A Question on the Rapture

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Here are a few questions from one of our readers.

Questions:

What’s your viewpoint on the Rapture? What happens after a person commits suicide?Do you think Jesus Christ will return in a physical body and if so approximately when – within the next decade or two – in a 100 years – or 1000 years or never again on earth?

Also I asked some fundamental questions 5 to 6 weeks ago and didn’t see your audio response. I’m still hoping you will answer these basic questions to your best ability – as I have wondered the answers to these questions for several decades.

Answer:

Hi,

I am sorry I did not make the audio I spoke of… as of yet.

You have lots of questions and I probably do not have the answers to all of them.  Many of them I do not spend time thinking about.

Here is the bottom line for me.

We Are The Creators Of Our Reality

I believe that we create the reality we experience in life through the things we believe in and think upon.  We are the ones who use our creative abilities… God given creative abilities to create our life.  God tells us to think His thoughts… to listen to Him and not what the world tells you.  If we listen and obey his High Thoughts… which are about his goodness and mercy and the plans to prosper us and heal us…. Then we will be blessed in every way possible.  If not, if we think on the curse then we will experience the curse.  He tells us that the choice is ours.

God’s Mercy Endures Forever

Questions like these often come out of a fear that you might get it wrong and have a big consequence for that mistake.  I know that the fundamentalist church teaches that we have to be afraid. That God will punish us for our mistakes. That Hell awaits those that don’t get it exactly right.

I don’t think in those terms.  I believe God when He says that His mercy will endure forever.  I believe that God is for me and not against me.  I believe that if I place my faith in the promise of salvation I can be assured that I will be saved.  I don’t spend time thinking about hell or damnation.  The Bible tells us to think on good things and that is what I do.

The Return of Christ

Most of the things we get so caught up in don’t really matter.  I do believe Jesus is coming back in the flesh.  But I also believe that Christ is born in us and we are manifesting Christ on the earth.  So I believe both ideas.

Suicide

I don’t worry about suicide.  I focus my attention on the mercy of God.  I believe that God’s love and mercy never end.  So if someone commits suicide I trust that God will make a way for them.  God wants to save everyone.  God wants to bless us all.  That is where I put my attention.  When I do so fear cannot grip me and cause me to despair.

The Rapture

I am not sure what the Rapture will actually look like.  But if Jesus calls believers to rise to heaven then I will be with them because I am a believer.  I can leave the details and worries about the Rapture to Jesus.  I don’t have to distress over it.  I don’t have to everything figured out and all the ducks in order.  I love the Lord.  He is my Lord, savior and redeemer.  He knows what is happening and believe me wherever I need to be he will get me there.

Roll Your Cares On Him

The Bible says to roll all your cares on Him.  I encourage you to do so.  Pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge so that you will get the answers to your questions.  But do so in faith… faith in His love and mercy.  Faith in the power of the Spirit to save you even if you don’t have every single concept correct.   Relax… trust… be thankful for the fulfillment of His promises.  And also be thankful that He really does not expect you to be perfect.  If you could be perfect on your own why would he have come to redeem us?

Let go of the fear.  Let the Blood of the Lamb wash you clean of the fears and fill you with His love.  The Bible says that perfect love will cast out fear.  So perfect your love for the Lord and all the fear of what will happen without Him will flow away.

Sorry I don’t answer every question just when you ask.  Some I really don’t have an answer to but I am not afraid.  I focus on what I do know instead then I am at peace in Him.  I have combined my faith with his promises and entered into his rest!

God bless you,

Marty Dow

For Those Who Experience Fear

Now this reader may not be asking these questions out of fear, but many folks do worry about these things.  If you are one of the folks that are concerned that you might have the wrong answer or that I might have the incorrect answer to a theological question and be on the verge of going to hell, then I encourage you to consider the above answer as a way to discover peace even in the midst of confusion.

What About The Bible?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

To begin to clarify some of the questions folks have sent to me concerning my beliefs about salvation, the Holy Spirit, heaven and hell… there is no better place to start than the Bible.  The concept of Bible Ascension is rooted in the teachings of the Bible.  But I have not always trusted the Bible to be a true source of spiritual wisdom.

