiles, had a remarkable 30-year executive career. He served on the Board of Directors of 12 public companies and was CEO of 6 of them. For twenty years Chuck balanced his high-profile corporate career with his teaching commitment to a weekly Bible study at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in Southern California. Nancy, while raising their four children, has touched the lives of thousands through her in-depth teaching of Biblical discoveries in her "Way of Agape" and "Be Ye Transformed" books and tape series.

After a devastating earthquake in 1992 demolished their home in Big Bear, California, Chuck and Nan moved Koinonia House to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and K-House now reaches tens of thousands through its monthly newsletter, radio shows, cassette tapes, and conferences. More than eight million study tapes have been distributed in the U.S. and in over 35 countries around the world. Thanks for visiting us on the Net. Please join us in this Grand Adventure, and let's see what the Lord will do!

The Sacred Sandwhich

In 1536, William Tyndale was condemned to death for his efforts to bring forth an English translation of the Bible for the profit of the common man. Brought to the place of execution in a town outside Brussels, he was tied to the stake, strangled by the hangman, and then consumed with fire for his so-called “heresy.”  Though Tyndale had reason to believe that he might meet such an horrific end, he never wavered in his desire to produce a translation of the Bible that would one day “cause a boy that driveth a plough to know more of the Scripture than I.”

Today, due to the zealousness of men like Tyndale and Wickliffe, Christians have a Bible of their own, in their own tongue, in which they can read and study God’s word for themselves.  Yet sadly, even now, many are scripturally illiterate. Many churchgoers don’t even bring a Bible to Sunday services, and those that do rarely open them because the scripture references from the sermon are printed on a handout or projected on a screen above the pulpit.  Surprisingly, even during Bible study classes, a personal Bible is unnecessary because the specific verses are already printed in a church textbook or study guide.

Is it any wonder that, according to recent polls by the Barna Research Group, only around half of all Protestants in America read their Bibles outside of a church setting, or that only 9% of professed born again Christians and only half of Protestant pastors have a biblical worldview? (www.barna.org)

Dear Christian, did Tyndale die in vain?

It is the considered opinion of The League of Tyndale that the most grave crisis facing the church today is the subtle downgrading of the Bible as the infallible and inerrant truth of God for which Christians must faithfully heed.  More and more, it seems, churches and the professed Christians within those institutions are being driven more by the culture and philosophy of these postmodern times than by the eternal truth of God’s Word.  At best, the Bible is being used as nothing more than a collection of quaint adages to be used in self-help programs for personal fulfillment.  At worst, church groups are abandoning the Bible as their study guide and using prepared courses based on "Christian" bestsellers that often use humanistic psychology and New Age mysticism as the foundation of their teachings.  It is for this very reason that the Fellows have produced this publication.  It is our call to the visible Church that we turn from the so-called “wisdom” of the world and acknowledge the authority and sufficiency of Scripture in all matters of faith and practice.

Calling this publication The Sacred Sandwich is not a joke.  Just as food is necessary to nourish the physical body, God’s Word is the manna from heaven that is the essential, life-giving diet of the Christian.  Scripture contains the milk, bread and meat of God’s truth, and fills us with all the nutrients necessary for our spiritual growth and well-being. This is not to say that we hold to this strict diet alone.  By no means!  Above all, we readily acknowledge the sovereign work of the Spirit in conjunction with our feeding on the Word.  Without the Spirit, we could not taste the sweetness of God’s truth, nor digest it; in fact, we would not even wish to eat it!  In the flesh, no one would find anything desirable in the Scriptures, for those in the flesh have always sought out the satisfaction of their hunger through the enticing fruits of this sinful world.  Without God’s Spirit (along with prayer and Christian fellowship), we would soon starve.

Nevertheless, Scripture is the vital staple God has prepared for His people.  Therefore the mission of The Sacred Sandwich is two-fold.  First, we desire to use this publication to proclaim sola Scriptura: the “shorthand” declaration that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the only basis of truth for the Lord's people in the Church.  Second, and more pointedly, we desire to present faithful, consistent exegesis of Scripture as a powerful and irrefutable response to much of the current error being taught in the church today.

It is our position that the postmodern church has become too enamored with the world and all its trappings.  They have slowly displaced the authority of the Scriptures with manmade traditions, cultural influences, and business practices that appeal to our earthly senses.  Like the Hebrews in the wilderness, they have grown weary of God’s heavenly manna, and have desired a return to the tempting, but empty food of their captors in Egypt.

Shall we return to our previous captivity and die in the bonds of slavery, dear Christian, or do you desire the rich sustenance of God’s Word, freely given, that brings sanctification?  As Christ declared in his high priestly prayer, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17).

We are pleased that you have found The Sacred Sandwich and are hopeful that you will find much spiritual food presented within these pages.  However, if you read no further than this introduction and feel compelled to read the Bible instead, then our work is done.

Olive Tree Ministres

Olive Tree Ministries wants you to see how you fit into His grand plan of things as the end of the age draws near. We won’t be sensational. We will, however, look to the Bible as our guide. We call on solid, dispensational teachers to speak into this ministry, who minister in a balanced way, just as we strive to do. We find it grievous that the attitude today is that when Jesus and the “end-times” come, they will come, but in the meantime, I have to live my life in the real world. Bible prophecy is for living in the real world right now. It is so important to God that it occupies 30% of Scripture.

We encourage you to watch and pray that no one deceive you; to be counted worthy to escape the coming Tribulation, and to be ready in faith. We want you to look up in hope and to be rooted in the grace of God through a personal relationship with Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, our only hope and strength.

