DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS NOW THE PROVERBIAL “CEMETARY,” FOR THEY HAVE TAUGHT MEN HOW TO “TEACH TRUTH AND LOVE WELL” BUT NOT LIVE WELL IN THAT THEY NEVER TAUGHT THEM  THE HIGHEST MARK OF CHRISTIAN MATURITY — TRANSPARENCY!

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY NEEDS TO START A NEW CLASS FOR THE PREACHERS WHO GO THERE ON THE SUBJECT OF HUMILITY, HONESTY, TRANSPARENCY, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF HUBRIS. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN 2024, SEVERAL PROMINENT DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY GRADUATES HAVE FALLEN ON THEIR FACES IN THE GREAT FALLING AWAY. CONTRARY TO WHAT THESE PASTORS MAY THINK OR WHAT DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY PROFESSORS MAY THINK, THE SINS THESE PASTORS COMMITTED ARE NOT THE WORST PART. THE WORST PART OR THE GREATER SIN OF THESE GRADUATES FROM THE ONCE KING OF SEMINARIES — DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY — IS A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY — COVERING UP SIN, DISHONESTY, HIDING THE TRUTH, COLLUSION TO COVER UP SIN, DELAY, TAKING THE 5TH, TRIANGULATION, OUT RIGHT LYING, ETC.

 

WHYTE SAYS THAT OVER 40 YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WAS A STUDENT AT BAPTIST UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA IN DECATUR, GEORGIA, FRESH OUT OF THE U.S. AIR FORCE, OUT OF ALL THE GREAT PREACHERS WHO CAME TO PREACH IN CHAPEL, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PREACHER WHO BLESSED HIS LIFE AND IMPACTED HIS LIFE THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE BECAUSE THAT PREACHER WAS SO HUMBLE, HONEST, AND TRANSPARENT IN PREACHING AND THAT WAS DR. RAYMOND HANCOCK OF MORROW, GEORGIA, WHO IS NOW HOME WITH THE LORD. DR. RAYMOND HANCOCK WAS SO BROKEN, SO HUMBLE, AND SO DEAD TO THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND THE DEVIL THAT HE WAS COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT IN HIS PREACHING ABOUT HIS SINS, FAILURES, FAULTS, TEMPTATIONS, TRIALS WITH HIS FAMILY AND HIS CHILDREN, ETC., WHYTE USED TO BE GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT HIM COMING BACK TO CAMPUS TO PREACH IN CHAPEL BECAUSE HIS PREACHING WAS THE MOST POWERFUL AND MOST HELPFUL TO WHYTE AND THE STUDENT BODY. WHYTE SAYS RAYMOND HANCOCK WAS THEIR FAVORITE PREACHER BECAUSE HE TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT HIMSELF. HE WAS TRANSPARENT. OVER THE YEARS, THE LORD HAS SHOWN WHYTE THAT TRANSPARENCY, HONESTY, BEING DEAD TO SELF, AND OPENNESS ARE THE ZENITH OF CHRISTIAN MATURITY. WHYTE SAYS THE REASON GOD CONTINUED TO CALL DAVID “A MAN AFTER HIS OWN HEART” EVEN AFTER HIS TRIPLE SINS OF ADULTERY, MURDER, AND LYING WAS THAT DAVID WAS TRANSPARENT AFTER HE WAS CONFRONTED BY GOD’S PROPHET, NATHAN, WHO SAID “THOU ART THE MAN.”

 

DANIEL WHYTE III REPEATS HIS ADVICE TO YOUNG PREACHERS: DO NOT GO TO BIBLE COLLEGE OR SEMINARY RIGHT AFTER GETTING SAVED AND CALLED TO PREACH. STAY IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH UNDER YOUR PASTOR FOR AT LEAST FOUR YEARS BECAUSE THE BEST SEMINARY CAN BECOME A CEMETARY REAL FAST AND KILL YOUR MINISTRY GRAVEYARD–DEAD. WHYTE ASKS EVERYONE TO PRAY FOR TRUE REVIVAL AT DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AND ALL OTHER FORMER GREAT SEMINARIES THAT HAVE TURNED INTO CEMETARIES PRODUCING DEAD PREACHERS.