My Early Bible History

As a young child I was taught that the Bible was the Word of God and therefore infallible.  My childhood denomination accepted every word of the scriptures in a literal fashion. We studied one version of the Bible, the King James. There was never any mention of other translations of the Bible, researching the original language for deeper meanings, or being led by the Spiritual of Wisdom and Revelation Knowledge for the hidden meaning.  Actually, I was never encouraged to question the literal interpretation of church doctrine in any form… this would have been to question God Himself!

Fortunately for me, my father was a deep spiritual thinker that did question the literal teachings of my childhood church… my mother’s church.  He did not interfere with what I was learning but I knew that there was “other” views of what the Bible meant.

After my mother’s death I left my childhood church in anger and rebellion.  As I share in my story, I rejected the church, the Bible, Jesus and God. Everything I had learned was now suspect and discarded.

College Days and Eastern Philosophy

As I began to search for new answers to my questions about spirituality, I was taught that the Bible was untrustworthy.  I was told that it might have been God’s word at one point but unscrupulous people had changed the Bible to control the masses. Things had been removed, mistranslations had occurred and the real message had been distorted.  Many of these teachers rejected the Bible but claimed that other ancient documents held a more accurate version of the truth.  Most of these early teachers were interested in Eastern religions and philosophies.

Metaphysical Explorations

As my search led me towards metaphysical studies, I was told again about the mistranslations and omissions of the Bible.  However, many of my spiritual teachers believed that Jesus was an important teacher and that the Bible did contain hidden meanings. These folks believed that some scriptures were trustworthy… especially those that reinforced one of their core beliefs.  Scriptures that did not support their particular philosophy were ignored or rejected.  Important ideas that were not included in the Bible were thought to have been there at one time but removed by the church leaders to have more control over the masses.

Where Did All The Bibles Go?

One thing I noticed in both of these “broad” groups is that no one actually studied the Bible.  Most of their ideas on the Bible were based on what they had been taught and not on actual experiences studying the Bible.

When I moved into Metaphysical Christian churches I was struck by the lack of Bibles present… even in a Bible study group.  We studied books about the Bible and what others had written about Jesus, but never the actual Bible.  Later, when I started teaching in Metaphysical Christian churches there was always someone who came up to me after my talk and said something like this, “I really would rather you did not talk about the Bible so much. People here are uncomfortable with all the Bible talk.”   I kid you not!  But I am getting a head of myself

Answering My Bible Questions

The Bible is a part of my core being.  As a child I memorized many scriptures and participated in sword drills, a competition for demonstrating one’s ability to quickly locate scriptures.  Now I did question it’s authority, it’s accuracy, and it’s validity especially after I left the church. I even stopped studying or reading it for many years.  But I never got those scriptures out of me nor did I lose my love for Jesus.

When God directed me to return to my childhood denomination, I was filled with questions about the Bible. I spent long hours with a young minister asking my questions and challenging his beliefs.  Fortunately, he was not threatened by my questions.  He was a very smart and confident man who was skilled in Bible study.  He patiently answered my questions and suggested that I study the Bible for myself.  He guided me on how to study the Bible and gave me numerous study guides to take home with me.   We met every week for several months.  I am so thankful for this young minster. He was quite a gift to me!

One day I walked into his office gripping a Bible in my hands.  I said to him, “If only 1% of this is true, I know why those Charismatic Christians are jumping up and down and shouting.”  I had discovered the Promises of God and they were powerful!  His guidance that day has become a core part of my spiritual path.  He said, “If you always use the Bible as your foundation, you will find the Truth you seek.”

My journey led me back and forth from Charismatic Christian churches to alternative spiritual groups and Metaphysical Christian churches.  I have recounted this story on the page about the Author.  You can read more detail there.

What I Have Learned

I was following the promptings of the Spirit on my search for truth.  Here are a few things I discovered about the Bible along the way:

1. There were unscrupulous people trying to keep the Bible away from the masses so that they could control them. However, they did not actually change or remove things from the Bible. Their method to keep the Bible away from the masses was to refuse to allow anyone but priest to see or study the Bible.  They could not have removed the hidden mysteries that we are studying because they did not understand those truths.

2. Many people lost their lives for printing and distributing the Bible in the language of every day people.  There was a great battle for the privilege of personal Bible study.  The church did not want to lose control of the Bible and have people thinking for themselves.  Fortunately for us they did lose control.

