Welcome!

This web site is dedicated to examining "traditions of men" as described in Mark Chapter 7 and how they relate to finances and the global economy. I feel strongly led to bring this subject matter to the mainstream of discussion for all Christians, because what is happening in the world today in these areas will have a direct impact on how you live your life, and whether or not you will be free to serve Jesus Christ without the bondage associated with a dishonest monetary system.

The global geopolitical and economic landscape is more intertwined with our lives than ever before in history, and more so than most people realize. If you do not understand this, or if you are simply not aware of it, you do not have a complete view of your world through the lens of Scripture. Simply put, your “biblical world view” is incomplete.

Today, we live in a world where “traditions of men” have corrupted biblical principles of what money is and how God directed us to use it. In the process, these traditions made the Word of God “no effect” in regards to how even some of the most dedicated followers of Christ view finance and steward God’s provision. They have succumbed to the enemy’s schemes. Thus the main focus of this ministry is to expose this evil and to shine the light of Scripture on it. Then to provide some practical, Scriptural guidance on how to escape the trap and find protection for the economic storms that are upon us today.

Satan has developed all kinds of schemes to seek, kill and destroy you as you walk daily with your Lord Jesus. But you also need to understand that he has a plan for destroying the world at large. Satan has used the process of “moral hazard” to enslave God’s people since the time of the Judges. And today, he is using this method to take advantage of man’s greed and a corrupt monetary system to enslave not just individuals, but entire nations - including the United States of America.

Praise the Lord that “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world!” In order to protect your family from the outcome of this moral hazard, the Church universal must wake up to the fact that our monetary system is unjust and an abomination to God (Proverbs 20:10). It is a “tradition of men” that has led us away from the purity and simplicity of God’s Word. And if left unchallenged by His people, it will bring judgment as surely as the moral hazards of the past.

Is it too late? The Bible warns us in 1 Timothy 6:9-11, that the love of money is the root of all evil. The United States, indeed the entire world, has traveled far down the path of corrupt money, greed and an unbibilical use of debt. The outcome is uncertain by everyone except God. The situation, as you will learn, is urgent. But we can rejoice! We live in exciting times! God will use any perceived strength of the enemy against himself as he prepares a world for the return of His Son Jesus Christ! Again, I say rejoice!

This ministry will help you to become aware of what is happening in your world and also how to take biblical steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from any challenges that are coming to our country. What you will find here is the strong truth of God’s Word. As you read, it is possible you will discover that you too have been deceived by the enemy. You may see that you are in bondage to “the world” in ways you were not aware of. Remember Romans 8:1 - “there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.” Simply take steps to reclaim ground the enemy has taken. And in any way this ministry can help, we stand ready to do so.
