Friends, this is a little outside the norm for me. Our family has found ourselves in the middle of a legal dispute with our HOA that has unexpectedly gained national attention. We’ve tried to approach every step with grace, respect, and a desire to resolve it peacefully.

It’s Sunday, so I’m placing the donation link here again for anyone who feels led to support VerseQuest.

To be completely honest, I never enjoy making these posts. I don’t want to pressure anyone, and I certainly don’t believe in guilt, manipulation, or the “seed faith” tactics that have become so common. I believe what Scripture teaches: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give.” If the Lord doesn’t put it on your heart, please don’t feel obligated. I mean that sincerely.

What many people don’t see is what happens behind the scenes. Today, VerseQuest has 498 in-depth series available completely free, covering nearly every book of the Bible, major doctrines, apologetics, religions, cults, prophecy, church history, and much more. Every one of those series required hours of study, writing, editing, formatting, and uploading. They are now being indexed by search engines and reaching people around the world who may never have access to solid Bible teaching any other way. Every week I receive messages from people who tell me these studies have helped them understand Scripture, leave false doctrine, strengthen their walk with Christ, or learn things they could never afford to learn elsewhere. Those messages remind me why this ministry exists.

VerseQuest is growing into something much larger than I originally imagined. We’re expanding the chart library, building Bible Institute courses, developing certification programs, improving the website, and adding premium resources while continuing to release free material every day. None of that happens without a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes. There are website expenses, hosting, security, research resources, software, development, and specialized tools that make all of this possible. Those costs are real, but I believe the mission is worth it.

I’ve also had to make sacrifices. There are many hours I could spend growing my business or pursuing other opportunities, but I believe God has called me to invest my time here instead. My family has been incredibly supportive, and I’m grateful for them. There are days when I become discouraged and wonder if I’m making a difference. Then someone sends a message, shares a testimony, or a small donation comes in, and it reminds me that the work is helping people. It isn’t the amount that encourages me most, it’s knowing that someone believes in the mission enough to stand behind it.

So if God puts it on your heart to help support VerseQuest today, thank you. Whether it’s through a donation, purchasing one of our premium resources, sharing a chart, recommending the website, or simply praying for the ministry, you are helping make this work possible.

If you’re not able to give, please don’t feel guilty. Keep studying the Word, keep growing in Christ, and keep praying for this ministry. By God’s grace, we’re going to keep building this Bible library for as long as He gives us strength.

Thank you for believing in what God is doing through VerseQuest.

All glory to Jesus Christ.

Many of you have asked how you can help. If you’d like to support the legal expenses, we’ve created a GoFundMe. If not, your prayers for wisdom, peace, and a just resolution mean just as much.

We believe this is ultimately about following California law while treating everyone involved with dignity. We’ve consistently condemned threats and harassment and remain hopeful this can be resolved peacefully.

@tracegallagher @foxnewsnight Thank you for the incredible support. Many have asked how they can help. If you’d like to support our legal fight, we’re grateful. If not, your prayers and sharing our story are more than enough. 🇺🇸

@johnrackham82 We live in California and we’re currently in a battle with our HOA to keep our American Flag (of 20 years) flying in front of our townhome. They’re threatening $100 fines - and all this ahead of Independence Day and the 250th! It’s the small battles that protect our liberties.

@sola_chad We just started a new series on Exodus.

@DavidFischer @grok Sorry, my friend. I certainly had no intention of being a jerk nor did I mean any disrespect at all. May the Peace of Jesus be with you always.

Your faith in Jesus will
separate you from the sin of the world.

Or the sin of the world will
separate you from your faith in Jesus.

Jesus said,
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

VerseQuest™ and the Mission to Arm Bible Believers in a World Full of Counterfeits

For a long time, the real Bible-believing Christian has been treated like some strange creature that crawled out of the backwoods with a King James Bible under his arm and a wild look in his eye. The world knew what to do with liberals. It knew what to do with religious celebrities. It knew what to do with pop-Christianity, ritual-Christianity, scholarship-Christianity, social-justice Christianity, and dead church-building Christianity. But a man who believed the Book, preached the Book, compared Scripture with Scripture, took God at His word, refused to bow to Rome, refused to let Joseph Smith rewrite history, refused to let the Watchtower butcher John 1:1, refused to let modern scholars correct God, and refused to let a demon-possessed world explain away the supernatural — that man had to be put in a little box. They slapped a label on him: “Bible believer.” And they meant it like an insult. But the joke is on them. That little box has a sword in it. That little box has the words of the living God in it. That little box has more truth, more light, more authority, and more spiritual ammunition than all the seminaries, councils, catechisms, creeds, traditions, philosophies, and think tanks on this earth combined.

And now the words they mocked are not staying in the corner anymore. “Dispensation” is not some dusty term hiding in a Scofield note that nobody ever hears about. “Right division” is not some oddball phrase whispered among a few King James men in a church basement. The subject is being dragged into public view. People who never cared about Bible doctrine are suddenly hearing terms like dispensationalism, Israel, prophecy, the Church, the kingdom, the end times, Zionism, the rapture, and the Bible-believing position. The world may not understand it. The devil certainly hates it. But when the vocabulary of Bible truth starts breaking into the public conversation, that means something is moving. It means the old Book is still alive. It means the words of God are still troubling the nations. It means the enemies of truth have to answer something they spent years pretending was dead, fringe, irrelevant, or laughable.

That is where VerseQuest™ stands. Not in a corner. Not hiding. Not apologizing. Not begging the world for permission to believe the Bible. The mission is not to build a personality cult. The mission is not to parade a face, sell an image, or create a little online kingdom around a man. The mission is to equip the saints, strengthen Bible believers, arm the brethren with Scripture, teach discernment, expose counterfeits, and help Christians see the word of God for themselves. It is not enough to say, “This is what right division teaches.” A man has to see it. A woman has to see it. A young believer has to open the Book and say, “There it is. I see it. God said it. I believe it.” Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith is not built on charisma. Faith is not built on hype. Faith is not built on a scholar’s footnote. Faith is built by the words of God getting down inside a man until he can stand when the wind starts blowing.

Chapter One – The Bible Believer Is No Longer Apologizing for Believing the Bible

The Bible believer has been treated like the red-headed stepchild of modern Christianity for long enough. Everybody else gets a platform. The ritualist gets his candles and robes. The liberal gets his soft voice and academic vocabulary. The philosopher gets his long words. The modern preacher gets his stage lights, fog machine, and TED Talk sermon. The pope gets a throne. The cult leader gets a following. The scholar gets a publishing contract. But the man who says, “I believe the King James Bible is the preserved word of God, and I believe God meant what He said,” is treated like he needs to sit down, calm down, and let the adults talk. Well, no.
