~Welcome, students of the Bible!~
“You cannot have prosperity where sin is cherished, promoted, recommended, tolerated and practiced.” Proverbs 14:34; Psalms 33:12
“Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the
words of knowledge.” Proverbs 19:27
Hello! First of all let me thank you and welcome you to this website. My name is Thurman V Compton Jr. You can call me Bro. Thurman if you would like. If you are “saved” and have been “Born Again” then you need a place you can come to and study, and get material for your Bible studies that are simple, and “Truth.” I have been a Christian going on 44 years now, and I can, and will testify to you that “God is real” and “His Son Jesus Christ is real.” God’s word is what it says it is, “…it liveth…” 1 Peter 1:23 This site is in no way meant to draw you away from your church assembly or to discourage you from fellowshipping with the brethren that you may be. This site is for the Lord’s word to be available, and get to sincere and genuine Bible Believers that want a regular (daily) and stable feeding from Gods word, and are willing to discipline themselves as the Lord commands us to. 2 Timothy 2:15 Our study of God’s word should be sincere, disciplined and deliberate. We should approach God’s word with respect and reverence and anticipation. Not doubt and questioning. YOU NEED, SHOULD HAVE, AND ARE COMMANDED to be in God’s word daily. (Matthew 26:55; Luke 9:23; Acts 5:42; Acts 17:11) These studies are simple to learn from, and available in whatever way you like to learn. The only way I have not compiled these lessons is by video. Don’t want to scare anybody, you know? Joking! Unfortunately, things (in this Laodicean era,) are getting just like the Lord said they would. People (Christians) are not valiant for the truth. Are you valiant for the Truth? If you are, then you are welcome to use these lessons to learn God’s wonderful truths. If I can help you in any way in your walk Brother or Sister, just say so. (IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN OR THAT YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, PLEASE STOP, AND GO TO THE PAGE “LIFE and DEATH.”) There I have laid out for you the very words from God’s word that I heard when the Lord saved me 44 years ago. Since then, He has kept His word with me and the change the Lord made then, is still there. He will save you, and is willing, if you are. He will save you and give you a guaranteed home in Heaven if you will come to Him His way. Matthew 11:28-30 Thank you all for stopping by and taking the time you already have with this site. Feel free to look it over. Above, is the menu where you can journey through Barn House Ministries lessons and more. Just “click” and your in class. Note: While going here and there on this site, if at any time you wish to go back to the previous “page” you were on, press a back button. The Lord bless you. I love you with Christ’s love. Sincerely, Brother Thurman. John 21:22
Did you know that God wants all men to be saved? He does! But God has made the deciding factor of whether you get eternal life and get to be with Him, UP TO YOU! It’s called your “will.” The Lord has granted every man with a “free will.” This means that you have a will that is a “free agent.” You have, get to, and are granted the privilege of making up your own mind of whether you “will” accept salvation the way God has layed it out in the New Testament. You can choose to or not to believe on God’s Son Jesus Christ who died for all men’s sins. You decide if you want to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, or not. You decide if you go to Heaven, or go to Hell. You decide whether to be Gods son born into His family never to be estranged again or whether to be the enemy of God under His wrath and condemnation. The Lord left it entirely up to YOU. The Lord wants you to choose His Son. He will not force you to believe on Jesus nor pardon you if you do not. A critical decision indeed.
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. If it is a longing in your heart to be back walking with the Lord and not to be burdened with the sin that so easily besets us, then tell Him so! The Scriptures say that the Lord stands ready to forgive. Psalms 86:5 Read it. Tell the Lord that you want things fixed up between you and Him and mean it with all your heart. Then tell Him the truth of why it is not. 1 John 1:9 Read it. According to Gods wonderful word, if you will sincerely go to Him, He will not upbraid you or make fun of you for doing so. James 1:5 Read it. Your problem is not your “problems.” The problem is your relationship with your Lord (and you know it, we all do). Get things fixed up with your Lord, and every thing else will work out. Won’t you turn back to Him today. He is so beautiful and kind. He promises not to cast you out if you will come to Him. John 6:37 Read it. All it is is a choice. Haven’t you had enough? Jesus invites you to come to Him. Matthew 11:28 Try Him. See if He will do what His words say. Just between you and Him by faith tell Him the truth and what you want, and watch what happens. Be sincere and if you mean it, then mean it. He won’t let you down. He didn’t and never has let me down. I’m no more special to Him than you. He’ll take you back. Do you mean it? Then mean it! Hope you will. I love you with Christ’s love. Brother Thurman
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
There are not any excuses for a Christian not to spend time every day in God’s word. If you can see, hear, or write there is something here for you. There is enough material in this site already to keep a person continually studying for over a year at least, minimum. Whether it be here or where ever brother and sisters, “Get in that Book!” You want to honor God? Get in the Book! You want to study, then study; who cares what anybody else thinks about the matter! Do what is pleasing to the Lord! Brother Thurman
