The name we've chosen for this startup mission work is Sovereign Grace Reformed Christian Church - An Evangelical Protestant Church Committed To Worshiping God HIS way.

THIS NEW CHURCH WILL BE UNIQUE TO ALL OF LONG ISLAND in that it will be a Presbyterian Protestant church that is 100% committed to pure, Biblical worship. (Meaning, with Exclusive Psalmody, while using the 1650 Scottish Psalter and carefully carrying out God’s Scripturally revealed Regulative Principle of Worship. You ask, “Which Bible will future pastors use to preach from the pulpit?” Answer: ONLY ONE: The King James Version, God’s pure… Holy Spirit-superintended…  UNDILUTED… Anti-New Age Living Word — faithfully and accurately translated into easily understandable English. To read God’s Word in the original English used in the 1611 Bible, you can do so here.)  

As a corporate body, THIS NEW CHURCH WILL BE COMMITTED TO keeping the Lord’s Day — The Christian Sabbath — holy. Church members will be expected to keep their and their family’s focus on God and to conduct Bible study and family worship within the confines of their homes. Worldly distractions (such as Sunday Sabbath day-breaking sports) must be avoided. 

THIS NEW CHURCH WILL BE COMMITTED TO Biblical discipleship and individual growth in grace according to sound Biblical doctrines. (As taught in such classic Reformed Creeds as The Westminster Confession of Faith, The Canons of Dort, The Belgic Confession, and The Heidelberg Catechism.) 

THIS NEW CHURCH WILL BE COMMITTED TO carrying out Christ’s Great Commission (See Matthew 28:18-20 & Mark 16: 15-16), wherein we will make every effort to bring God’s Gospel of Free Grace and Salvation (from Ignorance, Sin, and Eternal Punishment in Hell – no, there is NO SUCH PLACE as Purgatory beyond the grave — only Heaven or Hell) to EVERY individual and family in Glen Cove, New York.

But, our primary goal, first and foremost, will be to worship our great Triune JEHOVAH… HIS way.

(Would you like to experience the joy of singing our Triune JEHOVAH’s praises with His Holy Spirit-inspired Psaltar — the way Christ’s Church did in Old Testament times when salvation and the privilege of worshiping God was exclusively confined to the theocratic nation of Israel? Then just go to Psalm Singing Online and enjoy singing God’s praises yourself… and doing so HIS way!

One more thing. Just so you know, listed below are some of the finest Calvinist Protestant Christian Resources on the planet – all carefully chosen. Their worth FAR EXCEEDS 101 academic degrees from Harvard University or any other institute of so-called “higher learning” – easily – see Mark 8: 36. For example, J.C. Ryle’s Living or Dead? A Plea For Genuine, Wholehearted Christianity.  This free audiobook provides a good litmus test for all professing Christians. If you are not yet a Bible-believing born again Christian, then you and your loved ones absolutely need to believe in Christ and repent of all your sins so as to become one. Mass numbers of people the world over do not realize it… but… from Genesis to Revelation… THE WHOLE BIBLE IS CHRISTIANITY!!! All men who die apart from faith in Christ the Messiah’s IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS and BLOOD ATONEMENT will forever pay for their sins down in Hell. “FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.” Ephesians 2: 8-9)

Right now, this recruitment website is now being built “brick by brick”… “block by block”. If you’re interested in becoming part of what we hope will become a new Reformed Protestant Christian denomination  — starting right here in Glen Cove, New York — but one which we hope to roll out all across America (in rural towns and cities alike) and then… indeed… possibly the entire world — then contact me. I’ll put you on our mailing list for updates.

Listen — GOD THE SON (see Mark 1:1) created you, me, the sun, the moon, and all the earth’s beautiful plants and animals. He created the universe and its trillions of stars and billions of galaxies (see John 1: 3 & 10). Since the earth is God’s creation, and we are living on HIS planet… on borrowed time… we owe Him something. 

(In fact, since God has saved us from our sins and Hell, through FAITH ALONE in the work of CHRIST ALONE, we owe Him EVERYTHING! See Q&A #1, Westminster Shorter Catechism.)

My point is, God could use a good Bible-believing man (or woman) like YOU. 

God has granted each one of us at least one talent. There is NO BETTER WAY of making use of that talent than by putting it to good use by helping to build and expand Christ’s Kingdom and Rule around the globe (please read Christ’s Parable of the Talents: Matthew 25:14-30)  — starting with you and your own family, right where you live, and in your hometown.  