Today we have easy access to the Bible. We can choose from a variety of translations and easily go back to the original text and determine if we agree with that particular translation of the Bible.  We are not stuck with only a literal interpretation of one version of the Bible.  We can study the meanings of particular scriptures and entire topics for ourselves. In addition, there are tons of commentaries we can read and discover how others have interpreted those scriptures.  It is an amazing time to be studying the Bible!

3. There are some mistranslations in the Bible. However, it is much less than you might think. The Hebrew people were extremely cautious about protecting the Word of God and for them that is actually what their scriptures were… God speaking directly to them.  No transcriber would dare make an error and they devised ways to ensure accuracy.  An example is that each letter on a line of scripture was counted so that errors in translations could be easily caught.

4. The Lamsa translation of the Bible from ancient eastern manuscripts is often heralded by Metaphysical Christians as proof of Bible mistranslations.  However, I do not find any differences in the main message of the Bible on Jesus, redemption, and what we are calling Bible Ascension.  There are some evidences of errors but in my opinion these are insignificant to the over all Bible message.  You can study this topic further but searching for George Lamsa.

By the way the ancient manuscripts that George Lamsa translated were untouched by the Nicene Council so the beliefs concerning the omission of certain occult topics do not seem to be supported in Dr Lamsa’s work.  Google George Lamsa to learn more.  The supposed effect of the Nicene Council on the Bible was a very important concern for me in my journey to accept the Bible as a foundation for my spiritual truths.

5. Many fundamental Christians are satisfied with a literal interpretation of Bible scriptures. Part of the reason for this is that they are seeing the Bible only through their human perspective. The Bible is a spiritual book and must be understood with spiritual eyes.  If we try to understand it without the Spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge we will end up with a very limited and natural interpretation of a spiritual message.   Pray the prayer Paul prayed in the first chapter of Ephesians so that you can be led of the Spirit and understand the hidden mysteries of the Bible.

6.  Often Metaphysical Christians reject Bible teachings because of their fear of omissions and mistranslations.  However, they still believe the Bible is sacred.  I believe this has led to an undue focus on symbolism in the Bible.  This is based on the idea that if the Bible is sacred and we can not trust the literal meaning, then we must look for the spiritual meaning in the symbolism of names, places etc in the Bible.  The idea is that truth can only be found in these hidden places.  Although I agree that there is much symbolism in the Bible and I appreciate those who uncover interesting gems from their searches, it is my opinion that the Bible mysteries are hidden in plain sight.

7. Here is the bottom line for me… The Bible is not a scientific or historical treatise. The Bible is a revelation of God’s will and plan for humanity now and in the ages to come. The Old Testament contains a history of a particular line of humanity that were destined to protect God’s Word (His Will, Plan, Promises, Law, Prophecies) given through prophets and the genetic code for the incarnation of the Christ.  These people were kept separate from the other folks living on the earth so that the message and the genetic code would not be contaminated by outside influences  until Christ was incarnated on the earth to complete his earthly mission.

The New Testament is an unveiling of the new species of Divine Beings and God’s plan for the ages to come.   The truth is there but it is hidden from the natural mind and must be discerned by the spiritual mind.  This is a spiritual document about spiritual truths concerning a new species of spiritual beings.

8. I have decided… and it is a decision, to based my teachings concerning Bible Ascension on the Bible.  For me so many of the understandings I have uncovered are right there on the written page. Sometimes I wonder why I did not see them before and why so many other folks who are frequent readers of the Bible do not see them!  I know part of it is my own spiritual growth and part of it is due to the times in which we live.  Greater and greater revelation knowledge of the supernatural realms are being revealed to us now.

So as I answer these questions I am going to refer to what I see in the Bible and not standard teachings of either the traditional Christian church or the Metaphysical/Alternative spiritual paths.  I have studied both and learned have learned so much.  However, Jesus told me to step on the path of Bible Ascension and lock the door behind me.  This requires that I depend upon and teach ideas that are supported by the word God as given through the Bible.

9. I promise to be honest. I promise to tell you what has been revealed to me and to tell you what I have yet to understand. As I told you in the last post… I do not have all the answers but God does.  And He has promised to reveal it to us if we seek the truth.  I believe that promise with all me heart.

10. You are not going to agree with everything I believe. But let us agree to disagree in love. I honor your God given right to choose what you believe. There will never be true peace among diverse groups of people unless we decide to respect our differences of opinions.  This is important to me.  I am so tired of people getting in a huff over someone disagreeing with them.

