A Morning Wake Up Call....🙌

Called to Be Holy, Not Religious

Introduction: The Label Trap

Blessings, everyone. Today, I want to talk to you about a trap that millions of well-meaning people have fallen into. It’s the trap of religion.
We live in a world that loves labels. If you tell someone you follow God, the first thing they ask you is, "What denomination are you?”

Are you Baptist?

Methodist?

Pentecostal?

Lutheran?

Non-denominational?

We have built all these walls, all these different doctrines, and all these rules.

But I want to tell you something that might shock you, but it is the absolute truth of God’s Word: God never called us to be Christians. He never called us to be religious. But He did call us to be Holy.

Think about that. You can look from Genesis to Revelation, and you won't find God setting up a denomination. Man built the denominations. Man put the doctrines into play. But none of those man-made rules have anything to do with what God actually wants from you.

Point 1: The One Thing God Asked For
God didn't give us a list of religious traditions to follow. He gave us a standard for our hearts. Let's look at the Word.

In the Old Testament, in Leviticus 11:44, God says:

"For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy."

Thousands of years later, in the New Testament, the Apostle Peter says the exact same thing. In 1 Peter 1:15-16, it says:

"...but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.'"

Notice that the message never changed. From Moses to Peter, God’s requirement wasn't a religious label. It was holiness.

So, what does holiness actually mean? Let’s keep it plain and simple. In the Bible, the word "holy" just means set apart. It means separated for God’s special use. It means you don't live, talk, or act like the rest of the messy world because you belong to Him. It’s not about being rigid, stiff, or better than everyone else. It’s about being clean and ready for God to use you.

Point 2: Relationship vs. Religion
True holiness is about faith and a personal relationship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

What is faith? The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is believing in something you cannot see, but knowing with everything inside you that it is there. Religion tries to give you things you can see, tall buildings, fancy robes, and long rulebooks. But God wants your heart.

Look at the thief on the cross next to Jesus in Luke 23:42-43. That man didn't have time to join a church. He didn't have time to get baptized. He didn't know anything about denominational doctrines. But he looked at Jesus and had faith. He said, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." And what did Jesus say? "Today you will be with Me in Paradise."

That thief was saved by a direct, personal relationship with Jesus Christ in his final moments. Now, don't get me wrong, if you can get baptized, you should! It is a beautiful public statement of your faith. But the thief on the cross proves that God looks at the faith in your heart, not a religious checklist.

Everything else the world is trying to hand you today under the name of "religion" is not what God asked for.

Point 3: Church Attendance vs. The Family Gathering
Let’s take it a step further and bust another religious myth. God never wrote a commandment that says, "You must sit in a specific church building every single Sunday morning at a specific time or you are in trouble." That standard is man-made.
But here is what God did say: He said we need to gather.

In Hebrews 10:25, the Bible tells us:
"not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another..."

There is a massive difference between "going to church" and "gathering as a family." Going to church can just be a habit. You go, you sit in a pew, you look at the back of someone's head for an hour, and you leave. That’s religion.

But gathering? Gathering is a family connection. It’s about the family of God coming together to love one another, to check on each other, to pray for one another, and to build each other up. It’s about breaking down the walls of silence and bitterness, and sitting at the table together because we are washed by the Blood of Christ. You can do that in a cathedral, you can do that in a living room, or you can do that online. The building doesn't matter, the family connection matters.

Conclusion:
Let's Get Back to Basics
As I close today, I want to challenge you to drop the heavy weight of religion. Stop worrying about whether you fit into man's theological boxes or denominational rules.

Ask yourself the real question: Am I walking in a personal relationship with Jesus?

Am I living a life that is set apart for Him?

God didn't call you to be religious. He called you to be Holy. Let's get back to what matters.

God bless you.

1 Peter 1:15-16 – The New Testament command to carry holiness into everything we do.

Luke 23:42-43 – The thief on the cross saved by relationship, not religion.

[Part 2]

"When Am I Ready? The Biblical Truth About Baptism"

Good morning, brothers and sisters, and welcome to everyone tuning in on Facebook, YouTube, and the podcast today!

I am so glad you joined me as we dive back into the unchanging truth of God's Word.

I want to start today by asking you a question that has puzzled believers, families, and churches for generations:

How old do you really have to be to get baptized?

Maybe you grew up in a traditional church where they told you that you had to wait until you were at least 11, 12, or 13 years old. Or maybe you grew up in a church where they baptized you as a tiny infant, before you could even speak.

