It’s time

This website is a miracle. And it’s time to start using it.

I started this path over 20 years ago. My wife challenged me to find Sunday worship in the bible. I took the challenge and lost. Like most people who have come to the knowledge of the truth, that initial reading of the bible started a change that I could not control. Not only is Sunday not in the bible, the other key doctrines of mainstream Christianity aren’t either. In fact, they often contradict the bible. Just reading the words in a normal modern translation uncovered so many errors that it was alarming.

What happens to us when we undergo this transformation is rather, well, violent, for lack of a better word. We go through a period of testing literally everything that we learned in church. And we often alienate our families and friends, trying to drag them along. Our world has been shaken to its core. And the urgency of “getting it right” seems immediate. Each error corrected seems like we were just snatched from the fire, so we keep moving, in search of doctrinal perfection regardless of the consequences. This time period is usually 3-4 years fore each individual.

Once I settled into the faith once delivered, I miraculously found a local congregation that was quite aligned with my new belief system. These folks allowed me to continue growing. They had patience, helped me to learn administration, and learn how to be a public speaker. This website was born, roughly 15 years ago, while I was in that congregation. I asked God, “why did you show me all this? What am I supposed to do with it?” Then I got a new computer that made the creation of websites remarkably easy. Then began FirstCenturyChristianity.net.

This website has effectively sat idle with just the key doctrines we hold dear for over 8 years. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, it is in the top searches for those seeking the truth about the Trinity, Easter, and Christmas. It has never had any paid marketing or search engine optimization (other than the automatic stuff). In April of 2021, this site got more traffic in one day than I’ve seen on my other sites for a month. And it was people looking for the truth about Easter.

Since then, I have been wondering what Yahweh was trying to tell me with the traffic. The site had been static for a very long time with decent traffic. That increase in April of 2021, and subsequent spikes, had to mean something.

If we take a step back and realize what has happened in the last two years, I think it becomes clear. People have exited the mainstream churches in favor of online only. Without the influence of the paid ministers, they are searching the scriptures on their own. Without the peer pressure of attending large congregations, they are more likely to make doctrinal changes. And they need to find the truth. Short, simple truth, packaged in a way they can understand.

So now is the time. I will ask you all to pray for this ministry to reach the people being called out of Babylon. And pray for me, that the Ruach ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit, guides my words and my keyboard. All for Yahweh’s glory, in the Name of His Son, Yeshua.