Trust the Spirit to guide your studies! That is the best anyone can do as we seek to find the Truth!

I wrote this post this morning because I realized that I will not have time to complete the audio I promised in my last post. I will be traveling much of this week.

Keep your eyes open the answers are coming soon!

Be Blessed,

Marty Dow

Salvation Questions

Friday, February 19th, 2010

My most recent post on salvation has generated many questions. I can not answer them all at once but I will answer them all in time.

Hot Topics

For those of us that have been “religiously wounded” by our early church experiences, the questions on the meaning and method of salvation and the reality of heaven and hell generates a lot of emotional responses. These concepts often draw a line demarcation  between the traditional christian and the metaphysical and/or alternative seeker. It sets up a litmus test of sorts that determines if you are “with us or against us.”

These questions are so foundational to our belief systems that many people feel that their view is completely correct and every other perspective is completely wrong.  Unfortunately, the strength of these responses can often cause us to step out of love and into separation, conflict and judgment.

In addition, especially for the religiously wounded seeker, pondering these questions can cause a great deal of confusion and fear. I know because that is how I often felt when trying to sort out the truth from all the things I once believed.

I Don’t Have All The Answers

I know that is an unusual statement to hear from a spiritual/Bible teacher but it is true. I still have a lot of unanswered questions about things I see in the Bible.

Fortunately, I am not feeling quite as confused as I used to feel when I was directed by God to return to the church and learn more about the Bible.  Those were very difficult times for me. I had so many conflicting ideas swirling around in my head that I sometimes felt my mind was going to explode!

I have said in the past that if you are looking for someone who claims to have all the answers you have come to the wrong teacher. I do not have all the answers in a neat little package to share with you.  Besides it is not really about what I believe to be true. It is more about what you believe and the process you go through to discover the truth for yourself.

Very smart people disagree on the meaning of Bible “Truths”.  Even people who attend the same church often have conflicting beliefs with fellow church members and the pastor.  No one has the whole truth. We are not there yet… but I believe that we live in a time when the Holy Spirit is revealing greater and greater truths to those who are ready to receive them.

The Truth As I Understand It

On this blog, I am sharing the revelations I have received about Jesus, the new birth and the hidden mysteries of the Bible which I call Bible Ascension. It is the truth as I have come to understand it.

I hold these truths with an open hand awaiting the Lord to reveal even greater revelations to me. I have learned that if I hold on to previous ideas and beliefs too tightly, I will either miss a new and deeper understanding or God will have to blow the old one out of my hand in order for me to receive the new.  I can honestly report to you that the second alternative is no fun at all!

Take what I share with you on this site and use it to evaluate what you think you know and believe.

Study the Bible with an open mind looking for new and deeper revelations of what God’s plan is for you and for the ages to come.

Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge to reveal these hidden mysteries to you.

Trust that God wants you to know the truth and that the Holy Spirit is guiding you right now.

Know that God loves you and wants to bless you with every good and perfect thing.

Believe that the truth is available to you and that it is the Spirit within that reveals it to you.

Measure what you once believed, what you hear from me and/or other teachers, and what you read in the Bible by the still small voice of God speaking in your heart.

A Suggested Technique

Before I go I want to give you one technique that helped me when I felt so confused as I worked through some of the old beliefs I learned at as child.

During those times I would make a list of what I KNEW to be true. Then I would stand on those beliefs until I gained more clarity and my confusion past. The list became to me a place of mental safety and peace in the eye of the storm.

Here are a few of the foundational beliefs found on my lists:

God is love.

God’s mercies endure forever and ever.

God does not want me to be afraid.

It is God’s will for all to be saved.

Give this technique a try when you are working through conflicting beliefs and feel confused.

An Upcoming Audio Clip

I am planning to create an audio clip around the questions sent to me on heaven, hell, salvation, and the Spirit.  Hopefully, I will have it up by next week.

I enjoy your questions and comments. Keep them coming.

Be blessed,

Marty Dow

A Question On Salvation In Jesus

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Here is question from a reader on Salvation in and through Jesus along with my answer.

Question

I’m new to your site and a little confused. My main question is, do you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is only through His salvation that we are saved?

Answer

Thanks for your question.

