Reconstruction

Hello Students,

Having been raised as a Lutheran, then becoming a Baptist (Baptist Bible colleges and seminaries, Baptist pastor and Bible camp director), then becoming a Pentecostal, and finally an Apostolic, having experienced deception I am determined to be Biblical in all of my teachings!

Typically, man's teachings are not Biblically based. Most Apostolics have a solid foundation in soteriology, but from that point on they are basically Baptististic. Why?

My goal is to have Biblically based church meetings, Bible college and seminary classes, books, booklets, charts, sermons, etc.

This requires me to use the Bible and the Bible only to determine doctrine, church structure, attitudes, etc.

I must reconstruct most of what I have been taught to agree with Jesus' teachings.

What about you? Do you want to be totally Biblically based? What about those thoughts you have had about why you do what you do? Are you tired of dead worship meetings? Are you tired of having the same church meeting format from Sunday to Sunday? What will happen to you if you step out of the mold? Will your denomination excommunicate you?

In Jesus,
Bruce

Apostolic Tracts in Foreign Languages

Hello Friends,

Do you need tracts written in foreign languages?

Below is a link to Apostolic tracts.

There is a large problem with these tracts from the UPCI, they use Satan's perverted bibles. The only Bible available today that is acceptable is the King James Bible. All other so-called Bibles are perversions. Someday hopefully, real Christians will translate a New Testament based on Jesus' preserved Word. Until then, the King James Bible is the best!

http://www.globaltracts.com/

A thought would be to take the foreign language tract, then replace the perverted Scriptures with Jesus' best translation. If you would like to know which is the best in a certain language, please email me.

Klein's Year in Review

Hello Friends,

Looking back at 2010:

We traveled to Canada, Israel, and twice to Mexico.

We started a local New Testament church in Kaplan, Louisiana.

We ministered in many churches in the USA.

We did a lot of writing of Christian material.

Please pray for us as we serve Jesus Christ this coming year.

In Jesus,
Bruce

Your Past doesn’t have to Dictate Your Future!

These words sound good, but Biblically I can show you they are true.

Turn in your Bible to 2 Corinthians 5:1-18

1. Old things are passed away and all things are become new.

(Verse 16 says “henceforth” meaning from this time forward.)

2. We are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

3. He is no longer holding things that have been put under the blood against us.

4. How do we put things under the blood of Jesus?

a. You repent of your sins. True repentance is not just crocodile tears and sorrow because you were caught doing wrong. It is making an about face turn from sin and walking the other way. (Matthew 3:2, Matthew 3:8, Matthew 4:17, Acts 2:38, 2 Corinthians 7:9, 10, 11)

b. Water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ is for the washing away of sin. If you haven’t been baptized Biblically, consider it. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:41, Acts 16:15, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21)

c. The infilling of the Holy Spirit which gives us the resurrection power of Jesus Christ living on the inside of us also gives us power to:

1. Witness (Acts 1:8)

2. Overcome sin (1 John 5:4)

3. Be raised from death unto life with Jesus Christ (John 5:24, Romans 5:21, 2 Corinthians 2:16, 1 John 3:14, Romans 8:11)

Regardless of your current lifestyle or whatever things you have done in the past the Bible says that becoming a Christian according to what the Bible teaches is a brand new life.

‘Casting out Demons’

Some Christians teach Jesus spent 1/3 of His ministry casting out demons, another 1/3 of His ministry healing the sick and raising the dead and 1/3 of His ministry was teaching and preaching.

Is every Christian to be casting out demons? YES!

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” Mark 16:17

The above verse is teaching that everyone who believes is to be casting out demons (devils). A sign following a true believer is his or her ability to cast out demons. Do you believe? Then why don’t you cast out demons?

Do you desire to know how to cast out demons?

Come to Acadian Lighthouse Church to receive training, so you too can cast out demons!

