What do we believe?
Whole Wheat is a non-denominational ministry with the goal of helping people learn how to study their Bibles, and apply God’s word and God’s Way’s in their every day lives, using the example given by Jesus Christ. Whole Wheat International is not affiliated with any church or church doctrine.
We believe, as we are told in God’s word, that Christ is the church and that the body of believers, who live like Jesus Christ gave them example to live, are that church. He is the Head of the church and His true followers (Col. 1:24; Eph. 5:23; John 15:8 AMPC). Jesus came to start a spiritual church. Everyone who belongs to that spiritual church must live a spiritual life for Jesus every day by overcoming, like Jesus Christ gave them example and told them to do (Rev. 3:21).
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that worship of Jesus Christ is done in spirit and in truth, which does not require going to a building but living a righteous and holy way of life each day to honor God, using our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice in God’s service, which is our spiritual service of worship (John 4:24; Rom. 12:1-2 AMPC). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that you should study the Bible to show yourself approved by God and look up the Scriptures given, proving to yourself what is being said (2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in the Bible, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came in the flesh and died for the sins of mankind (Matt. 16:15-16; John 10:33). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior means living a whole new way of life, not living to the flesh any longer, with its evil passions and desires, but rather, living to the Spirit, which is living by the Will of God, committing all our ways to be a blessing to the Lord (John 14:23,24; 3:36; 1 John 2:29). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture reveals, that by living this new Way of life and making a commitment through baptism, following Christ’s example, we are obeying Christ and will then have our sins covered by His blood (1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 1:6-7; Acts 26:20 AMPC; Luke 3:8, 10-11 AMPC; Acts 2:38 AMPC). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, we are to imitate Christ, as He imitated the Father. We are to talk as He talked, walk as He walked, being a servant to others, following His example and bringing glory to His name (1 Pet 4:11; Matt. 20:28). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, those who are His servants obey His precepts, follow His Way of life (Way of righteousness), and live by His Will, overcoming evil by doing good daily. We believe, as told in God’s word that this is demonstrating, by our deeds, our repentance daily and allows us to become new creatures in Christ, putting on Christ’s nature and leaving our old human nature behind (Eph. 5:1; John 14:6; 11:26; 3:36; 1 Pet. 4:2 AMP; Rom. 12:21; Acts 26:20 NIV 1984; 2 Cor. 5:17 AMPC; Gal. 6:15 AMPC; 1 John 3:10 AMPC). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in the Bible, that God in heaven sent His Son Jesus Christ, to show us how to love one another, overcome the world and be servants of the most (John 3:16; 15:17; Rom. 13:10; John 16:33; Matt 23:11; Mark 10:43). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in the Bible, that showing love to one another and to God is living charitably, like Jesus Christ gave us example to live, in thought, word and deed (1 Tim. 1:5; 1 John 4:7-8; Eph. 5:10). Learn more.
We believe, as Scriptures tells us, that living charitably is putting others first and not keeping track of wrongs committed against us by others. We are commanded by God to love our enemies and do good to them as Christ, our example, was even kind to ungrateful and evil men (1 Cor. 13:5; Luke 6:27-28, 35). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in God’s word, that in doing all we do, in thought word and deed for the glory of God, practicing godliness each day, we are in the process of perfecting and maturing in all of our ways, disciplining ourselves for the purpose of godliness and becoming spiritually fit (Col. 3:17; Matt. 23:11; Luke 11:41; Matt. 5:43-48; 1 Tim. 4:7 AMP). Learn more.
We believe, as Christ told us, that when we do everything that is pleasing in God’s sight, we are keeping His commandments and doing His Will. Then we know we will receive what we ask of Him (John 9:31; Luke 8:21; 1 Pet. 2:15; Rom. 12:2; 1 John 3:22). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in the Bible, that living our lives to be pleasing to the Lord daily is easy, pleasant, greatly rewarding and life-changing (Matt. 11:30; Prov. 13:21; 15:29; Job 5:20-27; Ps. 37:4). Learn more.
We believe, as the Scripture reads, that we were created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, planning and preparing a path for us, that we should walk in (Eph. 2:10 AMPC). Learn more.
We believe, as told in Scripture, that you cannot earn salvation by good works, because it is by grace we are saved and is a gift, however, as a result of this gift we are to demonstrate our repentance daily towards God, which requires a life of good works; living lives consistent with and worthy of repentance, therefore, proving to be His disciples. This is how we show our gratitude to God and is our moral obligation, therefore fulfilling the purpose for which God created us - to do good works and good deeds, so people will recognize God in us and bring glory to His name (Eph. 2:8-10; Acts 26:20 AMPC; John 15:8; 1 John 2:6 AMP; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Peter 2:21; Matt 5:16 AMPC). Learn more.
We believe, as the Bible tells us, that He sent His Son, as a physical example, to show us and prepare a path for us to follow, so we could overcome the world, as He did, by doing good and living a life of serving others (John 16:33; Psalm 37:27; Phil. 2:6-8; Mark 10:45; John 13:15). Learn more.