And it doesn’t matter how old you are, either. You could be ninety-nine years old and almost wheelchair-bound. Your prayers to the Father in the name of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (see Mark 1:1), will become effectual for the great work ahead. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16

Now, in the meantime, listed below are faithful Calvinist Protestant Christian Resources that will help you to “Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10), and which I hope will prove a Holy Spirit-wrought blessing to you and your family. 

PLEASE NOTE: Because SALVATION from sin and ETERNAL DAMNATION in Hell IS absolutely a matter of life and death… please consider copying this site’s URL directly from the site’s page tab and texting it out to friends and loved ones alike. 

And like God’s pure and free grace, and with the exception of the books (a pittance when compared to their value), these mind-expanding resources are all free:

RESOURCE #1: trinityfoundation.org. A near endless GOLD MINE of accurate Calvinist Protestant (i.e., Christian) doctrine. Want to get a true, comprehensive definition of Christianity? Well, you should, for at least two good reasons. First of all, because from Genesis to Revelation, THE WHOLE BIBLE IS CHRISTIANITY.

You might not have known that. But, in fact, Old Testament Jews were saved from their sins and Hell the same way that previously blind heathen Gentiles have been saved for the past 2000 years: By the Father’s predetermined gift of FAITH in the ATONING BLOOD and IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS of His Son… Israel’s Messiah… the Lord Jesus Christ. “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17)

Secondly, for the sake of the salvation of your own immortal soul… AND… for the sake of the souls of your friends and loved ones (see Acts 16:31). Listen — there is NOTHING MORE PERILOUS to your life’s future (and that of your friends and loved ones) — both here and now and on that day you die, when you will step out into eternity — than corrupt, un-Biblical, man-made religious doctrines. Why? Because bad theology is pure poison. It keeps you on The Broad Road That Will Take You Down Into Hell — the same road all unregenerate men are on right now. 

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself has given us explicit warnings of the dangers of being beguiled by false teachers and corrupt doctrines of men. For example: “And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? (Luke 6:39) Ultimately, the “ditch” Christ is referring to must mean a fruitless life and then eternity in Hell. In Galatians 1:8, the Holy Spirit-inspired Apostle Paul tells us: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”  

In other words… what Paul is telling us is… if any man preaches any other “gospel” than God’s pure Free Grace Gospel (i.e., faith ALONE in Christ ALONE)… LET THAT MAN BE DAMNED.

Taken in either large doses or small, false theology destroys individuals… families… cultures… and… eventually… ENTIRE NATIONS. In fact, we are presently witnessing the slow death of the once-great United States. In colonial times, America was mainly made up of Bible-believing, Calvinist Protestant Christian people. 

Don’t believe me? Then get yourself a copy of the New England Primer. Embedded within its pages is the thoroughly Calvinist, mighty Westminster Shorter Catechism. The Revolutionary War against England, led by the intrepid George Washington, was primarily a religious revolt against government tyranny. Calvinist Protestant Christianity was colonial America’s heritage; Biblical Law was foundational to its freedoms and commitment to limited, constitutional republican government. 

But no more. 

The departure from our Protestant Christian roots and this present-day pagan Marxist Socialist reality helps to explain America’s skyrocketing crime and murder rates… its massive trade deficits… its country-killing national debt… its shameful, abominable abortion holocaust… and the failure of its “judges” to execute murderers, rapists, and recidivists, as explicitly commanded in God’s pure Word. 

Deficit spending by Marxist Socialist politicians is their foolish… evil… self-serving Keynesian-inspired attempt to turn stones into bread — in exchange for the government welfare vote, of course — see Matthew 4:3. And that word ABORTION… and that phrase “reproductive rights”… are nothing more than slick euphemisms and Orwellian-speak for INFANTICIDE and  MURDER. The deepest, darkest, hottest pits of Hell likely… justly… await the damned souls of every Darwinian Marxist Socialist politician or “judge” who has voted to legitimize,  uphold, and finance the murder of innocent babies.

Popery and multi-culturalism — both forms of satanic, soul-damning Liberalism (accurately and properly defined as any idea, thought, belief, emotion, religion, practice, behavior, or government policy that clashes with the teachings of God’s pure Word, the 66 Holy Spirit-inspired Books of the Bible — King James Version best) — are two pagan, parasitical “works gospel” factors. 

The socialist-minded… Christ-hating… secular humanist government schools are but one more lethal factor. You see, any school where JEHOVAH’s Ten Commandments (which were “WRITTEN WITH THE FINGER OF GOD” — see Exodus 31:18) cannot be posted in every classroom cannot rightly be called a school.  All government schools should be auctioned off to the highest bidders (where they could possibly be turned into homeless shelters — because with Big Government’s decades-old… unlawful… and covetous assault on private property rights and free market capitalism, we are undoubtedly going to need them), to then be replaced with Calvinist Protestant Christian private schools. 

