Where we stand on this matter

The following is a series of correspondences that serve to reveal our stance on the matter and circumstances regarding Ari, Diamond and baby Elijah


11/26/17

Be it Known,

James 1:27 says “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” In Matthew 25 we find a clear directive from Christ Jesus himself exhorting His sheep, (followers), to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, take in the stranger, visit the sick and go to the imprisoned.

The ROC (Rathdrum Outreach Center) is an outreach ministry that is Christ based and bible believing. We take the directives and ordinances of God very seriously as we minister to our community, surrounding communities, those in other States and even other Nations. The ROC is a storehouse unto the Lord and we have been blessed to provide food, clothes and sometimes shelter to people in need. We also take seriously the commandment Jesus gave when He told us to love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and Love thy neighbor as thy self. We also believe that Accepting, tolerating and enabling immoral and unnatural behaviors does in no way display love, that Real love, God's love works to deliver people from such sicknesses all the while enduring the rage and backlash from a reluctant, rebellious and deceived world.

This all being said, we here are settled in the belief that it is the responsibility of the church, the body of believers in Jesus the Christ child of Nazareth, to care for the social welfare needs of our communities. By ordinance of the highest authority have we been directed to do so. These ordinances do we adhere to not by direction of, nor fear of man but by the reverence, fear and love we hold for our heavenly Father, His Son and His holy spirit, and because by virtue of the kingdom principle that the things of God are freely received and freely given, there are no requirements put upon the people to receive. When money and the reverence to it is absent so to, it seems, is an avenue for corruption and lust for power to take root, therefore nothing is for sale, we cannot sell God, His word nor His gifts and we refuse to prostitute His holy Spirit.

This is the family environment that Ari, Diamond and baby Elijah belong to. Diamond has been part of this family for over five years and Ari for nearly two. This is the family environment that Ari, Diamond and Elijah belong in. When Elijah was taken he wasn’t just taken from his parents, but from us all, his entire family here at the ROC, and we want him back.

Sincerely,



Brenden Biggs

Pastor of the ROC (Rathdrum Outreach Center)

God is on the move.

Hello family

As you know Diamond and Ari are in a battle to have Baby Elijah returned to them. As we have expressed ; in our hearts Elijah was not only taken from them but from his church family. Yesterday it was plainly discussed in our ministry time how it was not the job of the government to exercise control for care of the children of this nation who may or may not need it but that it was the responsibility of the body of Christ to care for its own, in the Lord under all that is good and Godly. Surely God is on the move in this situation. I just got off the phone to a Mr. Colton Boyles. He is an attorney who has decided he needed to take this case. He has spent time in prayer about it and today asked his church body to pray for this family. What is really encouraging is that he wants to go into the court with a show of force by the body of believers that will vow to help and support Diamond and Ari on a daily basis if need be. It is precisely what we discussed should happen. The Lord spoke it to him independently.

We are committed to this and invite you the rest of our family in the Lord to join us in this. We have a chance to reveal to the world what the body of Christ will do for its members. We have been presented an opportunity to be the gospel in power that overcomes the world; not just speak it. I believe God has been speaking these many months preparing us for this. If you are willing to help please contact me and consider coming to the hearing tomorrow morning. It will be held at 8am at Juvenile Justice center 205 4th St. Couer D Alene ID. Or at the very least let me put you on a list as a committed contact with names and numbers.



God bless you all



Brenden