All Christians are to be Involved in the Healing Ministry

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:17-18

“Verily, verily, I (Jesus) say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12

At Acadian Lighthouse Church, we take the Holy Bible literally! One of our members had a knee that was very painful. It had been very painful for along time. One of our members who has the Gifts of Healing laid hands on her, then Jesus Christ healed her. Today, she is walking around town without any pain in her knees! Thank you, Jesus!

All who come to Jesus get healed:

“..and healed all that were sick.” Matthew 8:16 (Matthew 15:30-31)

“..who (Jesus) went about … healing all..” Acts 10:38

“..any sick with divers diseases ... healed them.” Luke 4:40

Other Christians healed all:

“..they were healed every one.” (Saint Peter) Acts 5:16

“..others.. which had diseases.. came.. were healed.” (Saint Paul) Acts 28:9

“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;..” James 5:14-15

What is Life All About?

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” Luke 12:12-15

Many people today are at odds with each other over things that will not matter when death comes knocking on their door. I like the old joke about a man meeting Peter at heaven’s gate carrying a huge suit case of gold. Peter had him open the suitcase and laughed at the contents. He then asked why in the world was a suitcase of road pavement so important? “The Bible speaks of streets of purest gold. Earthly treasures are not as important when you look at them in perspective. Let’s walk in divine precepts now. Treasure what is important. Treasure your family and friends. This is a new year and many are dieting. How about giving up things like resentment, guilt, unforgiveness and all the things that are spiritual weights this year? I promise you will feel better and look better.

Why Learn Biblical Greek?

Why are there over 100 English translations of the New Testament? Why are there so many English translations of the same Biblical Greek phrase? Which English translation is correct? The original preserved Majority Byzantine Greek Biblical manuscripts are correct. The Greek New Testament is the New Testament! All English Bibles are translations.

Some areas where the English Bible is not correctly translating the Greek Bible (NT manuscripts)
Verse	Word(s) from Translation	Right Word for Greek	Actual Greek Word
Matthew 28:1	“of the week”	Sabbath	σαββάτων
Mark 16:2	“of the week”	Sabbath	σαββάτων
Acts 20:7	“of the week”	Sabbath	σαββάτων
Acts 12:4	“Easter”	Passover	πασχα

By learning Biblical Greek, you can have a better understanding of what Jesus Christ is trying to say to you. He wants you to know the truth about the “Sabbath”. He wants you to know the truth about His love, etc. Greek is easy!

You are invited to attend the Biblical Greek course at Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College. Classes starts January 22. You may also take courses in Biblical Theology, Old Testament Survey, Spiritual Gifts, etc. Everyone can be a student!

Light for Your Path

Faith in Jesus Christ is part of the greatest inheritance you can give or receive.

I was preaching last Sunday about faith. As a child, I can still remember the faith of my Grandmother Anastazie Guidry Dartez. She had a framed print of Jesus Christ praying on his knees at a rock, hanging on her bedroom wall. I have searched for several years all over the internet and in different art and antique shops for that picture to no avail! I had mentioned it during the sermon.

Monday morning when I opened my front door to my surprise there sat a copy of it on my doorstep. I asked everyone who was at the church meeting; none of them had placed the framed picture by our door! The Lord told someone to come to my house and put it there. It was exactly the same print and just as old. I cried for an hour after finding that picture.

I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for my heritage. I grew up in a family that prays and believes Jesus is God and answers prayer. I am so grateful that the path to Jesus was laid out before me. I had a Mother and Grandmother who prayed daily.

The Apostle Paul spoke of such faith being passed down from one generation to another in the following passage: “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.” 2 Timothy 1:5

Keep praying even though you don’t think the situation is changing. Jesus answers prayer. Keep pointing your children down the right path.

