Welcome, students of the Bible!
“Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.”
Luke 24:45
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 43 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 43 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. The Lord bless you. I love you with Christ’s love. Sincerely, Brother Thurman. John 21:22
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!” Respectfully! Brother Thurman
“Giving up on what you ought to be is both cowardly and shameful!” ~PSR~
“That man may last,
But never lives;
Who much receives,
But never gives.
Whom none can love,
Whom none can thank;
Creations Blot-Creations Blank”

The Lord is absolutely right in His opinion of man in all things, but particularly this one. This is a spiritual problem people. You say, “Oh Brother Thurman, it’s just a tree! EXACTLY! It is just a tree! You telling me that someone that would pay this amount of money for a stinking tree, isn’t worshipping it? Hogwash! Poppycock! Yes they are! The Lord says so! Read it! You have to bow down to it to get the gifts out don’t you? Folks, I didn’t pay that much for my first truck. Brother Thurman
“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?” Isaiah 44:18-19
“A strong Christian becomes strong by exercising discernment: being able to tell what is good, what is evil, and what doesn’t matter.” ~PSR~
Hebrews 5:14
“The time you waste trying to take care of number one is just down the drain, and will come to absolutely nothing!” ~PSR~
Well, if it’s that obvious to a child…
A man had a habit of grumbling at the food his wife placed before him at family meals. Then he would ask the blessing. One day after his usual combination complaint-prayer, his little girl asked, “Daddy, does God hear us when we pray?” “Why, of course,” he replied. “He hears us every time we pray.” She pauses on this a moment, and asked, “Does he hear everything we say the rest of the time?” “Yes, dear, every word,” he replied, encouraged that he had inspired his daughter to be curious about spiritual matters. However, his pride was quickly turned to humility… “Then which does God believe?” ~Anon~