 

WHYTE SAYS, IN HIS OPINION, THAT THE SODOMY/HOMOSEXUAL LGBTQIPF2SSAA+ PROMOTING AND AFFIRMING ANDY STANLEY AND HIS PROTEGES, SUCH AS CONWAY EDWARDS, WHO ARE BOTH GRADUATES OF DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE TO THE CHURCH AND TO LOST SINNERS THAN ANY HERETIC, FALSE PROPHET IN THE LAST 2000 YEARS. THE OTHER DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY GRADUATES WHO SINNED IN 2024 AND WHO HAVE NOT BEEN  TRANSPARENT, SUCH AS STEVE LAWSON, TONY EVANS, CHUCK SWINDOLL, AND HIS DEALING WITH HIS FALLEN LONG-TIME ASSOCIATE PASTOR, TONY CAMMAROTA, WHOM CHUCK SWINDOLL AND OTHER LEADERS AT THE CHURCH CHOSE TO REFER TO HIS SIN AS AN “UNSPECIFIED MORAL FAILURE” AND THEN URGED THE CHURCH TO NOT ENQUIRE ABOUT IT AND NOT TALK ABOUT IT. ALL OF THESE BIBLE SCHOLARS KNOW THIS IS NOT THE BIBLICAL WAY TO HANDLE SIN AMONG PASTORS AND CHURCH SERVANTS FOR AS THE BIBLE TELLS US “THEM THAT SIN REBUKE BEFORE ALL, THAT OTHERS ALSO MAY FEAR.” THEY HAVE HURT THE CHURCH AND LOST SINNERS MORE IN ONE YEAR THAN ANY GROUP OF MEN HAVE HURT THE CHURCH IN THE PAST 200 YEARS. WHAT IS SO SAD ABOUT THIS IS THAT NO ONE WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT ANYBODY WOULD COME OUT OF THIS BASTION OF BIBLICAL THEOLOGY — DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY — AND DO THIS MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CHURCH AND THE LOST WORLD. WHYTE SAYS HE CUT HIS TEETH ON THE DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY FOUNDER LEWIS SPERRY CHAFER’S SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY AND WRITINGS AND THE GREAT PROFESSOR DWIGHT PENTECOST’S WRITINGS. BOTH ARE ROLLING OVER FACE DOWN IN THEIR GRAVES.

 

 

Former Trinity Bible Church Lead Preacher Steve Lawson claims to be repentant, according to exclusive audio of a Q&A event obtained by Protestia, but the elders at the church are not convinced, at least at the time of a church meeting a little under a month ago, and at least according to the elders.

On December 11, 2024, Trinity Bible Church held a church-wide update and fellowship time where they were provided a series of updates and announcements related to Steve Lawson, as well as ongoing capital projects, church expansions, new buildings, budgets, tithing, polity, membership, etc.

The elders of Trinity Bible Church have been tight-lipped about the circumstances and aftermath surrounding the departure of Steve Lawson, with their only public statement in the past four months saying that he’d had an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman and was “removed indefinitely.”

While this silence and vagueness has also extended to church members, many who have departed over the lack of communication and transparency from leadership about this issue, some information has trickled through, in large part due to our reporting.

In particular, we learned that Lawson, 73, was not simply involved in an inappropriate relationship that resulted in him being indefinitely removed from the church, but instead was in a long-term sexual relationship with a woman in her twenties that resulted in him being permanently disqualified. We also learned that he was not an elder of the church, never wanted to be, and had left the state, refusing to submit to church discipline.

To this end, here are some answers to questions raised during the meeting, with the transcript lightly edited for clarity and combining the voices of the elders into one.

What was a timeline of events?

When his sin was found out, Steve was compelled by the young girl’s family to come forward to the elders and confess his sin. That if he didn’t confess his sin, they were going to make the story public.

So, on a Monday evening, he contacted Kent and told him what he had done, a portion of what he had done. They had breakfast on Tuesday morning. We had an elder meeting scheduled that Tuesday evening. Kent told us what happened. Matt, Tim, and I met with Steve on Wednesday morning, about 11 o’clock, at Tim’s office down the street.

At that point, Steve confessed to us a portion of what he had done. Within 24 hours of knowing that- we had no prior knowledge. No one that we knew had any prior knowledge. None of the ministries that he was involved with had any prior knowledge. But within 24 hours of finding out what Steve had done and hearing from his own lips what he had done, we wrote the letter and made it public to the church.