Yes, I believe in Jesus and I also believe that we are saved through him.  However, I believe that salvation is much greater than what I learned as a child. It is so much more than escaping hell or getting a ticket to heaven… although these are great things.  Salvation is a birth into a new species.  We are no longer human beings struggling through the human condition.

In Christ we are born again… born of His flesh and bone.  We are now Divine beings filled with His life, which is eternal life (deathless life not chronological time), and His Spirit.  Natural human beings are born of the first Adam with all of Adam’s limitations.  The born again Christian (disciple of Jesus) is born of the second Adam.  The first Adam was a man.

The second Adam is God/Christ incarnated in flesh to pay the penalty of sin (separation from God and all the acts that come out of that state)(or for the metaphysical student… the karmic debt), destroy Lucifer (the fallen angel that caused the earth to be in chaos as recorded in Genesis 2) and his work (the curse which resulted from his rebellion, fall and the cosmic war he began), and to birth a new species of heavenly beings who live on the earth.  Remember, the Bible teaches that Christ is returning to earth to rule and He is bringing heaven (the new Jerusalem) with Him.

We are to express heaven on earth now in preparation for His return and the beginning of the Ages to Come.  We are to grow into this new state of being until we are filled with His Glory… “The whole earth groans for the birth of the Sons of God!”

There are two things you should know about my site:

  1. It is written for folks who come from a metaphysical or alternative spiritual path, not the traditional Christian.  I am using language and imagery that are quite familiar to these folks but may be confusing to a traditional Christian.  This could be compared to Paul in Athens talking to the Greeks about the Unknown God to whom they had created a statue.  So this language may be the cause of some of your confusion.  All people are welcome to visit my site but not all will feel connected to my language or even my message.
  2. Secondly, my message is different than what you will hear in many churches.  My emphasis is not on heaven and hell but on living in the fullness of Spirit in our physical forms right here and right now.  Many churches do not emphasis living and striving for the “perfect man” while on earth. Many feel that most of our transformation will happen in heaven or when Jesus returns.  I believe that we were meant to live supernatural lives now, in a physical form. I believe that if the life of Christ dwells in me than that deathless life will transform me now so that when the Lord returns I will look just like Him.  My potential for growing up into him is activated by my faith in the promise of letting the spirit flow completely through me.    By faith, I died (to the human condition born of the first Adam) with Christ so that Christ (the supernatural Second Adam) can live in me NOW!  He can express completely and fully through me NOW! We are in preparation for the Ages To Come! And things are about to change very soon.

So you may or may not feel comfortable with the language or the message.  You are welcome to study with us but I understand if this is not for you. I trust that the Spirit will guide each of us to wherever we can grow.  Follow your heart, trust in the Lord and you will find your perfect place.

I hope that even if we disagree on the emphasis of the Gospel, we can agree to disagree in love.  Love is the only commandment that Jesus left for us to follow.  Love perfects us in Him!

In His Glory,

Marty Dow

My Journey to Bible Ascension

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Yesterday I received a comment from a reader that I wanted to share on the site. The question and the answer might be of benefit to others. The reader wanted more specifics on my spiritual journey.  Here is the question and my answer….

Here is what the reader wrote:

You’re website is very interesting.  I’d be curious to hear some of the specifics of your travels in alternative spirit circles and the relation you found with Christ and the Bible.  Do you discuss these specifics anywhere?

My answer:

I am not sure exactly what you are asking me… It sounds like you want to know the relationship of specific alternative paths that I might have explored with Christ and the Bible.  I am not sure of the emphasis here.

Are you more curious about what specific paths I explored on my journeys or are you more interested in how particular paths relate to Christ and the Bible?

Let me give you a general answer and maybe something more specific when I hear back from you.

My Approach To Seeking God Was Eclectic

I have always been very eclectic in my approach to spiritual questions. Well not always… As I mentioned in my introduction and on the about the author pages, I grew up in a very traditional Southern Baptist Church. So I began my journey in a very closed environment.  I have always been an avid reader and I became introduced to other ideas about God through reading, often to the dismay of my parents.  My exploration broadened when I went to college and began to live on my own free to make my own decisions.

