F.I.S.H. is an acronym standing for "Fellowship for an International Scripture Heritage." It is one of several ministries of FellowHelpers To The Truth, Inc., a non-profit organization begun in 1982 under initial endorsement of Spring Creek Missionary Baptist Church in Benton, Arkansas. F.I.S.H. Ministry utilizes on-site missionaries to receive and distribute Bibles and New Testaments on various mission fields, as free-will offerings make copies of the Word available.
Be a Fisher of Men! Helping to spread God's Word Internationally is a mission that needs all of us! How can you help?...... Prayer: We need your prayers, include us daily as you speak with God....... Support: Free Will offerings is the financial life blood of our operations. One time donations are wonderful and monthly donations are fantastic!..... Involvement: If you have a burning desire to share your talents, contact us and we will help fan that flame!
We are Baptist people seeking to be helpful to the Lord’s churches and works both at home and abroad. We identify with the ancient Waldenses, Paulicians, Donatists and others who have stood in the hedge and filled the gap as a succession of true churches from the time of Jesus and the apostles. The true churches of the Lord Jesus Christ are the “Pillar and ground of the truth.” The truth is the Word of God, the “faith once delivered to the saints.” It is incumbent upon us as God’s people to propagate His Word as foundational to individual lives and the continued growth of His churches. To this end we both pray, and labor in fields that are white already unto harvest. Furthermore, to this end we encourage others to get involved in prayers, financial support, evangelistic and teaching activities.

The FellowHelper
FellowHelper is the first part of our corporate name of FellowHelpers To The Truth, Inc. Shortly after the start of this ministry a hard copy newspaper named “The FellowHelper” was sent out four times a year to over 8,000 recipients. It contained information on all the works and ministry being done by the workers of the organization. In today’s era of technology “The FellowHelper” has evolved into this website that is available 24/7 not only providing information on works and ministry being done but a repository full of riches can be found in the Library section and hopefully insightful sermons and series discussion in the Video section. FellowHelpers To The Truth is an organization of God’s people going about the work of helping God’s churches in multiple areas. We have among our people so much talent just bursting to reach out and bless us. If you need our help contact us, If you want to share your talents join us, If you want to support us please contribute in the Donate section, If you believe it is God’s will, pray for us! -

PATIENCE AND PRACTICE![]()
![]()
We live in an impatient, fast food, I-want-it-right-now society. Someone recently mentioned that there are too many “Microwave Christians.” We want everything fast: fast spiritual growth; fast answers to prayer; fast solutions to our problems.![]()
Does anyone dare to mention that God doesn’t work on men’s schedule? David pointed out that Moses never got to enter the Promised Land during his lifetime. Because of his sin, God told him he would see the land, but he would not enter it with his people. So he viewed the land from Mt. Pisgah, and soon thereafter God gently took his life, and buried his body. ![]()
Now run the clock forward 1400 years. When Jesus was transfigured on a mountain in Galilee, who shows up by his side? Moses and Elijah. So Moses made it to the Promised Land after all. Just not the way he expected.![]()
Our prayers may not all be answered before we die. But isn’t no answer an answer? That reality may be a disheartening fact until it is remembered that God is not bound by time. Believers see a tiny sliver of reality. God sees the big picture in all the minute details, and he knows how the past, present, and future are woven in a perfect tapestry of divine design. So while we pray in the present, God is already at work in the future, and sometimes the answer comes after we are in heaven with the Lord. But what may seem “late” to us is right on time in God’s schedule.![]()
Microwave Christians get impatient with God when he doesn’t run the universe to fit their schedule. But he has shown in creation that the things that endure take time to grow. Flowers bloom today and wither tomorrow, but mighty redwood trees takes centuries to reach maturity. In the 18th century William Cowper captured this truth in a hymn called "God Moves in a Mysterious Way." The last three verses remind us not to judge God by human standards.![]()
Just as Moses finally saw the Promised Land, we too will finally see many positive answers to our prayers. Some will be seen on earth; others in heaven. When the time has fully come, whether on earth or in heaven, He will make it plain, and we will see that all His plans have worked out for our good and His glory. The challenge is to let patience have top priority. Don't try to rush the Lord. He won’t be rushed, and if we try, an upset stomach may be the least of undesired rewards for impatience with the Almighty. ![]()
Remember Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”
A BIBLE DESCRIPTION OF SPIRITUALITY![]()
![]()
Among those who are dedicated followers of Christ Jesus, there is a common desire oft expressed and somewhat diligently sought. It is to be a truly spiritual disciple. Accordingly, men turn to the devices of flesh in the pursuit of greater levels of spirituality. Those things do indeed generate a considerable amount of religious activity: greater offerings, more determination to wear a clean mind and abandon common carnal thinking and doing. Many such activities may be commendable, but it is also possible that in spite of some laudable activity, spirituality is being sought in all the wrong places.![]()
![]()
God’s people should be aware of a certain passage of scripture, and they should put its suggested activity into action. I refer to I Corinthians 14:12, “Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.” What a marvelously simple, but profound idea. Look at it more closely:![]()
![]()
1. “Zealous” means to be boiling hot as in an obsessive pursuit.![]()
2. “Spiritual gifts” means possession of recognized spirituality so bestowed by the Lord.![]()
3. “Seek” means to earnestly diligently search.![]()
4. “Excel” means to do excellently, far above the average.![]()
5. “Edify” means to build up, to enhance reputation.![]()
6. “Church” means the saved, baptized, called out assembly of the Lord Jesus Christ.![]()
![]()
With an understanding of the meaning of the terms of this precious verse of scripture, we may restate it in amplified terms in the following manner: “Even so ye (you, plural) are boiling hot in desire and pursuit of spiritual gifts that you and others identify as coming from God, earnestly, diligently search out ways and means to do much more than the average disciple to build up the reputation of the called out assembly of Jesus (the church) as a spiritual institution in the community.” What a wonderful, practical way our Lord has chosen to elevate one’s spirituality. ![]()

