NOTE: If readers find this site to be of some help, and would like to help this ministry, they can each invite friends or acquaintances to visit here, There is no obligation and no funds are solicited or wanted.

Surely "the time is short", as God says, and surely we need to also "be about (our) Father's business". Please see the message and testimony at Site Manager Page. - Richland, Washington, USA
See thoughts about Brethren From 1827, and God's recovery of church truth for His testimony and our pathway as believers.
THE PURPOSE: Your visit here is appreciated, and questions and comments are welcome and held confidential. This web site is www.BibleCounsel.homestead.com and is non-sectarian ministry to encourage the reading of God's Word, and for serious seeking after truth. It values God's work of revival in the early 1800's, with which it is associated, and urges readers to learn about it (see Church Truth page and the Feature pages herein). It is always the desire and hope here to obey and honor our Lord, and encourage and seek unity and the spiritual welfare of all people.
Papers and comments here are changed periodically, and are personal convictions. There are many pages for help and encouragement. The manager may not have answers for all questions, but is glad to share what he has and be
of some help. We need to prove it by the Word. He is not perfect and revisions and up-dates seem needed at times to clarify thoughts, so one might note the revision date on any papers they wish to copy (set your print margins at .25). Any copies made should not be altered or taken out of context when shared with others.
Winston Churchill is quoted as having once said: "Most people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing had hap-pened." Well, we do hope that we are not so indifferent to truth....right? In the Gospel by John 18:37-38, the Governor Pilate spoke to Jesus and said: "What is truth?" ---as he stood in the very presence of eternal Truth and he knew it not; nor cared he for it. May we all value the truth of the Word of God and bow to Him in faith and obedience.
Much of what you will find at this site is that which concerns basic Christian experience ---Redemption Way, Church Truth, and Spiritual Life. This first truth speaks about God's plan and purpose, sacrifice, salvation of our soul, hope, the Lord's reign and glory, and assurance of His care and love for all eternity, etc.; the second truth sets forth God's expectations for our walk in this world, worship, His testimony in unity to honor Him and obey, etc.; and the third truth is about devotion, serving, growing or maturing in the Christian faith. General ministry on Christianity is also added. Each one of these should be studied for our good, and when you have questions please feel free to write here. We can look at the Word of God together which is our only authority under God.
I hope you have a desire today to be in conformity to the mind of God, I hope you will read and pray much over what you find here on this web site. The intent here is not to just set forth opinions, but minister the Word of God by "rightly dividing the Word of Truth", as God says (2 Tim. 2:15). If you think something you read is not right, it is hoped you will inquire further so it might be reviewed to see what God intended for us. - Robert DeWitt