The elders reveal that whereas previously they only publicly said that he was removed indefinitely, they now say he has been permanently disqualified.

He disqualified himself from the ministry, and we put that he had had an inappropriate relationship with a woman who was not his wife.

Well, since that, we also not only told him that he was relieved of all his duties, we stopped immediately any financial compensation that we were giving him.

And um, first days and weeks and as time unfolded, the elders, we have learned that Steve’s sin has permanently disqualified himself from the ministry. What he has done is beyond what a minister of God can do.

And so we, the elders, dealt with this quickly. We dealt with it biblically. We conferred with many other godly men, again to include John MacArthur.

The scope of Steve’s sin has greatly affected his family. It’s greatly affected this church. It’s greatly affected all the ministries, the seminaries that he was involved in.

Turning gears a bit, the elders say that they are unhappy with how the “internet mob” has been handling the situation, saying folks online have “invented a narrative that is most of the time not based on fact.”

That said, as an organization that has covered many statements over the years of pastors being caught up in sin, a good statement should state what happens in sufficiently clear (and not salacious) terms so that no speculation is needed, the manner in which the pastors responded to the exposure, and the clear consequences of the actions.

Trinity’s statement and subsequent silence did not meet those criteria, and this is why people have had a difficult time letting it go, particularly because Lawson wasn’t just a personal and private pastor to a local church, but instead put himself out there as a rockstar public figure traveling the world while involved in many ministries, with the church’s blessing.

The former scenario is far more private than the latter, as for better or for worse, it inexorably puts the local church at risk of having to navigate the fallout when these celebrities fail.

I can tell you this. There is no accountability program as legalistic as you could make it, that would have ever have prevented Steve from this dual life of sin that he was living. He was living a lie. He wasn’t practicing what he was preaching and he lied to everyone in his life. He kept this a secret. And so the Lord revealed it.

Then, to reinforce our previous point:

Moving forward, we will continue to update the congregation as needed. We will only yield to the scriptures and not to the mob on the internet.

We are only gonna tell you what we need to tell you.

The elders suggest that several members who have left the church have done so because they made an idol of Lawson, all without acknowledging that many have left because the elders refused to meet with them and discuss it further.

Church leadership did not name his sin or bring it before the church members until weeks after their initial announcement, after many families had left. According to our sources, families who were not in attendance on the Sunday the elders provided more details reached out to the church leadership to see what was said and what they missed, but they did not receive a reply.

We’ve had people leave the church, we’ve had people that were here because of Steve Lawson. I will tell you this: man’s heart is an idol maker. Man’s heart is an idol maker. And whenever you give a man too much attention, you hold him in too high of esteem, it’s  bad for both parties. It’s bad when a man thinks that he’s anything more than a man. Cause we’re all sinners. And it’s bad for the person when you elevate someone beyond what he is and that’s simply a man.

Responding to the issue of searching for a new pastor, they say that they could not hire other pastors while Lawson was there because he impeded them.

We didn’t know this, but, and the Lord has really revealed this and sort of torn back the curtain,. Steve as well as he preaches, was the impediment for us to hire other pastors. And the Lord has removed that.

There are many men who have filled this pulpit over the years. And if I told you their names, you would know who they are. And we have asked them, for years, ‘would you ever consider being the pastor here?’ And the Lord in all that, has never opened the door.

We’ve made financial offers. We’ve been real serious about this. We’re going to continue to be serious and intentional. But there was an impediment. These men, for whatever reason, didn’t want to come. We are now in a position where we feel like the Lord….is going to bring us the right men, the right women, the right families for the ministries here. And so we ask that you would pray for that.

We are fishing in some pretty good ponds. We know a lot of people. We want a man who fits with us theologically. We want a man whose heart is after the Lord. We want a man who has the heart of a servant. We want a man who has a wonderful family. And that’s what we desire, so we would ask that you would pray for that.

The elders answer the question of whether or not Lawson was an elder of the church, confirming that he was not.

No. There was a reason why he wasn’t an elder. Number one, he didn’t want to be an elder, and we weren’t led to make him an elder.

I know that has been a stumbling block for some people, but that’s true. He was not the pastor, he was a lead preacher.

He said himself, he did not want to marry or bury. He had pastored in Mobile and he wanted to have a ministry that was more peripatetic, teaching and working at the seminary.

The meeting turns to the question of whether or not Lawson was an official, formal member of Trinity, and they affirm he was.

