(Summary by Bronwyn Kate) No Trash, Just Truth! - Proverbs 9:10 Ministries Chris Paxson & Rose Spiller Weekly, 30-45 minute episodes of Christian, Biblical Truth! No false teaching, no watered-down theology! It's time to take out the trash!! “Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10 Ministries is dedicated to getting rid of the lies of false teaching and believers being dumbed-down with watered-down theology that is being pedaled as "Christian.” To comprehend and appreciate who God the Father, Jesus the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit is, it is necessary to study the Bible; both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and live under its total authority. When we do, we see real life transformation happen!