Probe Ministries

Probe Ministries is a non-profit ministry whose mission is to assist the church in renewing the minds of believers with a Christian worldview and to equip the church to engage the world for Christ. Probe fulfills this mission through our Mind Games conferences for youth and adults, our 3 1/2 minute daily radio program, and our extensive Web site at www.probe.org.
The Christian Research Institute (CRI) was founded in 1960 by the late Dr. Walter Martin, the first evangelical Christian clergy to recognize the threat and opportunity presented to the Christian church by cults and alternative religious systems. First Peter 3:15 was the inspiration for CRI: "But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." Recognizing that the American Christian church had abdicated its position as the spiritual conscience of America's social, political, and ethical systems, Dr. Martin committed CRI to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

More than 40 years later, CRI is the largest, most effective apologetics ministry in the world. The Bible Answer Man daily live call-in radio program syndicated nationwide and available internationally via Web Site/Internet simulcast, two award-winning periodicals, hundreds of teaching cassettes and videos, a comprehensive resource catalog and bookstore, personal correspondence and customer service, research correspondence, and publications, CRI is living out Jesus' parable of the salt of the earth. CRI President Hank Hanegraaff, host of The Bible Answer Man, author of the award-winning bestsellers Christianity in Crisis , Counterfeit Revival, The Face that Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution, The Millennium Bug Debugged and Resurrection and internationally popular conference and pulpit speaker, has taken CRI into the next generation of apologetics with a vision for eternity: Mainstreaming apologetics, taking it out of the seminaries and into the hearts and hands of Christians everywhere, is the vision of CRI. We must take the best apologetic thinking by the best minds in church history and communicate it in a popular, memorable way. We do not ­dumb down apologetics, but we take the complex and make it simple, the obscure and make it clear, and the difficult to remember and make it memorable.
From the American Bible Society's founding in 1816, we have been focused on translation, publication and the distribution of Bibles to as many people as possible.

Our mission today is to make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford, so all people may experience its life-changing message.

The American Bible Society carries out its mission by:

Affirming the power of God to speak to every generation through the Holy Scriptures.
Providing translations of the Holy Scriptures that are faithful to the wording of the original language biblical texts.  Working in partnership with all Christian churches and Christian communities. Producing materials that avoid endorsing or advocating any doctrinal positions. Utilizing appropriate communication tools that allow the Word of God to come alive in individual and public life.  The vision of the American Bible Society is to meet its continuing challenges with creativity and innovation under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Among the opportunities presented in the third millennium are: The burgeoning youth population; The rapidly expanding numbers of people who seek political refuge and freedom;  The growing number of persons who seek spiritual meaning in a secular or hostile culture;  The many individuals whose main learning is in new idioms and electronic media, both audible and visual; The new media opportunities that are being developed on a routine basis.

Leonard Ravenhill was one of Britain's foremost outdoor evangelists of the 20th century. God used him to help bring thousands of people to Christ throughout Britain. Unlike the case with many of today's evangelists, the conversions that Leonard helped to bring about were generally lasting conversions. That's because he did not water down the Gospel when he preached it. Later in life, Leonard and his family moved to the United States, where he worked with Bethany House Publishers. In the 1980s, Leonard and his family moved to a home near Lindale, Texas, a short distance from Last Days Ministries. Leonard regularly taught classes at Last Days Ministries, and he was a mentor to the late Keith Green.

A. W. Tozer, who was a friend of Leonard, said this about Leonard: "To such men as this the church owes a debt too heavy to pay. The curious thing is that she seldom tries to pay him while he lives. Rather, the next generation builds his sepulcher and writes his biography?as if instinctively and awkwardly to discharge an obligation the previous generation to a large extent ignored.

"Those who know Leonard Ravenhill will recognize in him the religious specialist, the man sent from God not to carry on the conventional work of the church, but to beard the priests of Baal on their own mountain-top, to shame the careless priest at the altar, to face the false prophet and to warn the people who are being led astray by him.

"Such a man as this is not an easy companion. He is not the professional evangelist who leaves the wrought-up meeting as soon as it is over to hurry to the most expensive restaurant to feast and crack jokes with his retainers. Such evangelists will find this man something of an embarrassment, for he cannot turn off the burden of the Holy Ghost as one would turn off a faucet. He insists upon being a Christian all the time, everywhere. And again, that marks him out as different."

I first met Leonard in 1989, when he was eighty-two years old and in frail health. At first glance, I would not have thought that God could still use this fragile, white-haired man. He walked slowly and unsteadily, and he sometimes needed help to get up and down from his chair. Yet, as soon as he opened his mouth, I immediately realized that my initial impression was wrong. At eighty-two, Leonard still spoke with fire and conviction, and it felt like his eyes were piercing right through to my soul. (by David Bercot)


Apologetics Index (AI) is an online Christian ministry with a two-fold purpose:
to provide Christians with apologetics research resources on cults, sects, other religious movements, doctrines and practices, and to help non-Christians find relevant information on the same subjects.

The main objective of Discernment Ministries is to point Christians to the Word of God as their sole basis for faith and practice.

Many Christians are (often unwittingly) being led into mystical experiences and faith in something apart from the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ as expressed in the Holy Bible. Many sincere believers give more heed to an internal witness (and to their favorite minister or preacher) rather than searching the Scripture so as to confidently declare "it is written!"

Faith is not a force that we can wield to manipulate our circumstances, nor is it a means to gain "hidden truths" or "deeper knowledge" of God. These false premises are the springboard to mystical experience. It is the desire of this ministry to assist believers to assess what they hear, and test what they are taught by comparison to Scripture.

Always, the Word of God is our basis, our direction and our plumbline.