Both he and Anne were members. And he did go through the formal membership process, so let’s just be clear on that one.

Then a question about whether or not Trinity is considering hiring an interim pastor to replace the “clipped winged” Lawson.

I think the answer to that is we’re always open to that, but we’re looking for people that will be here full-time. And we have a group of men that have been coming and preaching, as you know. That’s been really the ethos from the very beginning, really more because of the tyranny of the urgent, and getting the work started.

And then Steve became more full-time, partly due to COVID his wings were clipped and couldn’t leave. We didn’t have any ability to fly people in. So that’s how that really came together.

So I think the answer is we’re open to that sort of thing. But we want somebody here that’s permanent, full time, dedicated. When they wake up every morning thinking about Trinity Bible Church.

Giving insight into the church’s notions of eldership and leadership, someone asks how big the church will get before they plant churches. (The church runs around 700-750 weekly, and they bought a 1600-seat campus a month before Lawson’s fall.)

They note that because they only have four people in leadership, it will be a while.

I think we’ll know when the Lord leads us that direction. What people have to remember is when you plant a church, you need leadership to go to that church plant. There’s only four of us now, so we don’t have an NIL portal where we can go get elders and send them to Forney or Saxey or someplace like that.

So there’s a lot of these things that go hand in glove. You can’t start a church without a leadership team. So I think the Lord will make that clear when the time comes. Is that fair guys?

When questioned about how they should feel about Lawson’s body of work, the elders liken Lawson’s work to that of Spurgeon.

What Steve taught was still truth…Some people are gonna throw his books away, some people are gonna read his books. That’s your decision.

If you throw away all the books of all the people that you have that are sinners, Charles Spurgeon’s books are going to be trashed too.

Because the topic of membership has been touchy, they answer a question on the process:

We’ve taken a little bit of a time out of the membership process because of what’s been going on. We’re going to kick that full swing.

When we started this, it was interesting how the process changed. When we started this, we really didn’t want anybody to become a member after months and months of being here. There seemed to be a sense of urgency that was built in as more and more people came. The whole reason why we wanted time, and we want time to go by, is because you need time in any relationship to get to know us.

And you may think we’re great one day and then six months later you may not think we’re great, and vice versa. [laughter]

You will meet with an elder at the end of the process. Some of the people have been waiting a long time. We understand it. We are going to double down on it after the first of the year.

Insisting that there’s been a lot of misinformation about church discipline and the suggestion of their lack thereof, the elders retort that they can’t drag him back into fellowship and back to the state against his will.

That they can’t force him to return to his wife if he doesn’t want to.

We would take exception to that…we sought wise counsel from men like John MacArthur and others. We dealt with his issue, this sin swiftly. We dealt with it firmly. We immediately ended his remuneration. We disqualified him and we would now say permanently from ministry.

So we don’t have, that I know in the scriptures, extradition where we can go to Tennessee and drag him back to Dallas. And I think maybe some people want him led through the streets, have tomatoes thrown at him. But we’ve dealt with this swiftly and biblically…There is no timetable in some of these biblical passages. So as time goes on, if there’s something else for us to do, we will do that.

When we exposed him, that was a discipline. And he acknowledged it. So when he says, ‘yes, I agree, and I submit to the elders,’ he has been disciplined and he has acknowledged it. The next phase is the ball is in his court to show repentance. And now he goes back to Anne to his family and others.

So he went from being a social media sensation to complete and utter silence and exile…With regard to Matthew 18, what you don’t get to see many times, and we’ve seen this in the short time that we’ve been a church, is when you enter into Matthew 18, for example, we’ve never gotten to the end of that process because the person leaves.

You understand? They leave. We don’t have to drag people up in front of the church because they’re not there anymore.

Finally, the question of whether or not Lawson is repentant. Is he contrite and broken, or is he digging his heels in?

I’ll just tell you right now, as the guy who’s closest to him. He says he’s repentant and I don’t think he is.

I’m just telling you right now. He will tell you he is, until I see him, until he goes to his wife and he
goes to his family, I don’t care who else he says he’s repentant to.

His wife who’s been married to for 43 years? Nobody else matters.

And this ‘no communication with his wife and children?’ We need to continue praying for him.

It is our hope and prayer that the Lord would soon reconcile Lawson with his family, his immediate church family, and the rest of believers worldwide.