Every church member ought to be so engaged.
SWIMMING IN THE “ISM’S OF LIFE![]()
![]()
Someone once said that if one knew and understood all the words in the vocabularies of all the languages of the world, he would know everything. Well that is an over simplified view the importance of words, but underscores what should be their prominence to everyone. There is much to be said about every discipline in each stage of one’s educational progress including post-graduate work. To be sure, math, science, history, psychology, medical and journalism is important, but the one thing they all have in common is words and their meaning, and that underscores the foundational prominence of words. They are to be learned for in them is the stuff of life.![]()
![]()
An interesting study of etymology includes words in three divisions: root-words, prefixes, and suffixes. These allow various shades of expressions to flow easily through the human mind in assembling sentence expressions in thought, verbalization, and in written forms.![]()
![]()
One such often used suffix is “ism.” One may think in terms of fatalism, narcissism, skepticism, alcoholism, colloquialism, theism, cultism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and on and on. The idea of “ism” attached to a noun indicates a “distinctive system of belief, cause, or theory” according to reputable dictionaries. It may also designate an attitude or belief system that is narrowed discriminately to convey restricted ideas from one person to another for clear understanding.![]()
![]()
Politics of the world are full of “isms.” As any political survey of systems embraced by various nations will show. There is Capitalism, Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Nazism, etc. In a long-ago article attributed to a teacher in Mississippi the differences in those systems on a practical, local level was expressed in a humorous way, but one that is very easy to understand. It went something like this: Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk. Fascism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows. Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow. Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one and buy a bull.![]()
![]()
How marvelously different is the platform of Christianity. It is not an “ism” The truth of God’s Holy Word far outshines any idea the world may embrace to the contrary. The arresting words of Jesus in His marvelous Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7 speaks directly to the heart about life, light, and purpose for everyone. It doesn’t fit the mold of any earthly “ism” founded by men religiously or politically. Jesus said, “The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63. ![]()

Are you basking in His wonderful words of truth?
THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD![]()
(EXAMPLE OF LITERARY PERFECTION)![]()
![]()
Writing comes easier for some folks than it does for others. However, that is not to say that it is a piece of cake for anyone. Writing well means rewriting, rewriting, rewriting. From the pen of the most able and prolific authors flow mistakes, misspellings, grammatical errors, poor word choices, and poor syntax (word framing) that leads to misunderstanding. There are many reasons why long lines do not form of authors flaunting examples of literary perfection. Yet, there is one and such an example does exist. The author is God and the example of literary perfection is the Holy Bible. Think about it!![]()
![]()
Someone once said that Jesus’ pencil did not have an eraser. He never uttered a word of nonsense, made a mistake, used the wrong word, or offered an apology. He did so much in His short earthly ministry that the apostle John said if they were all written down, the world might not contain all the books it would take to record them. John 21:35. The one example of Jesus doing any writing at all was His writing in the sand such words as brought conviction of unrighteousness on a hypocritical group set to stone a poor woman while shielding a guilty man. They were right words. They were powerful words.![]()
![]()
Additionally, it was this same God Whom Jesus was that did something much more astounding with words. He inspired some forty different human authors who lived in different times, spoke different languages, and came from widely different backgrounds to write sixty-six books over a period of some 1500 years that are collated into what is commonly called the Holy Bible without a single contradiction or error. Copies of those ancient autographs remain the single-most compilation exemplary of literary perfection.![]()
![]()
Minute errors of translation from the ancient manuscripts into modern languages have been detected, underscored and noted through the years, but that is attributable to the inability of men to cope with the extreme difficulties of recording ideas from one language to another. Such does not diminish the literary perfection of the autographs or the ancient manuscripts from which translations come. No other literary work speaks to the creation, sin, fall, redemption, history, code of conduct, or future of mankind as does the inerrant, plenary, Word of our Creator which in literary perfection presents all the information and instructions that men need to be prepared to meet Him one day as each one surely will. Accordingly, wise owners of this perfect Literary collection keep it dust-free by frequent use. I hope you are a wise person! ![]()

In the end what is important to you is what you believe since it governs your actions, but you cannot believe what you do not know. Therefore, to seek knowledge from the one literary perfect, Holy Writ should be priority One for each of God’s children.
