God created Man as a free moral agent. He gives each of us the majesty of personal choice to choose between good and evil, between obeying the guiding voice of God or obeying the voice of the Enemy, the Devil.
We have got to stay close to the Lord and follow Him and make sure we're in His Will. We can't even do things that look like they're good and reasonable and common sense unless we're sure it's God's Will! If we're leaning to our own understanding and forgetting to acknowledge the Lord or listen to the voice of His Spirit to lead and guide us every moment, then we're apt to fall into one of the Devil's traps, and it's dangerous! We can't guard ourselves from everything, but we can just stay so close to the Lord that He will see to it that there's not a moment that's unguarded!
Resting on the arm of the flesh and natural reasoning is a dangerous thing! (Jer.17:5) Without Jesus we're nothing! Jesus said, "Without Me ye can do nothing!" (Jn.15:5)--Nothing good! So Lord, help us to be so in the Spirit that we are sensitive to Thy voice and we hear it and we know Thy Will and we hear Thy Word so that we can follow and obey You.
"For thou shalt hear a voice behind thee saying, 'This is the way, walk ye in it.'" (Isa.30:21) Help us, Lord, to mind Thy voice, even though it may seem unreasonable and we may wonder why we should not do as usual. If we have any check at all, Lord, help us to mind it, knowing that You know why!
Deep Truths is a collection of the basic teachings of David Brandt Berg who was my pastor for 20 years and who led me on a path of service for Jesus Christ and showed me how to love God and others. I have been a missionary for Christ in Japan from 1974 to the present with the exception of 4 years in other countries, specifically Russia, China, Estonia and Poland. My hope is this website will inspire and feed God's sheep.
You probably won't hear some of these teachings in any public school or church! It is my earnest desire that by reading these articles you will have a major paradigm shift in your life to perceive reality the way your Creator wants you to perceive it! For more information, please see the About Page
Are you new to Deep Truths?
The following is a suggested reading list to introduce you to the teachings of David Brandt Berg. I guarantee that you'll either love or hate what he has to say!
Deep Truths is dedicated to the Bible based teachings of David Brandt Berg (1919-1994), with the hope that from them you may find eternal spiritual life in Jesus Christ, the Son of God!
Deep Truths was first created on Jan. 5, 2004 in Niigata Japan. It is not an official web site of The Family International. By not "official", I mean it is not directly sponsored by the Family International World Services. Most of the articles on Deep Truths are publications from the Family International, but some of the opinions stated in the introduction to the articles are those of the webmaster, James Arendt. From January 2017 I have begun to post some different views and interpretations of Scripture that are not based on David Berg or the Family International's teachings.
The present site layout HTML/CSS code is from Beginner’s Guide To: Building HTML5/CSS3 Webpages and was created in February 2017 to make it mobile device friendly.