GOD ALSO LED HIM TO GUIDE THOUSANDS THROUGH THE CORONAVIRUS PLAGUE THAT KILLED OVER 20 MILLION PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE SINS IN THE JUDAS-LAODICEAN CHURCH.

DANIEL WHYTE III’S GREATEST BLESSING IN THIS LIFE IS HIS QUIVER FULL OF 10 CHILDREN — DANIELLA (DANNI), DANIEL IV, DANITA EVANGELINE, DANAE MARY-LOUISE, DANIQUA GRACE, DANYEL EZEKIEL, DANYELLE ELIZABETH BREEDLOVE, DANIELLE TEKEELA, DURAN-DANIEL AND THE FIRST DANIEL IV (DECEASED AND IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD), ALONG WITH GRAND-CHILDREN AND GREAT GRAND-CHILDREN.

DANIEL WHYTE III HAS BEEN UNBLISSFULLY BUT SEXUALLY SATISFYINGLY MARRIED TO HIS FIRST AND ONLY WIFE, MERIQUA WHYTE OF CHRISTIANA, JAMAICA, FOR OVER 36 YEARS. JESUS CHRIST SAID: “AND A MAN’S FOES SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.” EVEN THOUGH MANY EVANGELICALS, CHARISMATICS, AND PROTESTANTS TRY TO ACT LIKE THESE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE NOT A REALITY IN OUR MODERN CHRISTIANITY, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE SATANIC-DRIVEN PROSPERITY GOSPEL, OVER-POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY, WHICH IS A LIE, AND IS NOT BASED IN REALITY OR BIBLICAL TRUTH. HOWEVER, THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE TRUE FOR EVERY PERSON WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL AND THE OUTCOMES OF THE GOSPEL, WHICH IS A CHANGED LIFE AND OPPOSITION, THEREFORE TO FAMILY, LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS, LAODICEAN-JUDAS PASTORS AND CHURCHES, THE WORLD, AND THE DEVIL. THIS IS A REALITY, YES, IN OUR PRESENT EVIL WORLD.

WHILE DANIEL WHYTE III THOROUGHLY ENJOYS HIS MARRIED LIFE BECAUSE HE DID NOT ALLOW HIS WIFE TO HAVE HER WAY AT ANY POINT AND WAS AND IS SOLIDLY AND BIBLICALLY, THE HEAD OF HIS HOUSEHOLD THROUGHOUT THE MARRIAGE, WHO HAS OFTEN TIMES QUOTED JOSHUA “AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE’RE GOING TO SERVE THE LORD” “UP IN HERE!” AND BECAUSE HIS WIFE NEVER FAILED IN THE VERY IMPORTANT AREA OF SEX, WHICH HE GOT MARRIED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE TO AVOID SINNING AGAINST GOD. HE HAS ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE PRIVILEGE AND JOY OF RAISING HIS CHILDREN IN THE LORD VIRTUALLY BY HIMSELF AND SERVING THE LORD WITH THEM EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES, FROM THE TIME THEY WERE BORN UNTIL THEY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, BECAME ADULTS, AND MOVED ON AS GROWN PEOPLE.

HOWEVER, HIS WIFE MERIQUA WHYTE MOTIVATED BY SATAN, PHAROAH-STYLE PRIDE MIXED WITH THE WELL-KNOWN FEMALE JAMAICAN-STYLE PRIDE, STUBBORNNESS, REBELLIOUSNESS AND WITCHCRAFT HAS BEEN HIS GREATEST JUDAS ENEMY IN THE WORLD AND HAS BEEN WHAT PAUL SPOKE OF — A “MESSENGER OF SATAN” AND A “THORN IN THE FLESH.” AMAZINGLY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, GOD HAS USED THAT SATANIC EVIL OPPOSITION TO SPUR DANIEL WHYTE III ON TO PREACH THE GOSPEL PROBABLY MORE TIMES THAN ANY MAN ON RECORD, AND GOD HAS HONORED HIM BECAUSE HE DID NOT “HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF HIS WIFE.” WHYTE TELLS OTHER CHRISTIAN MEN TO ONLY HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD AND JESUS CHRIST — NOT TO THEIR WIVES, AS SO MANY THOUSANDS OF CHURCH MEN AND OTHER MEN HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY PASTORS AND OTHER OLDER MEN DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS. REMEMBER WE ARE IN THIS WORLDWIDE MULTI-GENERATIONAL MESS BECAUSE ADAM HEARKENED TO THE VOICE OF HIS WIFE AND NOT TO THE VOICE OF GOD.