Which Bible Should You Use? King James Version vs. New International Version

If you have a book like the New International Version, New American Standard, Revised Standard Version, etc., please look-up these verses: Matthew 17:21 – Matthew 18:11 – Matthew 23:14 –Mark 7:16 – Mark 9:44 – Mark 9:46 – Mark 11:26 – Mark 15:28 – Luke 17:36 – Luke 23:17 – John 5:4– Acts 8:37 – Acts 15:34 – Acts 24:7 – Acts 28:29 – Roman 16:24

Who doesn’t want you to know the facts left out? Satan! He left out Words when he quoted God’s Words to Eve. He left out Words when he quoted God’s Words to Jesus in the wilderness. Satan continues to cause Words to be edited from Jesus’ Holy Bible. In the New Testament alone, there are 64,000 less Words in the New International Version than the King James Version!

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Luke 21:33

“But the Word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25

“For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

Majority Byzantine Greek Manuscripts vs. Minority Edited Gnostic Alexandrian Critical Greek Manuscripts

Majority Byzantine Greek Manuscripts – Greek NT for the King James Version More than 5,000 Greek manuscripts

Edited Minority Gnostic Alexandrian Critical Greek Manuscripts – Greek NT for the New International Version, and most new books. Less than 40 Greek manuscripts.

At Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College, we teach Biblical truth! We don’t have a denomination to please! Classes start January 22, 2011. Come to learn more truth and Biblical Greek.

Knowledge of the Word Changes Your Life

Col 3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

In studying this scripture this morning I began to look at the Greek manuscript. In clarifying the text the word man is added but in reality the preceding scripture Col 3:9 refers to the word anthropos

Not lying to one another is mentioned also in Col 3:9

The definition of lying here is ψεῦδος pseudos

Pseudos means false. To give a false impression would also qualify as lying. Anything that is defined as pseudos means false or something that appears to be true and even has the appearance of truth but is indeed not the real thing when closely examined.

In Jesus Christ we no longer do and say the things we used to do before we came to Him.
How do we do this?

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Yet we have to wonder how is my mind renewed? How can my mind be transformed? Is it done automatically? Lets look to the scripture for another text that has out answer:

First of all, we have to give some of our own effort or self will over to Jesus in this matter.
The Bible says to put off lying and anger. These are choice we make every day. We have the choice to sin or not to sin. Knowing the consequences of sin as a Christian we need to make the
Biblical choice. There is not excuse the Bible says we sin when we are drawn away by our own lusts.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Prov 17:27; Eccl 5:2;
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein , he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

We have some things we need to put in order that we might match up to the life the Word is calling us to. Yes, the Holy Ghost changes us but we also have to give our will over to obey the will of the Lord.

Look at these scriptures Titus 3:2-5

2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Phil 4:5;
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Secondly, the scripture speaks of the Renewing of the Holy Ghost. We have given a new life by the Spirit of the Lord.

Here is what 2Peter chapter 1 has to say about it:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. I
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

What example does the Bible give of a servant who knows the Lord's will yet does not apply it to his life?
Luke 12:47-48

47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes .
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

These are some things to think about today. I hope this helps you along your path of
living for Jesus Christ.

In Jesus,
Dana Klein

Light for Your Path

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2

It is so amazing how such good things can come from small places. The name “Bethlehem” literally means , “House of Bread”. It is in this small place that Jesus Christ was born. The Lord kept this promise. This small town of Bethlehem was a pivotal point in history for God’s people.

The Prophet Isaiah wrote the following prophecy:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

We find in Matthew 1:21 the following words which fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy:

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” Matthew 1:21-25

Jesus is all the things Isaiah said He would be. He is the “child” promised. He is the “son” given. He is “wonderful.” He is our “Counsellor.” He is the “Mighty God.” He is the “Everlasting Father.” He is the “Prince of Peace.”

Wait as David the King Waited!

“And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.” 1 Samuel 16:1

“Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.” 1 Samuel 16:13

“David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” 2 Samuel 5:4

David became king at the age of thirty, and he reigned forty years in all. David waited for Jehovah’s time for him to reign over Israel. David waited possibly thirteen to seventeen years for God’s Words to be fulfilled. During some of this period of waiting, David was fleeing from Saul who was determined to kill him. The point is David held to Jehovah’s promise patiently waiting his time as king. The Holy Bible doesn’t have him speaking about his kingship. David simply waited.