We believe, as we read throughout the Bible, we are to be zealous for good deeds, an example of good deeds and ready for every good work, knowing God is glorified when we do good deeds for Him (Titus 2:14; 3:1, 14; Matt. 5:16). This life of well-doing is called the Way of righteousness in God’s word, and it defines how we are to live daily before the Lord (Matt. 21:32; 2 Peter 2:21). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in God’s word, that putting Jesus’ words into daily practice in our lives are the directions for repentance and eternal life (John 12:49-50; 8:51). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that how we love and serve God proves whether we are His disciples and sets His true disciples apart from those who claim to be (John 15:8; James 1:22; Tit. 1:16; Luke 6:46; Jer. 4:22; Ezek 33:31,32; Matt 7:21-23). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that as God reveals His word to us, we should obey it (Luke 6:47-48, James 4:17; Rom. 12:9-21, Deut. 27:10; Ex. 24:7). Learn more.
We believe, and are commanded in God’s word, that no one should add to or subtract from Jesus’ words (Rev. 22:18,19; Deut. 4:2; Mark 7:7).
We believe, as told in the Bible, that pure religion undefiled is serving those in need on a daily basis for God and keeping ourselves unstained by the world (James 1:27). Learn more.
We believe, as Scripture tells us, that Christ will return to this earth and that we will stand before Him and be judged by our deeds (Rev. 20:12). Learn more.
We believe, as we are told in Scripture, that we are to stir up by way of reminder, the truth that Jesus came to teach, so that those He is calling may be provoked and stimulated to more love and good deeds and are encouraged to persevere. That through this encouragement, and continual reminder to study and apply God’s word, living out His Ways in their lives, they may become converted and prepared to meet the Lord, having overcome the flesh and put on Christ’s nature, therefore becoming pure of heart and able to recognize Christ, their Lord, when He returns (2 Pet. 1:13; Heb. 10:24 AMPC; Matt. 18:3 AMP; 5:8 AMP). Learn more.
This is what we believe.

The Purpose of Whole Wheat
Whole Wheat exists to make ready a people prepared to meet the Lord (Luke 1:17). In order to prepare people, they must know and understand God’s word. They must know what God’s Will is so they can do God’s Will in their lives and not be foolish (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 5:17). This is so they can walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects and build godly character (good fruit) by making all their works or deeds good before the Lord. Whole Wheat is also helping people to increase in the true knowledge of God from studying His word (Col. 1:10).
The Whole Wheat is for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness. How can you equip yourself for every good work without studying the Bible, when it is God’s word that explains what these good works are (2 Tim. 3:16-17)?
Whole Wheat is constantly provoking others to more love and good works (Heb. 10:24). It is constantly telling those who believe in God to be careful to engage in good works and that good works are something they must learn to do (Titus 3:8, 14).
We are admonishing others to be examples of good works like Jesus was and to know God’s pure doctrine, which gives you dignity (Titus 2:7).
We realize there are many in the world’s churches who remain worthless for any good deeds. As a result, they continue to live detestable and disobedient lives before God and therefore, deny Him daily, because they are not living like Him daily. Yet, they profess with their mouths that they know God (Titus 1:16).
Through Whole Wheat, we are helping others to become doers of His word so they are in a saved condition and do not remain deluded (James 1:22). We are telling others to help those in need, whether they be orphans, widows, or whomever they are, because this is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of God (James 1:27; 1 John 3:18-19). We know that only the people who do good for God daily are of God (3 John 11).
So, we are busy making wheat out of tares—whole wheat—disciples of Jesus Christ who are complete. The tares are those that look similar to wheat, or God's people, but simply those who never become doers of God’s word (Matt. 13:24-30; Ezek. 33:32; Rom. 2:13). They are also referred to as goats in Matthew 25:33 and 41.
We know that many have given their heart to the Lord and asked Him to be the Master of their life. They have accepted Jesus as their personal Savior. Many say that they have been born again and that their sins have been covered by the precious blood of Jesus. Some were baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, while others were baptized in the name of Jesus only.
All of this means nothing if you don’t become a daily doer of God’s word by being a servant to others for the glory of God. Unless you are putting to death daily the evil deeds of the body and crucifying the flesh with its evil passions and desires, you have not received the true message of the gospel of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:12-14; Gal. 5:24). There is more to being saved than just thinking you are saved (Luke 6:46).
Have you worked out your salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12)? Have you counted the cost (Luke 14:28)? Have you put your hand to the plow (Luke 9:62)? Have you experienced being weary in doing good for others yet? It’s a wonderful feeling (2 Thess. 3:13; Gal. 6:9). Are you a mighty servant of others for God (Matt. 23:11)? Have you overcome the evil pulls of your nature by keeping Jesus’ deeds (Rev. 2:26)? Do you study God’s word on a regular basis? Have you received a love for the truth (God’s word) so as to be saved (2 Thess. 2:10)? Are you seeking or have you sought God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind yet (Matt. 22:37)? Are you relying on man to tell you the truth or are you being inspired by a man to go to God for salvation and to His word for the truth?
You will only know that the truth is the truth when you practice the truth towards others by serving them (John 3:21; 7:17; Matt. 23:11).
