'Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat...'
Davis' way of businessizing the ministry for profit is the destructive way. Is it also the broad?
Yes.
1) We now see that LOYALTY is the ruling faith of such ministries: Loyalty to the (lousy) Leader, Loyalty to the (false) doctrine, Loyalty to the (dominating) rules, Loyalty to the (exclusive) Organization, Loyalty to the (Made-up) program.
LOYALTY masquerading as and perverted from Faithfulness.
So long as one is LOYAL, one is good. And if successful too, then all the better. Indeed the most successful of them are judged the BEST of them.
"The Best of the best!" Olson's Defining Message in Davis' Ministry.
Whole conferences are based on the Cult of Loyalty to the First Person's Personage.
Whole marriages are destroyed and adulterously remarried by Loyalty.
The foulest and filthiest of cult-making ministers are trumpeted as great-ones, because of their LOYAL success. (Success if only good, if it remains LOAYL. Otherwise it is sedition.)
Many promoted and enriched ministers are rewarded simply for their Loyalty in times of 'crises' (Splits and/or mass departures).
"It's not those that are here (In NTCC) now, but those who are around (Davis) in the end!" Davis' Daughter-teacher: Defining the ultimate salvation of the Loyal-Ones to Davis' Ministry as those who endure to the end...
So, we see that Davis' way of church-business is broadly defined and judged: All it takes is LOYALTY. Not righteousness, Not faithfulness to God. Not kindness to men. Not love of our neighbors. Not the true holiness of the Scriptures.
Absolutely anyone and anybody shall be an honored member of Davis' Organization of churches and thus judged saved by Davis, so long as they are loyal. And to be trumpeted as well only takes some success at it. |

2) And we have manifestly seen that there be MANY that go in thereat by the ssoulwinning-recruitment program, but FEW indeed find life in it, but rather death and destruction because of it!
Cultism is the broad way of the many. There be many more who just want to be told what to do, no matter what the Bible says about it, rather than to live by the faith of Jesus as it is written, no matter what any other man may say about it!
After all, wasn't it the Pharisees who made BROAD their philacteries??
And they were them who judged by the appearance of your attendance and holding to their traditions LOYALLY, rather than having obdedience to God and His commandments, and NOT man. (Acts 5:29)
And there were many more who went back with them, than followed Jesus. (John 6:66) (Now, ain't THAT a coincidience! Ha!)
And so do the Pentecosts of today, of which Davis is a particularly seductive and malicious business-type, that will cause many to stumble at God's Word and Jesus' faith, in order to be LOYAL to his program.
And so how many have experienced the sense of isolationism (It is rather solitude time with Jesus) when departing from Davis' Group, and the wrongful shunning of them that LOYALLY stay and go along with the majority in their fellowships, while you are 'disfellowshipped' from the many??
"If you leave this Organization, I consder you an enemy!" (Davis & Kekel 6:66)
Therefore, consider and judge for yourselves. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve: Whether the LOYALTY of Davis or the faith of Jesus.
This is NO in-between. You CANNOT do both. (Matthew 6:24)(Luke 16:23) |

'Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.' (John 16:32)
'Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.' (Luke 12:32)
Truly, fear not, nor be grieved, nor stranded alone. It may not appear to be the way of the majority, and it is definitely NOT the Broad Way of the many that fear to depart from Davis' company and business.
But it is indeed the narrow way of Jesus to hearken to Him and His Word ONLY, and there be many more with us, encamped about the saints and a great cloud of witnesses, who chose God's ministry over man's business.
So many indeed, that they have walked with God on the Highway of true holiness to be counted among them that cannot be numbered in heaven!  ... (Three for Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And one for you, and then those that also follow Him only.)
'And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.' (Matthew 17:8) |