Today, we are clearing up the confusion once and for all. We aren't looking at human traditions, denominational manuals, or church bylaws. We are looking directly at the holy Scriptures and history, examining the Word of God across the 66, 73, and 81 biblical canons to see exactly what God requires before a person steps into the water.

Let’s get right to the point, God Looks at the Heart, Not a Birth Certificate. Here is the foundational truth you need to anchor your spirit in today:

The Bible nowhere mentions a specific, numerical age for baptism.

You can search from Genesis to Revelation, through every book of history and prophecy, and you will never find a verse that says, "Thou shalt be twelve years old to enter the pool."

God does not operate on a birth certificate; He operates on the condition of the heart.

The Scriptures teach us that water baptism is a sacred New Covenant ordinance established by Jesus Christ. And across every single biblical text, baptism always requires one major thing:

The knowledge of God, the conviction of sin, and a conscious choice to follow Jesus Christ. You don't get baptized until you have that knowledge.

Because baptism into Christ is a New Testament command, the exact instructions are beautifully preserved in our Gospels and Epistles.

Let's look at the strict order God laid out for us:
Discipleship Comes First: In Matthew 28:19, Jesus gave the Great Commission.

He said:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Notice the divine order: First, you make a disciple, which means teaching them so they get the knowledge of God, and then you baptize them.

Belief Comes First. In Mark 16:16, Jesus declares:
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."

Believing must happen before the water. A child without understanding cannot consciously believe in the finished work of the cross.

Repentance Comes First because on the day of Pentecost, when the people asked what they should do, Peter didn't give them an age limit.

In Acts 2:38, he said:
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins."

To be baptized, a person must first understand what sin is, feel a godly sorrow for it, and make a conscious decision to turn away from it.

Look at the book of Acts, chapter 8. Philip is preaching Christ to an Ethiopian official. As they travel along the road, they come across some water.

In Acts 8:36-37, the eu**ch asks a direct question:
"See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?"

Listen to Philip’s answer, he didn't ask for the man's age. He didn't ask for a certificate of maturity.

He said:
"If you believe with all your heart, you may."

And the eu**ch replied:
"I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

That confession of faith is the ultimate prerequisite for the water. Furthermore, 1 Peter 3:21 tells us that baptism is "the answer of a good conscience toward God."

A person must have a functioning, mature conscience to make that answer to God.

Was There Infant Baptism in the Days of Jesus?

Now, right about here, someone might ask:

"But preacher, what about infant baptism? Didn't they baptize babies early on, even in the days of Jesus and the Apostles?"

If we look at the historical and biblical record, the direct answer is no. There is absolutely no record of infant baptism during the days of Jesus and the Apostles.

Some folks point to scriptures where an entire "household" was baptized, like the Philippian jailer in Acts 16:33 or the household of Stephanas in 1 Corinthians 1:16. But if you read the very previous verse in Acts 16:32, it explicitly says that the preachers "spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house."

The text shows us that everyone in that house was old enough to hear, understand, and rejoice in the Word.

In the first century, baptism was strictly for people who had received the knowledge of God and made a radical choice to follow Him.

So, why did it start?

History shows us that infant baptism began to develop in the second through the fifth centuries, long after the Apostles had passed away.

It happened for two main reasons:
First, the shift from "converts" to "heritage." In the days of Jesus, everyone entering the church was a new adult convert. But a generation later, Christian parents started having babies.

They naturally wanted their children included in the covenant community from birth, comparing it to the Old Testament practice of circumcising baby boys on the eighth day.

Second, the fear of infant mortality. In the ancient world, many babies tragically died very young from sickness. Over time, early theologians began to heavily emphasize the doctrine of "Original Sin", the idea that babies are born carrying the guilt of Adam.

Out of deep fear that their unbaptized babies wouldn't enter heaven, parents began pressuring the church to wash away that sin immediately.

So you see, infant baptism didn't start because of a command from Jesus.

It started later in history out of human fear and pastoral concern for dying infants. We can respect the love those ancient parents had for their children, but our standard must remain the New Testament pattern:

Faith and knowledge must precede the water.

Now, if infant baptism came later, and the Bible doesn't give a specific number, why do so many holiness, baptist, and independent ministries focus on the ages of 11, 12, or 13?