The application for Christians is to receive your personal promise by direct or indirect revelation then believe the promise will be fulfilled in Jesus’ time frame. If you have been told you will minister in Mexico, wait and stay committed to Jesus. He will fulfill his promise.

Biblical Theology vs. Systematic Theology

At Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College, we teach only Biblical Theology!

Why? What is the difference between Biblical theology and systematic theology?

Biblical Theology is based only on what the Bible teaches!

Systematic theology is based on the systematic theology of the denomination’s theology. Systematic theology searches for verses to support the denomination’s theology.

‘Biblical theology is not systematic theology or exegesis; nor is it merely a different arranging of the same material.’ Dr. Charles Ryrie, Biblical Theology of the New Testament, Pg. 9

Creation vs. Evilution (Evolution)

Are there any facts to support 'evilution', NO! Since there aren’t facts to support evolution, it is not even a theory; it is a hypothesis. ‘A hypothesis is an educated guess at how something will happen while a theory is a hypothesis that has been proven. Once you develop a hypothesis you can test it out in hopes that you can make a theory out of your guess.’ Ask.com

Progression of Man? Evilutionist's so-called ‘Proof’ There is not a missing link!

Light for Your Path

Every year our family celebrates Hanukkah or the Feast of the Dedication. Jesus celebrated this feast as we can see in the book of John 10:22, “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.” Our children get so excited about this time of year, because we give them gifts and make ‘Potato Latkes’. We tell again the wonderful story of how our God miraculously kept the Temple candlestick lit for eight days with only one days supply of oil. We then go on to teach them how He came in human flesh as Jesus Christ. The Bible says in John chapter one that all things were made by Him. Verse Five says that the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. The same chapter teaches that He was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.

John the Revelator saw Jesus while he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos and described His countenance as the sun shineth in his strength and He said to John, “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”, Revelation 1:18.

We can give gifts and fix traditional food, and it is such a good thing, but the greatest thing we can give our children is faith in Jesus Christ. No other gift has such lasting value. When we light our Menorah I am always reminded of the old Sunday School song verse we still sing , “This little light of mine. I’m going to let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Who is Jesus Christ?

If you were to ask most pastors, seminary graduates, people in the pew, ‘who is Jesus Christ’? Their answer would be ‘He is the Son of God’. That answer is true. If you were to ask them, ‘is Jesus God?’ They would probably hesitate as they say, ‘I don’t know.’ When I ask those I would meet, ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Most would respond, ‘He is the Son of God.’ Then I would ask, ‘Is Jesus God.’ They would give an excuse as to why they didn’t know who is Jesus Christ! Ask your pastor, priest, friend etc. ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Please let me know their answer.

The Holy Bible clearly tells us Jesus Christ is God!

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23

“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." 1 John 5:20

"But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" (Why is He coming in the likeness of men? Because, He's God!) Philippians 2:7

What is Your Title??????

Hello Friend,

In this day and age everyone wants a title. It seems few are content with the address of politeness such as Mr., Mrs. or Miss.
The Holy Bible does not address Paul as Apostle Paul, or Missionary Paul, Etc. A title is never used before any of the Apostles' names! Sure, Paul was an apostle, missionary, saint etc. Did he need a title before his name to give him self esteem or a sense of worth.
Christians seem to need a title. Why?

