Greetings, beloved. It has been much too long since I sat down and explained how discipleship is supposed to work for the professing Christian.
For starters, the person who wishes to serve the Church, and in a larger context, Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, the person MUST be educated in the Word of God. From befinning to end.
The best method, which was taught to me by the Holy Spirit, was to LISTEN without distraction, the ENTIRE King James Version of the Bible. I was given the King James because it IS the most concise version of the Scriptures IN ENGLISH. The modern day hirelings don't like it because they ARE HIRELINGS and are more interested in peddling what the JESUIT RUN SEMINARY INSTITUTIONS tell them to peddle.
The KJV is translated from the RECEIVED TEXT and NOT the Alexandrian Text.
This is PARAMOUNT in every walk of Our FAITH. From food, to drink. Our very prayers are dependant on this (Proverbs 28:9). Our understanding of the New Testament is COMPLETELY DEPENDANT on the hearing of the Old Testment.
This, is step one in the discipleship process.
I encourage every listener of this ministry to get a vopy of the KJV of the Holy Bible in audio format. The Alexander Scourby narration is the BEST version available and it is also the least expensive. It is usually under 20 dollars.
No 20 bucks could ever be as well spent as this.
Afterwards, this ministry here on Sermon Audio, for free, is your next step. I don't charge money for it and never will (Lord Willing).
I hope to engage with some of you here on the blog, or in email after you have completed listening to the Bible in its entirety.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you.
Pastor Duane