It comes from the biblical pattern of childhood accountability. In ancient biblical culture, a child transitioned into moral accountability, becoming responsible for understanding the law and answering for their own sins, around twelve or thirteen years old.

In fact, the only glimpse the Bible gives us of Jesus’ own childhood is in Luke 2:42, when He was twelve years old. He went into the Temple, sat among the teachers, listened to them, and asked questions.

He proved that at twelve years old, He had the mature "knowledge of God" and understood His Father’s business.

Around the ages of 11 to 13, a child’s mind naturally opens up to understand abstract spiritual truths.

They begin to truly grasp the weight of sin, the necessity of grace, and what it means to make a lifetime commitment to Christ.

It is a wonderful, practical milestone, but it is driven by readiness of mind and spirit, not just a number on a clock.

Before I close, let me address those who read the broader canons, like the 73-book Catholic Bible or the 81-book Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.

The historical and prophetic books added to those larger collections, like Tobit, Sirach, Maccabees, Enoch, or Jubilees, were written before Jesus Christ came to earth.

They contain beautiful, deep principles on righteousness, prayer, and historical faith, but they do not contain instructions on Christian water baptism, nor do they establish an age requirement.

The standard remains entirely unified across all records: faith and knowledge come first.

My Closing Call to Action is this, baptism is not a hollow ritual to save us from our parents' sins, nor is it a dry tradition we run through just because we reached a certain birthday.

Baptism is an outward declaration of an inward transformation! It is a public announcement that says,

"I have heard the Word,

I have received the knowledge of God,

I have repented of my sins, and I am choosing to be buried with Christ and raised to walk in the newness of life!"

If you are listening today, make sure your faith is secure.

Don't rely on the water alone; rely on the Christ who makes the water meaningful.

Ensure you have that true, deep knowledge of God before you make that ultimate vow.

Thank you for tuning in today.

The Price of "Right Now" vs. The Power of Your Future

A Message from Elder Brown | True Holiness of God Outreach Ministries

Introduction: A Voice from the Road Ahead

To every young person listening to my voice right now, whether you are 8, 18, 28, or beyond , I want you to look at me. I am 67 years old. I’ve lived a lot of life. I’ve worn a military uniform, I’ve driven tractor-trailers across this country, I work part-time right now, and just this month, I stood tall and finished my degrees.

But I didn't get here by being perfect.
I’m standing before you today as a man who has been broken and put back together by the grace of Almighty God.

When I was younger, I chased the 'right now.' I drank too much. I made choices I am not proud of. I lived a life that eventually led me to an operating table, having open-heart surgery. I know what it’s like to live only for the moment and completely ignore the future.

But I am here to tell you that even in my darkest moments, God never left me. He mended my physical heart, and He transformed my spiritual heart.

I haven’t always been right. I had to learn the hard way that you have to put some things away, clean up your life, and get right with God.

And that is exactly why I am fighting for you today. This is why I come onto Facebook, why I get on YouTube, and why I record these podcasts.

This is why I travel to different states to preach and teach. I am doing all of this because True Holiness of God Outreach Ministries exists to show you one thing:

You can make a choice in your life right now to do what is right. I look at your generation, and I see so much power and potential, but I also see a trap. And I care about you too much to stay silent. You are the future of this world, and you need to know that you can do this.

Section 1:
Step Away from the Screen, Step into Your Destiny
Right now, the world wants to keep you distracted. It wants you glued to video games, scrolling through screens, living in a virtual world where nothing you do actually changes reality.

The enemy wants you asleep, wasting your time on things that won’t matter tomorrow.

But you weren't created to just consume entertainment; you were created to make an impact. The world needs your mind, your energy, and your unique gifts. You have the power to change this country and make this world better, but you can’t do it if your hands are always on a controller and your eyes are always on a screen. It’s time to wake up, step outside, and step into the destiny God has for you. You have to be willing to put sacrifice away for 'right now' so you can build something that lasts.

Section 2:
You Are Deeply Loved
But let me stop right here, because I know some of you are listening to me and your heart is heavy. You might be sitting there thinking, 'Nobody loves me. Nobody understands what I'm going through.

Maybe things are rough at home. Maybe you feel like your parents just don't understand you, or maybe you aren't getting the love and support from them that you feel you need. If that is you, I want you to hear me loud and clear:

You are not alone, and you are completely loved.
God loves you. Jesus loves you so much that He did something that might sound extreme to the world, but it is the ultimate truth—He died on the cross for us. And that love didn't stop two thousand years ago; it is still alive and going on right now, today, for you.

