The Birthpangs of the Woman of Revelation

The ministry began in the early 1980's with a few handwritten leaflets.

• The Restoration Leaflet.
• The Word of Faith Tract.
• 'They Want Your Mind' leaflet.

Over the years, the work grew with more written and audio material. After the Toronto Blessing arrived, everything accelerated. Working as a team, many watchmen sounded the trumpet to warn the Church of danger.

My beliefs are outlined in my statement of faith on the website. I am a traditional Protestant believer, raised in the Anglican church. Briefly my beliefs are as follows:.

1. Salvation is by grace, through faith.
2. God is a Trinity and Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
3. Heaven and Hell are real and eternal.

The only way to return to God and be reconciled to Him is through the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross, for only his shed blood is sufficient. I trust in God and his word. I believe in the inspired word of God, the gifts and ministries of the Spirit and the Second Coming of Jesus as Lord. .

With this present website, Birthpangs, my vision is to reach both believers and non-christians with a message of hope in the soon-return of the Lord. However, since I believe that we will all face increasing dangers and trials, that hope is tempered by a realistic preparation for coming events.

• We will be tempted both by false teachings and selfish desires.
• Sin matters - much more than we presently believe.
• Our beliefs about the endtimes should be grounded in the bible.
• The faith we have may not be sufficient if we neglect preparation.

There is much more that I could say on the same topic, but these brief remarks are not extensive enough to go into detail. I hope and trust you will browse the material on this site and find something to interest and help you.

I aim to be an obedient, gentle, humble and wise Christian, as God gives the grace. While admitting that, like all others, I cannot be perfect and that I often make mistakes, I strive always for:

• Humility — in putting myself lower than others and being teachable.
• Integrity — in being honest, straightforward and without guile.
• Self-Scrutiny — in which errors can be discovered and corrected.
• Knowledge — in which God alone is the Source and Teacher.
• Wisdom — in being led by the Spirit in my understanding & decisions.
• Maturity — in growth towards all things godly and good.

These qualities are aims, and I wish I could tell you that I had reached perfection! I fall far short, in many areas, but I feel it's important to strive for the highest while being realistic about my shortcomings. Above all, I praise God for his grace, mercy and forgiveness.
