Becker Bible Studies is non-denominational. We are not accountable or under the direction of any organized religion.
We are accountable to the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Our teachings and writings can be examined, measured and judged by the Bible. Our unaccountability to organized religion places a greater accountability for our works to be judged by the LORD GOD. This places all teachers and authors of Becker Bible Studies in a somewhat unique but dangerous position.
If a terrible mistake is made in our work, and people are led away from the LORD GOD as a result, we will face the anger and His chosen punishment from our LORD GOD. We are all acutely aware of this, and no teacher or author has ever joined the works of Becker Bible Studies without contemplating the responsibility and accountability that this position brings.
So often naive Christians place writings on the Internet and declare themselves to be non-denominational. They wrongly believe this gives them license to espouse their personal beliefs against the tried and true theologies of hundreds of years of organized religion.
On the other hand, every church we have ever known has some bad doctrine that has developed over the years for many different reasons. An examination of our new church studies offers some insight into how these bad doctrines get out of hand, and split the Faithful apart.
Jesus Christ wants Becker Bible Studies authors and teachers to write guided Bible Studies based on His Word. We do the best we can, and strive to remove tradition from our mindset, as we examine His Word in the minutest details. We reference Scripture always, and leave no doubt to where we were led or traveled to reach the conclusions we formed.
If we stray from the path, we are guided immediately back through the moving of His Spirit through our studies, and any error immediately acknowledged and corrected. We truly are the real deal here, trying to teach hungry Christians His Word as best as we can through the moving of His Spirit.
We write Bible Studies based solely on the King James Bible. Our students come from all over the world, and all denominations. Our Bible Studies are used by the United States Chaplains in the US Army, by federal and state prisons, by Bible students in seminaries and Missionaries of all denominations, at home and all over the world. Most recently, some officials from the Holy See have visited our site and taken a look at our studies, resulting in an acceptance by many of the Catholic faithful.
Our ministry's focus is to move people to pick up their Bibles, read them, and learn the things that God wills them to know, without influence by man's doctrine or practiced theology.
Our studies are very popular among the serious and true Christians. Fundamental conservatives like our studies because of our use of the King James Bible, with detailed reference in each of our studies. Though many of the conclusions we reach conflict with their individual denomination stated beliefs, the differences are usually minor and resolvable within their practice of Faith.
We are proud to include strong Catholic Faithful in our midst, as they come to us to learn the things of a King James Bible based study without fear of attack or conversion to Protestantism. We recently received a wonderful letter from one of these strong Catholics, Phil Ropp, who said ...
"I shared a little of my faith with you and am delighted to find out that we are on the same page when it comes to living out our Christianity. Truth be told, I have many more issues with the far left liberal faction in the Catholic church than I do with Bible believing Protestants like you. In the Protestant churches when there is disagreement it is a matter of splintering off into yet another church. In the Catholic church we have members that run the gambit from closed minded fundamentalists to far out liberal lefties all under one roof. They are, of course, at each other's throats while the rest of us are somewhere in the middle just trying to follow Jesus as best we can and love each other the way we were told to do. Fortunately, the extremists at either end of the spectrum are a small but highly vocal minority and serve mostly to make more noise than trouble."
We're not extreme, nor are we liberal. We are "just right" cause that's the way God made us!
We are not well liked by any religious organization that tries to brainwash, manipulate, scare, introduce false teachings, who liberally encourages ways of the world, or who stresses theology, apology or tradition in direct contrast to the Word of God in their ministry focus. In fact, it is these false ministries and false teachings that move us to do His works all over the Internet. We feel it is important for every Christian to study and know God's Word without corruption or denominational leanings.
Becker Bible Studies authors and teachers are not part of a denomination, and we are not a new religion. We just teach the Bible, and we are very, very good at it as He guides us to write the studies that will guide hungry Christians to the knowledge He Wills them to possess, to allow them to accomplish the Works He Wills them to do!

David, I was with you until you claimed inspiration by God's Holy Spirit ... then you lost me. We hope, study, pray for such inspiration, but at what point can we make the unqualified statement that we have it? Are you on the same level as Isaiah and Paul, to claim God speaks through you?
