An Introduction Note: Your visit here is appreciated, and questions and
comments are welcome and held confidential. This web site is designated as
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 Feature pages herein). It is always
the desire and hope here to obey and honor our Lord, and encourage and seek the
spiritual welfare of all people.
The concern for souls is that they be saved for eternal blessing in heaven, and obey and follow the Word of God here in this life to honor God. If readers desire to be saved from coming judgment, and/or are looking for a truly scriptural fellowship in the world, they are encouraged to write here for help and to find a sound assembly.
Papers and comments here are changed periodically, and are personal convic-
tions. 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.
If readers find this site to be of some help, and each invite one friend or acquaintance to visit here, it might prove good for others too. It is hoped all will find some ministry to help, and perhaps a nice challenge for their faith. Surely "the time is short", as God says, and surely we need to also "be about (our) Father's business". See the message and testimony at
[We are born and live in the element of time, and do not much comprehend the thought of eternity, but we are created as eternal beings and will dwell some- where after our body dies. Our Creator God desires that we choose to be with Him forever, rather than with Satan in condemnation.]
Whatever one might choose to think about life, death, and eternity, the truth of the Word of God is that "after death, the judgment". This is not speaking of a court room and a defense and negotiations. The court room is here now. See the book of Romans ---chapter three and chapter five; and note that we are already found GUILTY. We are awaiting the sentence at the judgment time and need to plead for mercy NOW, and see the salvation of God in the atonement of Christ. Salvation is not found in religion, but ONLY in God's beloved Son. There will be no pleas heard at the judgment of the "GREAT WHITE THRONE". It will then be too late. God says: "...Behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2).
Man may reason about these things, but no one knows the truth of it except God, so God needs to be heard. There is really an urgency to be settled with the only hope given man for "after life" salvation; and one is implored by our Creator God in His Holy Word to hear Him, receive His Son, and be saved. OUR DEMISE MAY BE EVEN TODAY!
What does the reader know about the Word of God? Does one want to know? That is the real question for man to answer. One needs to read their Bible, especially noting John 3:35-36, and 1Jn. 5: 11-15. Can you say you are saved and a worshipper of God? -R. DeWitt, 5/09
