Do you know who we are and what we do?
When most people are asked this question, those who use our resources, "Into Thy Word" and "Discipleship Tools," they assume a large organization is behind us.
Why? Because we have more and better resources, and better platforms that the big ministries and Christian business do not have. Thus, they assume we are one of the big guys. This is humbling and flattering and a cause for concern.
We strive to produce the very best research and exegesis to make effectual biblical resources for you and for pastor s all over the world. And, have them on the best websites, social media and structures possible. And we do not charge for them! Most do not even strive for this. We work hard and do our best for God's glory. But, we are not one of the 'big guy' ministries. There are no big budgets or pockets or organizations behind us. We are a small mission organization and for over 35 years been striving for biblical excellence and "true Truth" for God glory.
We need your financial support and prayers to carry on the ministry!

Monthly Bible Study Article The Call to Bear the Fruit of the Spirit So we need to ask ourselves if we are bearing Fruit? How do we know? We would be Fruitful . This is the simple call to be obedient, to multiply the seed given to us and work it. Primary, we are to make disciples of His Word. We are to point to Christ, never to ourselves! We need disciples of Christ, not of people like ourselves! We need fruitful believers and mature leaders. This is a standard call of God to do something productive and effectual with our life and faith. Think of it like this: to have a great gift like salvation, and do nothing with it is a great insult to the gift giver. Who gives us these gifts and why? God! And being Fruitful, is a proof of sincere devotion of faith. Not doing so, our betrayal, our ingratitude and nonuse, so we produce its opposite, rotten fruits, which would prove that one is either not saved or highly disobedient and foolish (Isa. 27:6; Hos. 14:4-8). (Matt. 6:10; Rom. 5:1-5; 12:1-21; 1 Cor. 12:1-14:40; Gal. 5:16-26; Eph. 4:1-6:20; 2 Peter 1:3-9).

Being Loyal to Christ and His Bride
This is all about betraying God by committing not only acts of immorality, but disrespecting His Word and ignoring or failing to teach and pass on His precepts-the prime responsibility of a church leader and pastor. The majority of people in John's day had no reservations or protests to following an evil empire and being used by them. Their belief was that one has a license to sin; thus, one does not need to be obedient to God, His precepts, civil law, or any moral standards, and many Christians felt as they do today, they do not have a need to bear fruit. God says this is evil as it portrays evil as being good. This can also be practicing and promoting trends that dilute God's truth, using it as an excuse for extreme immorality and wickedness (Judges 17:6; Jer. 2:31-37; Rom. 6:1-2; 14-15; 13:8, 10; Gal. 5:14; 6:2; Gal. 5:22-25; James 2: 14-26; Jude 4; Rev. 2:20).

Ideas to consider: (Romans 12:18; 14:18-19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14) The leadership must be able to steer the church through rough white waters! (See our articles on Conflict Resolution, Gossip, and Hypocrisy,and Matthew 18) The best way to deal with conflict is to combat it through love. When people know that you love them and will listen to them, it is difficult for them to be mad. Love, indeed, covers a multitude of sins! ( Proverbs 10:12 1 Peter 4:8)
Pray that your Church and Pastor take accountability seriously and each be protected and have people they are accountable to. Also, that each would cultivate and pursue healthy relationships (Gal. 6: 1-10; Eph. 5:21).