Here, pick out a title: (smile)

Abbe, Abbess, Abbot, Ananda, Angel, Apostle of Humility, Apostolic Scribe, Arch cardinal, Arch Deacon, Arch Priest, Archbishop, Ascetic Gnostic, Bible Historian, Bishop, Brahman, Canon, Cantor, Cardinal, Channel, Child of the Universe, Colonel, Cure, Deacon, Dervish, Directress, Disciple, Druid, Elder, Emissary, Evangelist, Faith Healer, Father, Field Missionary, Free Thinker, Friar, Goddess, Gothi, Guru, Hadji, Gythia, Healing Minister, High Priest, High Priestess, Imam, Lama, Lay Sister, Magus, Martyr, Messenger, Metropolitan, Minister of Music, Minister of Peace, Missionary Doctor, Missionary Healer, Missionary of Music, Missionary Priest, Missionary, Monk, Monsignor, Most Reverend, Mystical Philosopher, Orthodox Monk, Parochial Educator, Pastor, Pastor General, Patriarch, Peace Counselor, Preacher, Preceptor, Priest, Priestess, Prophet, Psychic Healer, Rabbi, Rector, Religious Preacher, Revelator, Reverend Mother, Reverend, Reverend Father, Right Reverend, Saint, Saintly Healer, Scribe, Seer, Shaman, Soul Therapist, Spiritual Counselor, Spiritual Healer, Spiritual Warrior, Starets, Swami, Teller, Thanatologist, The Very Esteemed, Universal Philosopher of Absolute Reality, Universal Rabbi, Universal Religious Philosopher, Vicar, Wedding Officiant Wizard, Etc., Etc.

In our church, we address each other as brother, sister, pastor, etc.

In Jesus,

Light For Your Path

Psalm 30:11 "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."

Maybe for you, Thanksgiving time is not a time of rejoicing, but a time of remembering the joy once shared with a particular loved one. My mother died at Thanksgiving, and it was several years before I could consider it again a happy time. We don’t always understand our trials in life. Certain situations can make God appear cruel instead of loving. We can feel robbed instead of blessed or thankful. Please don’t give up. Hang onto faith like Job did.

Job was a good man in every way. He even got up in the mornings and offered sacrifices in case his family had cursed God in any way (Job 1:5). When his trial was the heaviest, his words were full of sorrow. His own wife had no words of comfort, and did not understand how he could maintain integrity. In Job 42:10, we see the Lord turning around Job’s situation when he prayed for his friends. Yes, God allowed Job to experience pain when He could have prevented it. Job held on to faith when he did not understand his trial and by doing so the Bible says in Job 42:12, “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning”. How about praying that same scripture from Job 42:12 for your situation? Lord bless the remainder of my life more than the beginning.

May the Lord give “... you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that you might be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified”, Isaiah 61:3.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Matthew 7:21-23

Hello Friends,

Jesus said:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21 What does Jesus say you must do to enter into the kingdom of Heaven? You must do the will of your Father which is in heaven!

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Matthew 7:22 You can do many great works for Jesus, but unless you are doing the works He tells you to do, you are not going to Heaven.

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:23 Hell awaits for those who do holy works that are not directed by Jesus.

"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15 True pastors must feed knowledge and understanding to you. Their desire should be to enable you to arrive in heaven. No one left behind! The pastor must teach Jesus’ teachings from His Holy Bible. You must learn how to know and do Jesus’ will, moment by moment.

Acadian Lighthouse Church Services

Hello Friends,

The church service at Arcadian Lighthouse Church, where we pastor started at 10 am and ended at 4:00 pm this past Sunday. The church provides lunch; we break for about an hour. Then Jesus starts the meeting again. One man had demons cast out, another had his knee healed, etc. etc. Jesus is real!!!! He was truly in our mist.

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them , and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20 KJV

Are you tired of warming a pew? Come to really have church! Come to be used of Jesus! Come to learn what your spiritual gifts are and how to use them. There are 17 spiritual gifts.

"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." 1 Corinthians 14:26 KJV

This is not a one man show, with a man sitting on his throne in control of his subjects! Some pastors have eunuchs sitting beside him.

In our church meetings, Jesus is in control as the chief shepherd.

With Jesus Christ in control, the meetings are very exciting! One doesn't know what Jesus is going to do next!

Jesus is our Lord and God!

In Jesus,
Bruce & Dana
