Assembly of the Remnant of Promise REMNANT OF PROMISEand two sticks shall become one — Ezekiel 37

Deuteronomy 25:4

Don’t Muzzle the Ox

If the work has fed you.

Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.Deuteronomy 25:4

Seven hundred years later, Paul carried that verse into the assembly:

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth Yahuah (God) take care for oxen? Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?1 Corinthians 9:9–11

Paul did not invent a new principle. The ox that treads out the grain eats some of it while it works. The household that benefits from the labor feeds the laborer.

Even so hath Yahuah (God) ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.1 Corinthians 9:14

The truth is free

Nothing on this site is behind a paywall: not the Statement of Faith, not the deeper dives, not the blog. We are not selling the gospel. We are asking those who have been fed to help feed the work.

Partners, not customers

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.John 10:14

A partner is a co-laborer. Partners who write with a question get a personal answer where time allows. Partners going through a hard season get the prayers of the assembly. The work is bigger than one person, and partners are how it grows while staying personal.

What your gift does

Every gift goes to Remnant of Promise, a 501(c)(3) with a board that oversees its funds. Twenty-five percent funds the assembly: the books, the Study Bible, the website, and day-to-day work. Seventy-five percent goes back out to the hungry, the homeless, the widow’s broken roof, free home repair, and free tree service where a tree endangers a home.

What we are not asking

We are not asking you to feel guilty or to give beyond your means. There are no countdown timers and no pressure.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for Yahuah (God) loveth a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:7

If you stop reading here, you have lost nothing. The truth you came for is yours. If you would like to walk further, into the books or into partnership, you will be walking with friends.