Alternative Paths I Have Studied

I have studied many ideas, through reading and conversations with other folks but I am not an expert in any particular area.  My most intense focus has been in New Thought Christianity, just as Unity, Science of Mind. Also I have studied and read teachings on the Ascended Masters such as the Teachings of the Masters of the Far East, The I AM materials, and the teachings of the Theosophical Society.  Most of these paths have some emphasis on Jesus and the understanding of a Cosmic Christ.  I would broadly categorize these teachings as metaphysical and some of them as metaphysical Christianity.  But I am not a scholar and I am sure a scholar in any of these areas when argue with me about such a broad category.

Where I Studied The Bible

On the other hand I am also NOT a Bible scholar.  I have never gone to a Bible College.  I have certainly studied the Bible and read many different ideas about what the Bible means.   I have studied Bible ideas with traditional Christians, Charismatic Christians, Faith Christians, Metaphysical Christians and what I call New Age Christians.  These are those who are actively involved in New Age beliefs but also love Jesus and see him as a very important teacher/guide but not a savior.

My Limited Experience With Eastern Religions

I imagine from your name that you might be interested in Eastern philosophies.  I have read Yoganada and practiced some Hatha Yoga.  It was while considering joining an ashram that Jesus came to me in a dream.  I describe this dream in detail on the Bible Ascension site.   But my understanding is very limited in these areas of religious studies.

I know some about Buddhism… very little about Hindu… almost nothing about Islam.

The Spirit Guided My Studies

As you can read on the Bible Ascension blog, my path was led by divine guidance. I would study with one group for months or years and then wake up one morning with instructions to move on to another group.  Sometimes over my loud and arduous objections but I followed this guidance as best I could out of love and commitment to God. I did not know the “Truth” but I trusted the inner voice that was directing my studies.  I often felt isolated and alone on my path because people would misunderstand my leaving their group as a rejection of them and/or their beliefs. Nevertheless, I followed what I understood to be the direction of God for me.

Well there is a general description of the multiple alternative paths I have explored.  In summary, I must say that I am NOT an expert in any one of them. I have learned many things on my journeys. Sometimes it felt as if I was studying with these groups or a particular author to glean one very specific piece of information.  At other times it felt that I was there to see correlation between those ideas and ideas taught in the Bible.

My Purpose Is Revealed

I often wondered if part of my purpose/mission was to teach about the differences and similarities between the different paths but that was not to be.  I am actually not knowledgeable in any one path to teach the intricacies of that path.  But as I have come to discover that was not God’s plan for me.

After many years of constant search and exploration, I awoke one morning to a new instruction.  I was to step on the path of Bible Ascension and lock the door behind me. I would never step off of this path. I would never need to study any other path again. The path of believing the Gospel of Glory as told in the Bible was my path to the Ascension.  That day I stepped onto this path, closed and locked the door behind, and I have never looked back. I know this is my path and sharing this message with others is my mission. I am so thankful because I know that I am home!

The Message I Was Commissioned To Share

So what is my message…

I am a disciple of Jesus the Incarnation of the Cosmic Christ. I am commissioned to share the story of the Gospel of Glory, which I call Bible Ascension, with those who are on alternative spiritual paths.  I have been told that there are many seekers on these alternative paths that belong to Jesus. They have been religiously wounded in the past but have never lost the deep connection to Christ. They are still looking for their answers and have not yet found them.  The Spirit told me that they would recognize the truth when they heard it. My job is to simply share the mysteries of this Gospel of Glory that are hidden in plain sight in the Bible with all who are attracted to my voice, my language, and to the message that I share.

It does not matter to me if it is one person or 10,000.  My job is to explain the hidden truths of Bible Ascension to all those that are willing to hear these truths in the language and style that was given to me. The Lord of Glory will call those who are meant to hear this message and direct them to my message/ministry when they are ready. The Lord of Glory will open their hears so that they can hear and understand.

I am certain that my message, my voice, my language is not for everyone.  The Spirit told me that only those who resonate to my vibration would be attracted to this ministry. He told me that he had other messengers to share the message with those who are of a different vibrations.  The message is the same.  “The same Lord… the same Spirit… the same Gospel.”  It is the style, language and focus that is unique to each group.

As disciples of Christ, we are never going to agree on everything. However, we must all learn to walk in love and respect obeying the Master’s command of love.

People come to Jesus from many different perspectives and levels of awareness.  My ministry and message is just one of those doorways.

I hope this was helpful to you.

In His Glory,

Marty Dow

Ambassador of His Glory