If you are carrying that weight, don't suffer in silence. If you feel like you can't talk to your parents right now, reach out. Find a trusted leader, a mentor, an Elder, or someone who can stand in the gap with you. You don't have to walk this road by yourself.

Section 3:
The Blueprint for Your Future
Listen to me close: I’m not just talking to you from a pulpit, and I'm not out of touch. I’m talking to you as a businessman, a board member who sits on the directors' table for transitional housing helping people rebuild their lives when they’ve lost everything.

I’m talking to you as someone who holds degrees in Ministry, Divinity, and Theology, and yes, I even have a degree in Accounting. I understand numbers and structures just as much as I understand the Word of God.

I did the work to get these degrees because I wanted to show you that education, practical skills, and faith go hand-in-hand. You don't have to be boxed into just one thing.

If you want to make this country better, you have to build a blueprint:
Get your mind sharp: Pick up a book, learn a trade, understand how money works, and get your education.

Obey your parents and honor your elders: Even when it feels like they don't understand, try to honor them.

They are trying to protect you from the potholes they already stepped in.
Look out for the person next to you:

Through my work in transitional housing, I see people every day trying to pick up the pieces. Don't wait until you fall to learn what matters. Lift each other up right now.

Learn to sacrifice short-term pleasure for long-term peace: I chased the pleasure when I was young, and it almost cost me my life. Today, because I finally surrendered to God, I have real, deep, unshakeable peace. You don't have to wait until you are 67 to find it. You can choose it today.

Conclusion: Come to Christ

The seats at the table of the future are waiting for you, but you have to prepare yourself to sit in them. If a 67-year-old man can keep learning, keep building, keep serving on boards, traveling from state to state, and pushing forward, there is absolutely no excuse for you to sit on that couch.

You might think you’ve messed up too much. You might think you're too far gone. But if God can take a man who blew it, give him a new heart, restore his life, and graduate him with honors, imagine what He can do with your youth right now!

Turn away from the distractions. Break down the walls of silence, let the bitterness go, and let the blood of Christ make your heart right. Come to Christ today. Don't wait until tomorrow. Your future is waiting, this country needs you, and I know deep in my soul that you can do it.

God bless you.

The Unbroken Canon:
Exposing the Politics of the West and Reclaiming the Spiritual Depth of the East

Introduction: The Boundaries of the Book

Glory to God, who has never left His people without the fullness of His witness.

When we open the scriptures and read Paul’s charge in 2 Timothy 3:16 it declares:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

But a critical question must be asked: When those words were breathed onto parchment, was the Apostle Paul talking about a 66-book boundary line?

Was he talking about an institutional product authorized by a European monarch in 1611?

Absolutely not. There was no 66-book Protestant Bible when the early Church turned the world upside down. That boundary is a modern, Western invention.

When the Bible speaks of "all scripture," we must look to the oldest, unbroken Christian empire on the face of the earth, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church, which has faithfully preserved 81 books in their canon for over 1,500 years.

Tonight, we are going to pull back the curtain on how political power in the West manipulated the printing presses to control the Word, and why the spiritual, uncolonized East still holds the keys to the fullness of the scriptures.

Part 1: The Job King James Did (The Politics of 1611)

Let’s talk about the truth of what happened in England. King James I did not commission a translation out of pure spiritual devotion; he did it because his throne was in jeopardy.

The people were reading the Geneva Bible, printed by the reformers. The Geneva Bible had study notes in the margins that taught a dangerous truth: when a king rules wickedly, the people have a spiritual duty to disobey him. King James, who declared that kings were "breathing gods on earth," could not allow the people to have a Bible that challenged his power.

So, in 1604, he set up a committee of 47 scholars and bound them to strict institutional rules:

Rule No. 1: No marginal notes or study commentary allowed. The people were to read the text without any political context that favored freedom over tyranny.

Rule No. 3: Old ecclesiastical words had to be maintained. They used "Church" instead of "congregation" and "Bishop" instead of "elder" to protect the top-down hierarchy of the King's government.

The original 1611 printing was designed to centralize state control. It was an instrument of empire.

The Scandal at the Printing Press
History mentioned that "stuff happened to him" at the printing press, and history bears out the absolute chaos and corruption surrounding the production of these Western Bibles.

