About Us
Crimson Ministries comes from Isaiah 1:18, Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. All we do should focus on the reconciling work of Jesus Christ since there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of the blood of Jesus. We seek to glorify the Lord by pointing people to the cross through original Bible-based materials at no charge on our website, ongoing ministry in nursing homes, and discipling of inmates in prison.
The works on the Crimson Ministries site come from ministry in churches, jails and prisons around the world. It is hoped that these lessons and messages can help others in their preparation in leading people to the cross. Most of the lessons are expositional and in exegetical outline form. That means that the primary method of Bible study is expositional, verse by verse study. The exegetical outline is one that reveals the main and sub-points of the book or passage. The outline becomes the place where instruction, quotations and illustrations are placed.
Crimson Ministries is committed to the inerrancy of Scripture and the priesthood of all believers. The Holy Spirit can and does guide every student of Scripture who seeks to understand and obey the Word of God. Thirty years of ministry reveals that all truth is not sourced in this website. The reason there are many quotations from trusted Christians is because God wants us to grow together. Anything of benefit here is because of the Lord working in and through people over the 2,000-year history of the Church. Any mistakes on this website are the fault of the Crimson Ministries staff. All truth found in this site come from our gracious Triune God.
We thank you for the privilege of sharing our ministry journeys with you.
