Another reason behind the Churches on Trial...a new Christian Blog

After the Churches on Trial (radio broadcast) was birthed and aired for a while over radio waves, people began learning more and more about the Bible. The show consisted of Biblical questions (from the public) and answers (given by Hubert Lindsey the Walking Bible) and stirred people to "study the Bible more". It taught the listener how to rightly divide the word of God. It taught the listener how to not depend on the opinions of men, or the traditions passed down from the grandparents. The truth and ministry in the Spirit that came forth on that show would not allow "imaginations of men to run wild" and there was no "sensationalism". It was plain and simple Bible Truth and the Spirit of God was behind it! Why? All honor and glory was given to the person of Christ! It was ordained by God to get men and women back to the Bible. It took man out of the picture and got people to Christ!

This writer was incarcerated at the time he was introduced to Brother Lindsey's ministry and the Churches on Trial. I was a new believer in Christ with a hungry heart to learn the Word of God and God knew that. The miracle was a "convict in the world" was "converted" by the Grace of God that Brother Lindsey preached about. I trusted Brother Lindsey's preaching as I took notes and studied closely, what was taught. The Churches on Trial compelled me to study the Bible, it compelled me to add to the knowledge that any new convert to Christ would have. Hubert's ministry over the radio showed me what the Bible really taught and who Christ really is! I didn't just take Hubert Lindsey's word for it, I became conscious. I took notes. I studied. I pondered. I researched. I digested...and it all paid off. Brother Lindsey never let me down...and neither did the Christ I serve. Christ put Brother Lindsey and his preaching across my path. Here's the testimony how Brother Lindsey impacted this writer's life.

I met Hubert Lindsey from the Churches on Trial radio broadcast in 1988. I finished my incarceration in 1997. I left Michigan with Christ in my heart to revive and restore a marriage and a family that I had lost because of a life of sin and disobedience to God. Christ paid off as Hubert always instructed me that He would do! I'm glad to testify today in 2009 that Brother Lindsey and his ministry for Christ.. did not let this preacher down. As a matter of fact it IMPACTED me enough to save a marriage, build a Church, and today this writer also does the work of the ministry. Halleluia...Christ restored my marriage, he blesses my family, and compels me to do the work of the ministry ... at the Church He compelled me to build! It's called the "Upper Room". It's a place of service for Christ! It's a place where I continue the foundational teachings of Brother Lindsey and carry on his ministry for Christ. It's a place where the Spirit of of God has compelled me to write this... Christian Blog.

May the Christ I serve bless your lives as much as He has this writer. God Bless! Don't forget...if you have a Biblical question...ASK! I'll get you a Biblical answer.

Hubert Lindsey's teaching on "Original Sin" dealt with the fallen nature of man...and teaches how the Christian gets rid of it

Hubert’s preaching on "Original Sin" always contrasted fallen man in light of the power of the true Gospel. Hubert’s reasoning was the depravity of man needed to be taught more in the modern Church-world so men would see more of their need for the redemptive work of Christ. Hubert’s preaching always kept the topic of the fallen state of man under the "light of the Glorious Gospel". Hubert Lindsey was very sensitive to "man’s helplessnes", "man’s hopelessness", and "man’s inability to change morally" without the redemptive power of Divine Grace. Hubert always emphasized the need for teaching both the "frailty of man" and the power of a resurrected Savior. Brother Lindsey knew that without recognition of man’s fallen state the unsaved world would have no need for the power and presence of a living Christ in their hearts. Hubert preached Christ to all his listeners and explained in depth mans need for deliverance from the "pollution of sin caused from man’s inherited fallen nature".

When Hubert preached he always addressed two types of sin. First was the act of sin that man commits; second was the actual sinful nature of man. Hubert’s Gospel always steered men to turn away from both kinds of sin to an acceptance of the person of Christ as means of redemption. At the end of his sermons Hubert always offered his audience invitation to the redemptive power of Christ. Hubert had no problem understanding that... only through the person of Christ could sinful men be led to "true repentance".

In all of his preaching Hubert always made the point that repentance means to change your mind. Hubert had a God-given way of describing the two-fold meaning of repentance. In one respect he would show repentance as man’s change of mind from wrongdoing and from sinful acts. Secondly, he would teach that repentance is man’s change of mind from what he is by nature. Repentance from the fallen state of man is not taught much in the mainstream today. Hubert understood that only the power from preaching the Gospel leads sinful men to repentance from what they did...and from what they are.

Luke 24:47… And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,
Acts 13:38-39…Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things

Hubert Lindsey confidently recognized the fact that the fallen nature of man "Original Sin" was a doctrine taught in almost every book of the Bible. Hubert believed that without this doctrine being taught man would lack understanding or the need for the work of the Holy Spirit that morally sanctifies man from the nature of sin. Hubert wouldn’t budge from the fact that man was carnal by nature as taught in the Bible. He knew that Christ was man’s only hope to be delivered from that "propensity of sin"! Hubert believed and taught that a man had to know “what he is” before he could find deliverance from the carnal heart through the Spirit’s Sanctifying work. Hubert professed there was a time in the past when the subject of the "depravity of man" was taught on more. Brother Lindsey proclaimed that the doctrine of depravity faded in the past 100 years. That’s why he called what we’re living in today, “The modern Church-world”. Among other things... the modern Church-world has drifted away from teaching …the depravity of man. In 1985 Brother Lindsey put this great subject onto an audio recording. It was titled, “Original Sin and doubt”. This audio recording contained a wealth of scriptural evidence that is “a must” for every Christian library. this write hopes to publish that recording on this Blog for Christ.

Hubert attended a Faith Conference in the 80’s where many known figures in the modern Faith Movement attended. He was approached by a popular mainstream Pastor (I won't mention his name) and asked, “What are you going to preach on tonight”. Hubert stated, “Doubt”. The Pastor asked Hubert, “Why doubt at a Faith conference?” Hubert stated because the Holy Spirit deals with the negative side of the human being. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin and reveals doubt to the human conscience. Doubt is,"faith in Christ’s greatest hindrance". Doubt is the fruit of man’s negative side that causes man to miss Christ. Hubert preached on doubt because it’s a product of the carnal heart. Doubt and uncertainty hinders people from believing or exercising faith in Christ. Hubert preached on doubt so he could show people how God could “rid” man from “it”. When Christ is revealed the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit directly “reproves” the negative part of man that produces doubt and unbelief.

John 16:8-9… And when he (The Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;