This deadly combination of factors is why so many “American” politicians can get away with being greedy… lawless… covetous… lying and pandering, totalitarian Marxist Socialists. The Satanic doctrines these false religions teach are as far removed from Biblical, SOUL-SAVING CHRISTIANITY as the east is from the west.

The handwriting of coming judgment appears to be on the wall. It would seem that America must either become an explicitly Calvinist Protestant Christian nation (by way of belief in Christ coupled with Biblical worship and radical national repentance) or be crushed, pummeled, and obliterated by our great Triune JEHOVAH — which is exactly what God did to idolatrous, apostate Israel in Old Testament times. 

NEVER FORGET: Apart from simple faith (belief) in Christ, all men everywhere are dead men walking. They are living their lives while under God’s wrath and curse (John 3:36). Ever since The Fall, no man, by his own merits and law keeping, has ever been able to enter into Heaven and thereby escape going to Hell. After Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden, it never was that way… and never will be that way again. God’s pure, perfect, supernaturally revealed Word the Bible (King James Version best) has made it perfectly clear to all Truth Seekers: Faith Alone in Christ Alone is the ONLY WAY for a man to be justified (acquitted, or found not guilty) from his sins and guilt and made fit for entrance into God’s holy Heaven. 

RESOURCE #3: sermonaudio.com This website may rightly be thought a genuine gold mine. First of all, it features a zip code generated faithful Calvinsit Protestant church finder. Second, the ability to listen to a sermon on almost any given text of God’s pure Word which might be hard for you to understand (for example, 1st Peter 3:19-20). Finally, here are my highly recommended cream of the cream Reformed (i.e., Calvinist) pastors whose sermons can be found on this website: Edward Donnelly, Brian Schwertley, Maurice Roberts, Alan Cairns, Ian Paisley, Joel Beeke, John Greer, William McLeod, W.J. Mencarow, Stephen Hamilton, Richard Goswiller, Kevin McLeod, Lloyd Sterett, and David Silversides, among many others. These men are proven expositors of God’s holy Word. BUT PLEASE NOTE: When listening to  expositions of different sermon texts on a variety of different Biblical subjects, keep in mind that all expositions of holy writ must first be in conformity to God’s pure Word, the 66 Holy Spirit-inspired books of the Bible — King James Version best; and then, secondly, to Protestantism’s historic creeds and confessions of faith. For example, The Westminster Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession and The Canons of Dordt. That word Protestantism, by the way, is just another word for APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANITY. The whole Bible is Christianity, and Calvinism (which exalts the sovereignty, love, grace, justice, and limitless power of Triune JEHOVAH) is the theology that runs through each and every one of its pages. All praise and glory to our great God and sovereign Lord, King and Savior! Amen and amen!

RESOURCE #4: reformedonline.com Pastor Brian Schwertley may be modern Protestantism’s foremost, most uncompromising and learned advocate for Exclusive Psalmody and God’s Regulative Principle of Worship, as well as sane, logical, much-needed national theonomy. 

RESOURCE #5: spurgeongems.org – THOUSANDS of free PDF sermons from the ‘Prince of Preachers’… the Shakespeare of Protestantism…  that spiritual GIANT… the late great Charles Spurgeon!

RESOURCE #6: Aneko Press Protestant Christian Classics

RESOURCE #7: rushdoonyradio.org    R.J. Rushdoony was a Presbyterian minister and the author of over thirty books. His most important book, probably, was INSTITUTES OF BIBLICAL LAW, wherein he makes a meticulous, in depth, Biblical case that God’s Moral and Civil Laws should apply to every aspect of American life and society. He also helped to champion America’s Home School Movement. 

To get started, I would recommend going to his website, scrolling down to Lecture Series, clicking the link, and starting off with the lecture series titled “Christian Reconstruction.” If you’re a parent, follow it up with the series entitled “Modern Education” and then “Christian Schools”.

One hundred Ivy League college professors together couldn’t hold a candle to R.J. Rushdoony, and INSTITUTES OF BIBLICAL LAW should be required reading for all nine sitting members of America’s so-called U.S. “Supreme” Court.

From a Biblical perspective, if you would take the time to think about it, you would realize there is nothing “Supreme” about the U.S. Supreme Court. As an institution, these so-called liberal “judges”, with their fancy, highfalutin Ivy League “Law” Degrees attached to their names, HAVE THE BLOOD OF OVER 50 MILLION MURDERED BABIES on their hands. Hear what God’s pure word tells us about all men everywhere: “Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; THAT POWER BELONGETH UNTO GOD. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.” Psalm 62: 9; 11-12. 

