"Reclaiming the Church
and Family
For Christ"
Thank you, in Jesus name, for visiting our Web Site.
This
page and all included individual links are Scripturally based, and, is our attempt to address many of our 21st Century
"Church Membership" & "Christian Family" issues
and concerns. For many years I have received email from "literally"
the four corners of our globe and this web site has been developed and grown over those many
years in answer to those email questions, comments and concerns.
I'm Rev. Robert
John Kuiphoff (Pastor K) and my wife of almost 50 years is
Mary Diane Kuiphoff.
(We're still kids at heart and life.)
No person, man, woman or child should ever feel like the following!
If you've ever felt this way, God's Word has the solution.
I believe that our world is asking the same question
that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus Christ
over 2000 years ago," What is truth?"

Salvation isn't optional, don't leave earth without it!!

II- What is the PURPOSE of this Web
Page?
This page
is
our introduction to Golden
Faith Bible Church.org
(our world wide web ministry and not a brick and mortar
church) and my wife and me; who
we are and
what we believe, live and teach.
We would like to hear from you. CHRISTIAN
AND CONSERVATIVE POLITICIAN'S
ABORTION'S EXCEPTION CLAUSE
AUGUST
3, 2011
NEW PRESIDENT OBAMA PURPOSEFUL
VIOLATION
OF THE WORD OF GOD AND OUR CHRISTIAN LIBERTY
TO NOT PAY FOR ABORTIONS!! ABORTION and A
WOMAN'S RIGHT This page contains
several beautiful "In the Womb"
baby pictures.
In the womb,
14
weeks old baby:
Due
to today's Administration and Congressional leadership,
" When the righteous increase,
the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules,
people groan"
(Proverbs 29:2)
The following is today's,
in the womb, baby's prayer: 
Question:
Does abortion
actually kill a baby? Question:
Why are Birth control pills
called "birth
control"
pills and not
"conception control" pills?
QUESTION: Who does the family
planning, the husband, the wife, the
husband & the wife, or, GOD?

III-
Who is the AUTHOR and what is his
background?
Mary and I
have
been married almost 50 years, have three married
sons and six grandchildren. Folks, over our many years, we've
walked in many of your shoes.
Presently
and for many
years we have
been involved
in business
ownership and
business management. Leading up to retirement from
industrial and construction management, my primary
duties and focus was that of industrial and
construction site management reorganization,
productivity and profitability. As I look back
over my my calling in
the Pastoral Pulpit Ministry that my ministries have
been primarily that of Church Family
reorganization and establishing and / or reestablishing
the Biblical foundations of the local Church Family
ministry. Two verses of Scripture send
terror through my soul:
Psalm 11:3, "If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
Luke 18:8b,
"... Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the
earth?"

IV- A man's life will demonstrate what he believes in his
heart.
AUTHOR'S DOCTRINAL
POSITIONS I
invite you to thoroughly compare my convictions
with the Word of God.
Added
February 23, 2009 an URGENT FYI concerningc3
tax exemptions. Due to our nation's and
the world's financial distress, 501c3 Church Ministry
tax exemptions are coming under serious scrutiny. Church
leadership
and her membership
need to take immediate
action.

VI- DIVORCE AND DIVORCE/REMARRIAGE
AND THE WORD
OF GOD
Are you married and struggling? Are you
separated,
divorced and
struggling? Are you divorced and remarried?
Perhaps
you're considering
separation, divorce
and divorce
/
remarriage. Of the folks visiting this site, the vast
majority are
divorced and are considering
remarriage. And, a growing number of folks
that are divorced
are living with someone as a
trial, "pre-marriage". Over 51% of the
21st. century
church
membership is divorced and
over 43% of
the divorced
membership
is remarried and
both
scenarios are
climbing exponentially. Because "confession" is not "repentance" and "divorce" is not "death",
what are we to do? DIVORCE AND DIVORCE/REMARRIAGE
AND THE WORD
OF GOD -- is extensive,
thorough (135 pages plus) and is used by many Christian college students, Seminaries students
as well as
Christian leaders,
Pastors, Missionaries and everyday Christians. Many
unbelievers
also
reference
this work and
contact me
for counsel
because the truths concerning the sanctity and permanence of
marriage are
equally applicable to Christian believers
and non-Christians,
alike.

VII- Please allow me to share many of my PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
with you.

VII- ENCOURAGEMENT to
PASTORS/SHEPHERDS.
Added
February 23, 2009 an URGENT FYI concerningc3
tax exemptions. Due to our nation's and world's financial distress, 501c3 Church Ministry
tax exemptions are coming under serious scrutiny. Church
leadership
and her membership
needs to take immediate
action.
The
Fundamental Christian church has scorned, scoffed and condemned the
Roman Catholic Church for "ABSOLUTION".
Are we now guilty of the same sin, Christian ABSOLUTION?