DANIEL WHYTE III TOLD HIS WIFE MERIQUA WHYTE BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO FAMILY LIFE AS HER PARENTS DID IT FOR THEIR MARRIED LIFE WAS HELLACIOUS AND ENDED IN DIVORCE, AS DID SOME OF HER OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE AUNT SHE WAS LIVING WITH. HE ALSO TOLD HIS WIFE WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO FAMILY LIFE AS HIS PARENTS DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS ALSO HELLACIOUS AND OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE HIS MOTHER WAS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD, NOT HIS FATHER, BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, THEY NEVER GOT A DIVORCE. WHYTE TOLD HIS WIFE BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IT GOD’S WAY ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS CHAPTERS 5 AND 6 OR NO WAY AT ALL. AND THEN HE ASKED HIS WIFE ARE YOU WILLING TO DO MARRIAGE GOD’S WAY ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS CHAPTERS 5 AND 6, AND SHE SAID YES. AND WHYTE TOLD HER BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED THAT IF SHE DOES NOT LIVE UP TO HER END OF THE DEAL, ALL BETS ARE OFF!

BECAUSE DANIEL WHYTE III’S WIFE MERIQUA WHYTE WAS SO PROUD, UNSUBMISSIVE, STUBBORN, AND REBELLIOUS AFTER THEY GOT MARRIED, GOD LED HIM TO READ EPHESIANS CHAPTERS 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY IN THEIR FAMILY DEVOTIONS THROUGHOUT THEIR MARRIAGE. IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE MARRIAGE DANIEL WHYTE III ALSO GAVE HIS WIFE A LIST OF VERSES FOR WOMEN FROM THE WORD OF GOD FOR HER TO READ, WHICH SHE STILL READS TO THIS DAY. HE ALSO BOUGHT HER MANY BOOKS TO READ TO HELP HER BE THE WIFE GOD WANTED HER TO BE.

WHYTE REALIZED EARLY IN THE MARRIAGE THAT HIS WIFE WAS NOT A BORN-AGAIN-SAVED PERSON EVEN THOUGH SHE LIED AND SAID SHE WAS BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED. AFTER OVER 36 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, SHE IS STILL NOT SAVED NEVER BEARING ANY FRUIT OF A SAVED PERSON TO THE POINT OF NOT EVEN WANTING TO TELL HER CHILDREN “I LOVE YOU” AND NOT WANTING TO HUG THEM WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE CHILDREN EVEN AFTER HER HUSBAND TOLD HER TO DO SO. SHE ALSO HATED THE DAILY FAMILY DEVOTIONS THAT HER HUSBAND LED AND TRIED TO HINDER THEM. SHE ALSO DEMONICALLY HATED AND TRIED TO HINDER EVERY GOSPEL PREACHING SERVICE TO THIS VERY DAY.

HOWEVER, ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THEY ARE STILL MARRIED AND DESPITE THE DEVIL CONSTANTLY WORKING THROUGH HIS WIFE TO TRY TO HINDER HIM FROM PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD, HE IS STILL PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD LIVE AND ON-DEMAND THAT REACHES OVER 148,800 PEOPLE PER MONTH WITH OVER 21,000 UNIQUE VIEWS PER MONTH REACHING 149 COUNTRIES PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD IN 2 TO 3 SERVICES A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK. GLORY BE TO GOD!

BELOW IS THE PASSAGE IN THE BIBLE THAT DANIEL WHYTE III READ IN THEIR FAMILY DEVOTIONS EVERY DAY FOR DECADES — EPHESIANS 5:22 – 6:20 THAT COVERS THE BIBLICAL DUTIES OF THE HUSBAND, THE WIFE, AND THE CHILDREN, AND IT INCLUDES HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST THE DEVIL WHO IS SEEKING TO DESTROY THE FAMILY:

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

THE BIG QUESTION
GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III

This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447 titled, “The Big Question” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.

“HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

A New Nature Needed
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.

Not “Trying” But “Trusting”

“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ, it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ Who has done it all! He has “finished the work” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!

What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.

The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent, and to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!

May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!

One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.

If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer: Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