All of man’s problems come from living inward—for self (Deut. 12:8). Jesus came to show us how to live outward lives by learning to be servants of others (John 13:15, 34-35).
God is waiting for many to become doers of His word so He can begin to bless them, change them and give them His new nature (Gal. 4:19). He wants to give us His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). If this is not true in your life now, it can be if you prove that what you read on this Whole Wheat website is true and then put it into practice in your daily life (Ps. 106:3; Ezek. 18:27). Now you know the purpose of Whole Wheat.
In His service,

What Does it Mean to be a Whole Wheat?
The Story of Whole Wheat's Founder
Ron Brown knew he had been chosen for a special purpose from the time he was a young boy. He saw a vision in the sky he would never forget and would point him on a path of seeking the Lord. For over forty years he would devote his life to God’s Ways and seeking out the truth of God’s Word and sharing it with others. He studied the Bible with perseverance and dedication, like he had for nothing else in his lifetime, literally eight to twelve hours a day almost every day of the week. He was a devoted student of the Lord and teacher.
He knew there was more to God’s Word and God’s Will than just accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. In his many years of study, the Lord showed him many things, including:
His purpose in life
How to be set free from religious captivity
How to have his sins forgiven and live the blessed life
How to imitate Jesus Christ and live by every word of God
How to grow in godly character
How to have peace and contentment
How to receive answered prayer
How to have success in life
How to be a friend of God
How to prosper and have hope for his future
How to receive eternal life
He began writing hundreds of articles, exhausting the subjects of the Bible. He was incredibly passionate and driven to share what God had revealed to him, because it changed his life. God used him in many ways, as he traveled all over the country preaching at churches, conventions, Bible studies, on television and in various groups. He met with many ministers of varying denominations and they were always shocked, amazed and flabbergasted at the truth he shared with them. They could not deny his message was from God.
Through all of his travels he met so many different people in all parts of the world. They wanted more information, and a newsletter became a way to reach them. This newsletter was designed to help people live for God with the ease and simplicity that God had shown him. While pondering what to call the newsletter, he recalled an incident that had left a great impression on him:
One day, a special man praying over Ron, whom he’d never met, was given an awesome and prophetic vision. As the man went to lay his hands on Ron, he suddenly jumped back and said, “Are you a minister of God?” Ron replied, “Yes, I am.” The man had felt the power of God’s Spirit in Ron. The man approached Ron again and looked up as he lay his hands on Ron. He expressed what he saw in a vision….sheaves of whole wheat. He saw many loaves of whole wheat bread stored up. He said, “The bread is stored up waiting to be given to the people.”
Ron reflected on that prophetic vision and realized it represented all of the carefully researched Bible studies he had written over the years, with God's inspiration, stored up ready to be given out. He knew then that the newsletter would be called “Whole Wheat” (Matt 3:12). He published the newsletter for many years writing God’s wonderful and life-changing truth. His wife Karren, wrote articles for a column devoted to women in the newsletter. It has been sent all over the world to reach thousands of people over the years.
Suddenly, in 1997, Ron passed away. Our family was left to continue the work he began; helping others by publishing this website and continuing to publish the Whole Wheat newsletter, so others can continue to benefit from this life-changing information and in turn, they can share it with others too.
Ron and Karren were zealous servants who were dedicated to sharing this beautiful and simple truth that has changed so many lives. God bless their memory and the legacy of love they left behind for us.
A Letter From Our Founder's Wife
An awesome thing happened to me many years ago. I met a man like David, a man after God’s own heart. I did not idolize this man, but was awestruck at the degree to which he sought God. He was a man who’s greatest goal in life was to know God and be God’s friend. God had given this man other talents he could pursue, but he laid aside these physical desires to do the Will of the Lord, to become God's friend.
God gave Ron a special role in life, to minster and teach others how to imitate Jesus Christ. He searched the Word of God and wrote daily, for many hours, to accomplish this. I knew wherever Ron was, he was serving the Lord by serving others. I had complete trust that was always true.
Doing the Will of the Lord was the greatest joy of Ron’s life. Teaching others to serve the Lord, was His second greatest joy in life. He searched the heart of the Lord daily, to help himself and others, serve the Lord more completely. He depended on God’s Spirit to inspire, and tell him, what to write and speak to help others. He spoke of almost nothing else, than that of God’s Will and Ways, and the revelations that God had given him to share.
I loved Ron because he loved God so much. He imitated Jesus Christ, in all his ways.
The thing that made Ron the happiest was when those he taught, to live to please God daily in all their ways (words, actions, and thoughts) were blessed. That was God’s stamp of approval that they were living the abundant life.
He was simply pleased if God would grant him the privilege to teach other men, revealing this mystery to the world as a witness. He did this all with humility, that came from years of pain and suffering, testing and trials, which, were necessary so God could make him ready to teach those whom He would call in the last days. However, God did show me, at one time, that Ron would not always physically be in our midst, to teach and encourage us.
Let’s learn today what God wants us to learn, through this special man God has put in our lives for our good and salvation. This is God’s special man, a man after God’s own heart, Ron Brown.
His wife,
Karren