VIII-
three ongoing CHURCH FAMILY
wars
The following
"GRAY TABLE"
outlines
three
ongoing
church family wars
that from:
(1)
MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD,
(2)
PERSONAL
OBSERVATIONS & experience
AND
(3)
CONVERSATIONS WITH PASTORS, LEADERS AND
MEMBERS,
THE following three WARS must be stopped!

War
#1
in
greater detail
page The Divorced and
Remarried Pastors, Leaders
<<page
and Membership war!
According
to the census for North Carolina, Union County has the lowest divorce
rate, 7%, and the highest marriage rate at 64%. I am amazed and,
frankly, due to the attitude and practice of the Union County Pastors
and church family leaders that I have spoken to, I am afraid that this
God honoring statistic can not be sustained. And, why not?
Concerning Church membership, one Church leader said "we don't
care if you've been married and divorced ten times."
Another said, "our Assistant Pastor is divorced, and, he isn't remarried,
yet." A Pastor said, "we have some divorced and remarried in our
membership just as we have other members who are disobedient to
the Word of God in their lives." More recently, a
pastor angrily asked me, "Why did the Apostle Paul command the
"unmarried" (divorced) to remarry?!" [a verbatim quote] All
four answers
indicate that God's commands concerning the sanctity and permanence of
marriage isn't highly esteemed by the Pastor or Church leaders, and, even more
attention getting is that they are indicating that
willful disobedience to God's known will isn't to be feared.
Reader, willful disobedience results in "un-heard" prayers:
John
9:31
" Now we know that God does not hear sinners;
but if
anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will,
He hears him."

page the Opposing worship services
<<page
war
"the
contemporary worship service"
versus
"
the traditional worship service"
My
wife and I have been in these church FAMILY worship services across our nation,
and, we don't just feel the tension, we've had church family members
explain to us in "no uncertain words" their
frustrations.
question:
When
did Sunday worship services become Sunday music and entertainment
services? Reader, there isn't a First Day of the week music and
entertainment service recorded in the entire New Testament. In
every occasion mentioned they met to hear the teaching of the Word of
God. Pastors are ordained to preach the Word, not entertain?
[The following is from the Amplified Version.]
2
Timothy 4:1-2, "I CHARGE [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His
kingdom. [2] Herald and preach the Word!
Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable.
[Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.]
And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching."
Small and large congregations are
divided and doctrinally strong members are leaving over music and not
sin issues (the young in opposition to the old & the old in opposition to the
young). Shame on us.
1 Corinthians 1:10,
"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among
you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment; but in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
[18] For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part, I believe
it." [1 Corinthians 11:17-18]

page The King James only
war"
Today's date is Friday, January 13, 2012
Question:
Similar to the present, 2012, Republican Party's, Presidential
Candidates,
have the KJV Bible only "extremists" forgotten that,
as Born Again Christians,
we are at war with
and
attempting to destroy Satan's power and influence in the world
-- and --
not our Brothers and Sisters in Christ and their witness and
ministries?
I sincerely (not condescendingly) ask
that you to research
many of the "KJV Only" websites
and compare.
My
personal opening statement:
I am quickly approaching the three score and ten ( seventy year)
distinctive age
mark. There are three shelves in my study that have many worn out King
James pocket and study Bibles. In fact, I carry a KJV
pocket Bible with me where ever I go and have -- my entire adult life.
In October of 2009 the KJV
Bible only the war spiraled
"out of control" when a North Carolina Pastor announced that
he and fourteen (14) members of his fledgling church were going to burn
all other Bibles. Web
news and news agencies as far away as Africa, along with hundreds of
other web sites and news agencies in the USA and around the world, reported that a USA
Church was going to burn Bibles!
Are the KJV only
extremists
in violation of the Word of God,
1
Timothy 3:16a
“And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness….”

personal experience"

The following
verses of
Scripture are keys in understanding our approach to life (the
world),
ministry (the Church) and the Word of God.
Genesis
1:1-3
"In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
[2] The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the
face of the waters. [3] Then God said,
..."
Genesis 1:31
"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it
was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth
day."
Genesis 3:17
"Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you shall eat of it
all the days of your life."
Romans 5:12-6:2
"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned-- [13]
(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
[14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
[15] But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
[16] And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
[17] For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
[18] Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
[19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.
[20] Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
[21] so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[6:1] What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? [2] Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in
it?"
Acts 17:30
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent,
1 John 5:4
"For who ever is born of God -- overcomes the (the sins
and ungodly powers of the...my addition) world.
And this is the victory that has overcome the world
-- our faith."
2 Timothy 3:16
" -- {Genesis
1:1 - Revelation 22:21...my addition) -- is inspired by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction,
for training in righteousness"
Proverbs 30:5-6
"Every word of God is pure -- {Genesis 1:1 -
Revelation 22:21...my addition) -- ; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
[6] Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar."
Psalm 11:3
"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
Luke 18:8b
"..... However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find
-- faith -- on the earth?"
Questions:
"How are you?"
"How can I encourage you?"
