The Jeremiah Project began in 1992 as a "print" ministry of
proclaiming God's Word to a lost and dying world. Its mailing list was limited
and compiled from names found in newspaper articles, letters to the editor, and
recommendations from others. Early in 1996, the Lord moved me to continue
publishing the material on the Internet as it greatly expanded the audience at
a much lower cost. To date, the Jeremiah Project has logged over 2.8 million
page views of material with an average of over 1,000 unique visitors per day
(far more than I could have reached by mail).
Like Jeremiah, I feel I am "only a child" and have little influence to offer discernment in this hurting and dying world, but also like Jeremiah, I am willing to obey God and proclaim Him and His Word to those who are impoverished. And I agree with the prophet Isaiah as he proclaimed the words of God...
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. [Isaiah 55:10-11]
I am saddened to see many of the errors that the modern church
is falling prey to. At times it can be so confusing for those not grounded in
God's Word as to what the truth really is. With all the competing teachings and
doctrines put forth by the various denominations, it's little wonder people can
make sense of it all. But I've learned to not rely on those teachings but
rather rely on the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit and to compare those
teachings from denominational Christianity with the teaching found in
Scripture.
I believe the message of Jeremiah is as appropriate for us
today as it was when he first delivered it. Maybe even more so as I believe
that Jesus will soon return for His church and those who have rejected His
message will be doomed to eternal damnation.
Far too many people have
one foot in the church and one foot in the world, while others don't even see
the need for the church. All the while, society blurs the distinction between
what is good and evil, true and false, and many people fall prey to its
deceptions.
My message to you is:
WAKE
UP!
Find a Bible and read for yourselves what the Creator of the
universe says. It's not a message clouded in obscurity for ages gone by.
Rather, it is a clear message for you today.
I regretfully accept the fact that not everyone who reads these pages will agree with what they find here, nor will everyone respond in a loving manner. In Scripture as well as in history we find that the truth of the gospel has generally been hated, reviled, and persecuted. In fact, Jeremiah, because he reproved the scribes for their false doctrine and wickedness, admonished the ignorant, and urged the wicked population to repent... was called by the scribes a heretic and deceiver, and by the princes a seditionist and troublemaker. Nonetheless, he was chosen of God to be a prophet and speak the words of the Lord.
I know that I cannot change others minds about what God says
through His Word. In fact, that's not my responsibility or intent. But, He has
called me to be a "watchman," if you will, and to proclaim His truth through
the ministry of the Jeremiah Project.
The Jeremiah Project is a
response to the
"famine in our land of hearing the words of the Lord" - Amos 8:11
Statement of Faith
I Believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and
authoritative Word of God.
I Believe there is one God,
eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I Believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth,
sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, bodily
ascension into heaven, and His personal return once again in power and
glory.
I Believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. That salvation cannot
be gained by human effort, but only through God's grace in the redemption He
provided in Jesus Christ, a redemption which is responded to by faith and which
leads to a life devoted to obeying God.
I Believe in following
Christ in Baptism. An outward sign of an inward commitment.
I
Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
I Believe in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the
resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
