This
ministry is thus titled because the authors believe and know that
the message of Jesus Christ is one of simplicity and truth. A host
of “would-be” scholars (self proclaimed) spend hours
studying the Word of GOD in order to sound intelligent with the
ulterior motive of glorifying themselves (1 Cor.2:3-5). Many denominations
even boast that only specially trained clergy are capable (which
makes it man’s effort, not GOD’s glory) of interpreting
GOD’s Word and sharing the gospel message in its proper form
(this is FALSE; 1 John 2:27). Of course this petition (to share
the gospel and study the Word for yourself) is given to every believer because we are all part on
the body of Christ (Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:46-47).
This
site is constructed in order to promote the Word of GOD (The Bible,
Old & New Testaments) stating that IT is inspired (2 Peter 1:20-21)
by GOD the father (the one and only Lord of heaven to whom all glory
is due) and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ His Son because
salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12).
All the doctrines set forth in our teachings are meant to be edifying the body of Christ. Nothing contained on this site is intended to offend. If there are any questions, comments or concerns about anything on this site, please let us know by emailing us, click here to email KISM. We are willing to discuss or debate any of the docrtrines set forth on this site.

(PS
- Keeping it Simple (KISM) is not a church. We believe that every Ministry should be under the authority and accountable to a local church. KISM operates under the authority and is accountable to a local church. If you would like more information about this just let us know via email. KISM started
as a 15 minute radio show on the local radio station in our area. Then I decided to make a website and post some of the things
we were talking about and it went from there. We ("John" and "Jason")
are both Independant Fundamental Baptists in our doctrine
and manner of life.)
(***What
do you mean, "Independent...
Fundamental... Baptist"?)
Does KISM accept donations?

Our
Goals
Our
main goal here is to be a help to those in the body of Christ and
to present the message of salvation to as many as will hear. Our
goal with this website is NOT to make money or drive a better car,
etc! We do not ask for donations but will take them if forced upon
us (which has happened)! Both of us have full time jobs from which
we fund all our ministry efforts. Our next major goal is to have
a newsletter. After that we would like to be able to afford more
radio time where we would have a daily talk/preach/music/call-in
show during a prime time slot. This, of course, is a long term goal!!!
Goals
Update (1/5/05) - We have our first newsletter ready! We would like
to expand our ministry to include speaking engagements, but we'll
have to see!!!
Goals
Update (9/11/05) - Of course of ongoing goal is to find any and
every way to get the message out. John has started a blog at: http://isaiah820.blogspot.com/,
ENJOY!
Goals
Update (11/10/05) - Another Internet Radio station has started playing
our hour long shows. Mike G. of The Berean Radio Network plays
fundamental preaching and teaching 24 / 7 / 365. His station has
no set times for the ministries he airs, it is simply good teaching
all the time. If you need something to listen to at home or work,
please check out his station at www.bereanradio.org.
Goals
Update (5/15/05) - Keeping It Simple has expanded it's audience yet again! We now have our own page on www.sermonaudio.com and have also had all of our Internet Radio Shows added to www.forgottenword.org!!! Many thanks to Mr. Bob W. at Forgotten Word Ministries.