In addition, certain Triune JEHOVAH-hating “judges”, during the Marxist Obama administration, institutionalized for all fifty republican states the soul-damning abomination of homosexual “marriage”. And now, today, we have the so-called LBGT movement, where “doctors” have license to mutilate children in exchange for money.

Each and every one of these lawless, Triune God-despising secular humanist “judges” will answer for their depravity and moral cowardice on God’s appointed Judgment Day, with Christ Himself — the Judge of all mankind — doing the judging. See John 5:22. Please consider carefully these next two passages of God’s pure, Holy Spirit-inspired infallible Word: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:41. “Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth: they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life: AND THEY THAT HAVE DONE EVIL, UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION.” John 5:28-29.

RESOURCE #8: Predestination, a book written by the late great Dr. Gordon H. Clark. This book unequivocally proves that our great Triune JEHOVAH is sovereign in ALL THINGS. (Including, by the way, the eternal destiny of your soul and mine.) Your salvation (from sin and eternal punishment in Hell) and mine are only traceable to God’s love and sovereign grace for His elect, predetermined before the world was even made. There is NO SUCH THING as “luck” or “chance” in God’s six, 24-hour day created universe.  This book is only available at trinityfoundation.org. 

RESOURCE #9: Christian Philosophy of Education.  A book written by the late great Dr. Gordon Clark. This book proves that today’s Christ-hating government schools and secular humanist colleges are mostly peddlers of nonsense and intellectual poison – that they are, in fact, THE DESTROYERS of Western Civilization.  

RESOURCE #10: Christ and Civilization, written by the late great Dr. John Robbins. This powerful little book exposes the Big Lie that Western Civilization’s heritage of Freedom and Capitalism traces its roots back to pagan Greece and Rome. It makes the case (and proves) that King Jesus is the sole, original Founding Father of Western Civilization.  Should be required reading for anyone thinking about majoring in History at any one of today’s “prestigious” institutions of so-called “higher learning”. 

RESOURCE #11: Charles Spurgeon’s Believe and Be Saved, a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press.

RESOURCE #12: C.H. Spurgeon’s Jesus Came to Save Sinners, a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. In this audiobook, Charles Spurgeon, one of Protestantism’s greatest Free Grace preachers, makes the case (and proves it) that all men everywhere are Guilty Lawbreakers (i.e., Vile Sinners) and, for this very reason, PERFECT CANDIDATES for God’s free grace, the forgiveness of ALL of their sins, and God the Father’s gift of the imputed perfection and righteousness of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! (Yes, my friend; there’s real hope for you and for me, provided we believe in Jesus as He has been revealed to us in God’s Holy Spirit-inspired Scriptures — the 66 books of the Bible, King James Version best.)

SOURCE #13: Repentance, by Calvinist Protestant Christian minister J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Repentance, meaning a change of mind, is the flip side of the free grace faith alone in Christ alone coin. Genuine, Holy Spirit-wrought, soul-saving faith will naturally produce the fruit of repentance in the life of the true believer. All manner of sin in the believer’s life will be hated, loathed, fought against, repented of, and confessed to the Father through the mediation of His Son. Absent this doctrinally sound, Biblical reality, and you will be lost forever. 

RESOURCE #14: The Ten Commandments. Life Applications, by Puritan Protestant Christian minister Thomas Watson; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press.

RESOURCE #15: J.C. Ryle’s Exposition of The Gospel of John, a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Pure gold. A masterpiece. No comment of mine could even begin to do justice to Pastor Ryle’s insightful exposition of the Gospel of John.

RESOURCE #16: J.C. Ryle’s Thoughts For Young Men

RESOURCE #17: The Blue Letter Bible’s Free App for iPhones & Androids. This power-packed FREE app gives you daily full access to Matthew Henry’s complete Bible commentaries, as well as Charles Spurgeon’s magnificent commentaries on God’s Holy Spirit-inspired Book of Psalms. Also: David Guzik’s Commentaries on Solomon’s God the Holy Spirit-inspired Book of Proverbs are OUTSTANDING. Many, MANY other features as well, not to mention (of course) easy access to every verse of God’s pure Word, the King James Bible. (And remember: Just because this app is FREE, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider sending them a small annual monetary gift to help the developers cover their operational expenses. We blood-bought Christians (1st Peter 1: 18-20) are not supposed to think like Communists or Marxist Socialists, and unlike what the teachers’ unions indoctrinate children and young people into thinking at the Triune God-hating government schools, there really is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH. Moreover, a man has no right to ANYTHING he hasn’t justly earned by the sweat of his brow, except by way of legal family inheritance. See God’s 8th and 10th Commandments — Exodus 20: 15 & 17) 

RESOURCE #18: Charles Spurgeon’s Exposition of Psalm 119, a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press.

