Ministry Theme for 2025

Posted on January 2, 2025 by kgfranklin1@gmail.com

Happy New Year

Praise the LORD!  Welcome to 2025.  The LORD generally gives me a point of focus as I seek his purpose each year.  This year, the LORD placed it in my heart that I should challenge myself and others who seek to FOLLOW HIM to:

 “IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN THE WORD OF GOD THAT THEY MAY SEEK TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE RENEWING OF THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR IMAGINATION.”

Transformation comes from the Greek word metamorphoō, met-am-or-fo’-o (G3339); From G3326 and G3445; to transform (literally or figuratively “metamorphose”): – change, transfigure, transform.

I learned in school that metamorphosis is the process through which a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The caterpillar cocoons itself in a structure that it weaves, and its lifeform changes into that of a butterfly.

Paul writes to those who are following JESUS that there is a requirement that they no longer remain conformed to the world after they are born again, but they must seek to metamorphose (transform) by renewing their mind in the WORD of GOD! (Romans 12:2)

I invite you to cocoon with me in GOD’s WORD in 2025 so you can bring EVERY THOUGHT of your IMAGINATION into alignment and captivity to that which is written in the Holy Scriptures. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Peter says that as a Newborn babe, one should earnestly desire the sincere milk of the WORD that they may grow thereby. (1 Peter 2:2)

JESUS commanded, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (St. Matthew 4:4)

Let 2025 be the year that you READ and begin to study all the writings of His Apostles, from St. Matthew through Revelation.  If you are ambitious, I encourage you also to make it your purpose to read the entire Holy Scriptures over the next period of your life.

Let 2025 be the year that you find the 2 P’s of PURPOSE and PEACE and that you experience the change that many have earnestly sought. 

Continue to follow us at NTChurchMovement.com as we teach “How-To” READ and STUDY the Holy Scriptures so you too can become TRUE Disciples (from the Greek word mathētēs (G3101), which means LEARNER and PUPIL) of JESUS CHRIST!

Have a blessed 2025 in JESUS’ name, AMEN!

Book – Paul, The Moses of the New Testament Church

Posted on March 22, 2022 by kgfranklin1@gmail.com

This month, March 2022, marks the one (1) year anniversary of the publication of our first book for Galilee Publishing, “Paul, The Moses of the New Testament Church!”

This book is a comprehensive New Testament (NT) Discipleship training resource that provides practical “How’To” Scriptural guidance on living today as an NT DISCIPLE and FOLLOWER of JESUS CHRIST!

This large textbook is 8 1/2″ x 11″ x 3 1/2, weighs 1/2 lbs contains more than 600 pages includes more than 400 passages of Scriptures, contains 33 illustrations/tables/charts, and includes a comprehensive index.

This book examines the common characteristic shared in the Holy Scriptures by “ONLY” Paul and Moses. These shared characteristics identify Paul as the Lawgiver to the NT Church as Moses was the Lawgiver to the Old Testament (OT) Church. The book also explains why JESUS selected Paul to go to the Gentiles, kings, and Jews. (Acts 9:15) It also reveals why Paul, like Moses, became the most prolific writers in the Old and New Testaments, respectively, writing the oracles of GOD for those they were called to lead.

Most importantly, this book guides the way to learning how to WALK and PLEASE GOD today as an NT Disciple of JESUS CHRIST. It explains that JESUS intended for the NT Church to learn discipleship through the writings of His Apostles, especially Paul who accounted for 14 of the 27 books in the NT. (St. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:2) Paul’s books, especially Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, provide practical commandments from JESUS on how to live as His NT Disciples. 1 and 2 Thessalonians teach about JESUS return. 1 and 2 Timothy serves as great doctrinal books for the body of JESUS CHRIST; the Eklessia (the called-out ones, the Church). GOD dictated Hebrews to Paul and explains revelations that had been shut up since the beginning of times. Collectively, all the writings of the Apostles and others who wrote the NT provide the Scriptures that are key to Discipleship. (1 Peter 2:1-9; St. Matthew 4:4)

This book contains the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that Kelvin gained over more than 50 years of reading the Holy Scriptures and seeking GOD’s will and purpose for his life.

The book is available for purchase at the Galilee Publishing online bookstore: https://www.GalileePublishingShop.com. The book is on sale for $49.99. The book is also offered in a basic version that sells for $34.99.

The book is also available via Amazon: Paul, The Moses of the New Testament Church.
