Dear Friends of the Ministry… Greetings!

This is not your usual Newsletter or Update, but things happen.

I started out to do an article on the Founding Fathers and Freemasonry and just gave in to the need to create a tract on this important issue of such long standing. I found a 100 year-old document that had the answers we still need today. Take a look at it and use it, copy it however you need to use it. It will be on the web in a few weeks.

An apology is in Order regarding orders for my new audio teachings on Mormonism and Freemasonry. Seems we have had problems with the masters but should have them out in the next few weeks. I will be sending a bonus gift to make up for our  extreme tardiness.

What was meant for an Update has turned into what is becoming a new book on Mormonism. My co-Author of the book, God Makers II, Caryl Matrisciana, suggested we modernize our book [out of print for about ten years] and do a reprint. However, as I cleaned out whole sections and began the rewrite, I soon discovered that some of the new issues on the subject, such as DNA proof that the Book of Mormon is a hoax and other recent evidences of fraud made for an entirely new book.  Ready by early fall, It’s title will be: My Kingdom Come! - The Mormon Quest for Godhood.

We are still trying to raise the needed funds to move our videos over to DVD format and our audio tapes to CD.

If you are able to help in any way, let us hear from you. One gift of $5,000 would have the DVDs converted and ready to reproduce.

My very  dear precious Mother, Anne Decker, went to be with the Lord on June 17^th. A devout Christian all her life, Mom quietly slipped away at her home at age 89. She had a smile for everyone; never a harsh word and no son loved his mother more than I. While she longed for heaven, our family will miss her so much.  She leaves a hole in my heart.

I WONDER WHAT IT MEANS?

I was thinking the other day about the Mormon form of Communion. They don’t call it Communion. They call it The Sacrament.   It doesn’t fit the normal definition for sacrament, which is the term for a formal church ritual frequently described as an outward and visible sign of an internal and spiritual grace. Most Protestant denominations only recognize two: Baptism and Communion. Some include Ordination. The Mormons baptize and ordain, but they call Communion “The Sacrament.”

Mormon ‘Sacrament’ consists of water and regular white bread, such as Wonder Bread.   Since becoming a born again Christian and taking “Communion”, I have felt that the LDS Sacrament has washed away the reality of Christ’s shed blood on Calvary with water - diluting His gift of true salvation for us, his shed blood - leaving just works in its place.

The other day I was thinking about that Wonder Bread. While most churches use unleavened wafer types of bread, the Mormons use leavened bread. While I don’t think the world will come to an end if you have used leavened bread for your communion, I realized that the Biblical warnings about unleavened bread were tied to false teachers and false doctrines.

In Matthew, Jesus warned his disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees [Matt: 16: 6-12].

They finally understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. [Verse 12.]

In Mark, 8:15. He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

In Luke 12:1, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

In First Corinthians 5:7, we are told to, "Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us."

A study of Exodus shows that there was a purpose for the Feast of Unleavened Bread that sanctified the people, as an Everlasting Ordinance [Exodus 12:17]

It is no wonder the Mormon leaders removed the Biblical reasoning behind the use of unleavened bread and have replaced it with Wonder Bread. It is the representation of their false doctrines that continues, in every way, to shut their people way from the simple act of Christ’s death on the Cross for the lost, for them.

The Mormons will not find it in the Cross, because it has been removed from their sight and they will never find it in their sacrament of water and wonder Bread.

I am a very Strange Place, I am continually rejoicing at the great fruit of this ministry and yet, I have such deep concern over the gravity of our lack of ministry finances this summer.

Some of you are so unbelievably generous, that I am stunned when you send in a gift. Others send in what you can, when you can. Every gift is precious! We are so very grateful for everyone of you.

Please pray about being a very generous partner this summer. We are unable to respond to many needs that are urgent and for the sake of the ministry, I am asking you each to send in a special gift to help us make it until September. Please don’t be offended that I ask.  It is just that the need is so pressing.