Jim,
Thank you for taking the time to write.
The reason we state that Becker Bible Studies "Guided Bible Studies for
Hungry Christians" is written by the Holy Spirit is because it is the Truth.
We do not have a high opinion of our work, because it is not our work that is contained within these studies. If in fact, some of our word, rather than the Holy Spirit's Word, is represented within these studies, then we have failed in our humaness, and we will correct it immediately.
Every Christian receives the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands.
Every Christian receives different gifts and works from the Holy Spirit in
accordance with God's Will.
Our gift from the Holy Spirit is the gift of teaching. But what do we teach?
Do we teach the Word of God in accordance with the doctrine of man?
Do we teach the Word of God in accordance with our current knowledge?
Do we teach the Word of God in accordance with your current knowledge?
Certainly, if we used our knowledge or yours, we could gain attention and reward for our efforts.
Every book that we wrote, every person we taught, could be accredited to us, and we could benefit from the position of wisdom, power, and riches that it would derive.
If on the other hand, we do not have the ability to interpret scripture
without the Holy Spirit, if we do not have the ability to learn the mysteries of God without the Holy Spirit, and if we are unable to teach the Truth in God's Word without the Holy Spirit, then it would be very, very wrong for us to take credit for His Works.
We are not smarter, holier, wiser, richer or greater than any other
Christian that does works for the LORD GOD by allowing the Holy Spirit to
accomplish works through our human bodies. In fact, we are often astounded when new mysteries are revealed in a passage that was impossible to understand through our human minds.
We are very gifted, however, at one thing that many Christians have difficulty doing:
We have learned to empty ourselves of ourselves. As Christians become mature in their faith, it becomes easier to do this, to allow the Holy Spirit to work through them.
When we are at our spiritual best, and the things of this world are not in our presence, and our focus is only on His Word, the Holy Spirit indeed takes over, and reveals what He Will.
Over the years, we wrote these
revelations down and taught them to our students, until one day, He led us to publish these things to the world.
We know how it sounds to say that the Holy Spirit wrote our studies, and we
know the jealousies, fears and contempts it causes among a few of our fellow Christians.
We also know that Guided Bibles Studies for Hungry Christians has been examined in detail, over and over, by Theologists, Institutions and Indiviuals who want to prove we are lying about His Touch.
Think how much easier it would be to discredit work done by my human hands, than with work done by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, think about how much dread we have at Becker Bible Studies, that we might fail the Holy Spirit by allowing some of ourselves into this project!
We know our responsiblities to represent His Word as truthfully as we can, and we know what our punishment from the LORD GOD will be if we fail to accomplish His Works in the manner He
Wills.
We also know what our punishment will be if we were to take credit for any of His Works resulting from the teaching and writing of "Guided Bible Studies for Hungry Christians".
So, Jim, I am glad that there are Christians still out there that defend and rebuke and question and do all those things necessary to make sure that the LORD GOD's Word is represented Truthfully.
We can only accredit the Works done through Becker Bible Studies to the Holy Spirit, because it is the Truth.

David,
Do you then believe it not important what church you attend or if you attend a church? Can you be the Christian God wants you to be by just study alone?
The bowels and mercies of Christian fellowship among believers does more for the spiritual growth of a Christian, than study alone. It is critical that every Christian have a congregation of believers surround him, to protect, encourage and challenge as well as ensure that the walk of Christ is maintained.
However, we must take care to define the word "church" correctly. These mega churches and mega religions who seek numbers and dollars more than ensuring each of its members are walking the walk of Jesus Christ according to the Word of God, are corrupting believers. Many go to these churches Sunday after Sunday, and fail to meet God; they meet alot of well-groomed and nice people...but that's not going to get them to the spiritual growth they need.
Small groups of Christians in fellowship, led by a devoted and educated shepherd who has only Christ's walk and will in his duties, coupled with a good Bible study like the one we provide, with a Holy Spirit moving greatly in their midst, and an outward expression of Him being produced in works that glorify Him, is an ideal setting for the spiritual growth of a Christian.
