Bashan Ministries


	Your hosts... Robert and Marjorie Carter

We are creating a brand new and vastly improved website to enhance your viewing experince.

It is close to completoin and will be published shortly

Marjorie and I are pleased to see you and hope that you enjoy your visit.

During your time with us, you may notice that we try to be different in our presentations.

This reflects our approach to ministry. We have found that many people want answers that work. They want a “God with skin on”—a God who is real and approachable and one who touches them in every area of life in the here and now as well as in the future.

Approximately 85 percent of the world’s population have some form of religious belief and such belief is expressed in different ways. It may be in churches, assemblies, mosques, synagogues and other places, including private homes, each of which with its own belief structure, form of worship and “language” that only those in such groups understand.

I shall mention only two, namely Muslim and Christian, but there are many others.

Muslims are comprised mainly of Sunni Islam, Shia Islam and Quranist Islam.

Christians are more diverse having denominations like Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals and more. Each of these denominations have their own “version” of Christianity. Such differences can lead to misinformation, extremes, excesses, control and abuse. It can all be very be confusing.

A cursory glance at many religious web sites will reveal trends according to those denominational beliefs. Many are excellent, but a cursory glimpse at most reveals common trends that whilst not necessarily incorrect, do not provide much workable information. They usually promote their own activities and programs, that whilst they may be good in their own right, often do not provide a web site visitor, or someone who is seeking answers and truth with the real help they seek.

We hope to provide some answers and present truth and by that I mean biblical truth based on the original languages whenever possible—but what is truth? Jesus spoke of that in John 14:6-7, saying:
I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father, too.

That word Know, in the original is Ginosko and it describes the deepest and most intimate form of relationship any two people can share and experience. Many people know “about” God— and express themselves in different forms of religious belief—but do not “know” God. There is a difference.

If there is life after death—a hereafter and places like heaven or hell, both of which are real, we need to know without doubt where we stand. We need to know this truth and put it to work. Our ministry and presentations are designed to hopefully assist you in this.

Blessings,

Robert

What we present will hopefully provide some answers.

Worth watching

This message is one of encouragement. It gives us hope of a bright and wonderful future.

It is based on John chapter fourteen where Jesus told the disciples that He was going to leave them.
When they expressed dismay, He assured them (and us) that everything would be well.

He spoke about the place He is preparing for us. This “place” is very real. It has physical dimensions and is measurable. The house Jesus spoke of is not just a “room” as often described, but speaks of an inheritance...

In this presentation, we look at those matters and more. They include an analysis of the “last supper”, Passover, bethrothal and weddings.

We see how they relate to us today.

This is a timeless presentation

It is based on the events of Easter / Passover

It reveals how much God loves you

The parable of the sower found in Mark chapter four is possibly more important that you think.

It is often misunderstood, but Jesus said if we understand this parable, we could understand all parables and more...

What we share can open up scripture for you.

The bible spoke volumes about the coming Messiah, starting in Genesis where we read:
Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild beasts that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say: You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?” The woman replied to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the other trees of the garden. It is only about fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said: ‘You shall not eat of it or touch it, lest you die.’ ” And the serpent said to the woman, “You are not going to die, but God knows that as soon as you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like divine beings who know good and bad.” When the woman saw that the tree was good for eating and a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a source of wisdom, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they perceived that they were naked; and they sewed together fig leaves and made themselves loincloths.
They heard the sound of the Lord God moving about in the garden at the breezy time of day; and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. The Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” He replied, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” Then He asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat of the tree from which I had forbidden you to eat?” The man said, “The woman You put at my side—she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done!” The woman replied, “The serpent duped me, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you did this, More cursed shall you be Than all cattle And all the wild beasts: On your belly shall you crawl And dirt shall you eat All the days of your life.
I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your offspring and hers; They shall strike at your head, And you shall strike at their heel.” Genesis 3:1-15

From that moment on, many prophecies spoke of His coming. Some spoke of a forerunner, who was John the baptist. He came in the spirit and power of Elijah and his message, spoken of in Isaiah 40, to God’s people, telling them to prepare themselves for the coming Messiah.

Paul said in Galatians 4:4 that when the time was right God sent His Son Jesus to redeem mankind.

Jesus told us that He would return. The issue is not if but when. If He needed someone to prepare the way for Him then, it is quite possible that ministries like John’s will arise to “prepare the way of the Lord”.