RESOURCE #19: Keeping the Heart, by Puritan Christian minister John Flavel; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press.

RESOURCE #20: An Exposition of The Gospel of Luke (Part 1), by Calvinist minister J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Pure gold. A masterpiece. No comment of mine could even begin to do justice to Pastor Ryle’s insightful exposition of the Gospel of Luke.  

RESOURCE #21: An Exposition of The Gospel of Luke (Part 2), by Calvinist Protestant Christian minister J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press.  

RESOURCE #22: Coming Events and Present Duties, by Calvinist Protestant Christian minister J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Pure gold. In particular, chapters 5 & 7 are clarion calls to all Protestant Christians to start getting their act together by reaching out and sharing God’s pure Word and Gospel of Grace to our beloved Jewish friends. (I would also add that Christ’s church ALSO needs to repent of its often mindless, man-centered, kumbaya-style “worship” services — if, that is, it is EVER going to have ANY chance of appealing to the logical, law-abiding, highly intelligent mindset of the Jewish people. AND PLEASE REMEMBER: Every page of God’s Holy Spirit-inspired Word was written by a Jew. Our debt to our beloved Jewish friends is priceless.)  

RESOURCE #23: Exposition of The Gospel of Mark, by J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Pure gold. A masterpiece. No comment of mine could even begin to do justice to Pastor Ryle’s insightful exposition of the Gospel of Mark.

RESOURCE #24: Exposition of the Gospel of Matthew (Part 1) by Calvinist Protestant Christian minister J.C. Ryle; a FREE AUDIO BOOK published by Aneko Press. Pure gold. A masterpiece. No comment of mine could even begin to do justice to Pastor Ryle’s insightful exposition of the Gospel of Matthew.

RESOURCE #28: Messiahnewyork.com – A Calvinist Protestant Christian’s Outreach To All Jews In Search of Messiah. (Their long-prophesied, long-awaited Messiah has already come — over 2000 years ago. In fact, as the evidence in the Scriptures for His deity is so weighty and overwhelming and makes abundantly clear… IF Jesus Christ is not eternal God, THEN one may safely conclude THERE IS NO GOD. But the hard, irrefutable facts, of course, prove otherwise. Please tell ALL of your Jewish friends about this website, for apart from the BLOOD ATONEMENT of the Lord Jesus Christ, they too are doomed. This site is packed with amazing, life-changing Resources for Jews and Gentiles alike.)

RESOURCE #29: Life In Christ – Lessons From Our Lord’s Miracles & Parables, Volume 1, by Charles Spurgeon. A free audiobook published by Aneko Press. This audiobook, written by the Prince of Calvinist Protestant Preachers, will help you blow away the clouds of doubt and despair that sometimes trouble nearly all believers. Simple faith, belief, and trust in Christ will bring you that all-important virtue of Christian assurance — that you are indeed A SAVED MAN (or woman) simply and only because Christ died for YOUR sins; that His Precious Blood is powerful enough to blot out our mountains of sin. 

RESOURCE #30: Radio Sermon Addresses by Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse. Dr. Barnhouse, a Presbyterian minister (not to mention an accomplished scholar), delivers abbreviated sermons that may be likened to valuable, multi-faceted glistening gems — diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls. BUT PLEASE NOTE: When listening to his (or anyone else’s) expositions of different sermon texts on a variety of different Biblical subjects, keep in mind that all expositions of holy writ must first be in conformity to God’s pure Word, the 66 Holy Spirit-inspired books of the Bible — King James Version best; and then, secondly, to Protestantism’s historic creeds and confessions of faith. For example, The Westminster Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and The Canons of Dordt.

That word Protestantism, by the way, is just another word for APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANITY. The whole Bible is Christianity, and Calvinism (which exalts the sovereignty, love, grace, justice, and the limitless power of Triune JEHOVAH) is the theology that runs through each and every one of its pages. All praise and glory to our great God and sovereign Lord, King and Savior! Amen and amen!

RESOURCE #31: A.V. 1611. This website defends the integrity of God’s Pure Word, the King James Bible, against all New Age comers. 

RESOURCE #32: The 1650 Scottish Psalter, with accompanying music. (Congregations will need to practice so as to sing God’s praises acapella.)