The King’s official printer was a man named Robert Barker. Barker went completely bankrupt trying to fund the printing of the 1611 KJV, leading to decades of lawsuits, bitter family fights, and greed-driven corners being cut. Court records show he was tangled up in bitter legal battles with a rival printer named Bonham Norton, was stripped of his printing license, and spent his final years locked away, eventually dying in a London debtors' prison in 1643.

Because the printing press in the West was treated as a monopoly for financial and political power, it led to massive, scandalous errors that proved these publishers were not guarding the Spirit; they were guarding their pockets.

In the famous "Wicked Bible" printing of 1631, the printers were so reckless they omitted the word "not" from the Seventh Commandment, leaving it to read: "Thou shalt commit adultery." They also misspelled "greatness" as "great-asse" in Deuteronomy 5:24. King Charles I was so furious he fined them £300 and ordered the Bibles burned. Only about 14 copies survived.

In the "Vinegar Bible" of 1717, printed by John Baskett, the heading of # Luke 20 # misprinted "The parable of the Vineyard" as "The parable of the Vinegar."

While the West was treating the Word of God like a commercial printing commodity, riddled with errors and driven by royal patents, the scribes of the East were fasting, praying, and hand-copying every letter of the Tewahedo scriptures on vellum with absolute, unbroken reverence.

Part 2: The Western Sword vs. The Eastern Shield

Once the Western Bible was standardized and stripped down, it was weaponized across the globe. By 1807, British imperialists literally cut the Bible down to less than 250 chapters to create the "Slave Bible," removing Exodus and every prophetic cry for justice to keep human beings in chains.

They used the 66-book boundaries to say, "This is all you get, and it says you must obey your earthly masters." You can look up the physical artifact of this 1807 printing at the Smithsonian or the Fisk University library today.

But God had a shield in the East.
Because the Ethiopian Empire defeated European invaders and was never colonized, their spiritual heritage remained pure.

The West legalized, institutionalized, and militarized their translations for global power. The East kept the text purely spiritual, mystical, and close to the presence of the Almighty.

Part 3: The Receipts are in the 66 Books

The ultimate proof that the 66-book Western Bible is incomplete without the Eastern perspective is this: The 66 books themselves pull their receipts directly from the books they left out!

The modern Western Bible tries to hide books like 1 Enoch, but the writers of the New Testament openly read them, quoted them, and expected the church to know them.
Look at the evidence left in the text:

Jude 1:14-15 explicitly quotes Enoch by name:
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all..."

This is a direct, word-for-word citation of 1 Enoch 1:9. The Western printers left the quote in the New Testament but hid the book it came from.

Hebrews 11:35 speaks of saints who "were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection."

You cannot find that story anywhere in the 39 books of the Protestant Old Testament. That is a direct historical reference to the faithful martyrs in the Books of Meqabyan (the Ethiopian Maccabees).

The Western Bible is filled with footprints that lead straight back to the Ethiopian Tewahedo canon.

Conclusion:
One Truth, One Family, One God

Preachers of the Gospel, we must understand that our foundation is not built on the royal decrees of European kings or the commercial output of 17th-century printing presses. Our faith is rooted in the eternal, living Word of God.

When we look to the East, to the ancient Ethiopian heritage, we aren't looking at something foreign, we are looking at the roots of our own family tree.

They preserved the fullness so that in these last days, the body of Christ could wake up, look past the political boundaries of the West, and feast on the whole counsel of God.

But let me make my heart clear on this matter: The purpose of bringing this truth to light is not to separate us.

I am not standing here to say the East is one way and the West is another just to cause a division.

I am not here to preach East against West, and I am certainly not here to preach black against white.

The enemy loves walls.

The enemy loves silence, bitterness, and division. But the Word of God is about tearing down those walls of silence and washing away that bitterness by the Blood of the Lamb.

My mission, what I need to bring to the people, is simply the unvarnished truth. This isn't a human agenda; this is God’s truth that He wants every single soul on this earth to know about.

We are talking about the whole family of God coming together.

Every nation, every tribe, and every tongue. When we see the full picture of how God preserved His Word globally, it doesn't divide us, it brings us to one table, where every seat is filled with a heart that has been made right with God and right with one another.

Let us stand on 2 Timothy 2:15:
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

Rightly dividing means knowing the history, exposing the politics, rejecting the division, and embracing the true, unfiltered, and complete spiritual power of God's Word for all His children.

Amen.
