Hello
and welcome to Passion for
Truth Ministries. I’m Jim
Staley. It is my heart’s desire
that you will be challenged
and transformed through the
materials and resources that
are on this site.
It is our belief here at Passion for Truth Ministries
that when we interpret the scriptures
from the original Jewish and
Hebraic backdrops of the authors
themselves, what arises is ONE
simple, unified message and
understanding of each theme
of the bible that can then be
aptly applied to our daily lives.
If our focus is on applying
the Word to our lives today,
many times we miss the true
meaning of the scripture, and
in turn misapply it to our lives
as well. Focusing on understanding
the Hebraic background of the
Old Testament and comprehending
the Jewish framework and mindset
of the authors of the New Testament
forces us to get rid of our
bias’ and accept the plain meaning
of the text from the authors’
point of view. For examples
of this point of view,

We believe that their can only be ONE true interpretation of
a scripture. And while not all
scriptures will lend themselves
easily to discover that one
interpretation, we hold to the
belief that it is much more
likely to lay hold of the Truth
when we peel back 1900 years
of church tradition and man-made
doctrine and let the authors
themselves speak from their
Jewish and Hebraic cultures
and backgrounds that they each
held.
So, with that in mind, there
will no doubt be conclusions
on this site that you will strongly
disagree with. I encourage you
to search the scriptures yourself
and ask yourself why you disagree.
And if you can prove without
a doubt your position from the
scriptures, I will be more than
happy to retract anything that
is on this site. Our only goal
is to find the Truth and to
pass it on to as many people
as possible. There is no other
purpose and no other mission
but to glorify our Creator through
His Truth, adjust our lives
and character to His, and to
spread His Truth to the utter
most parts of the earth.
Thank you again for visiting
and may God bless you through
the knowledge of His Truth.
Our Story....
For the past 6 years, my wife
Cheryl and I and our four girls
have been on a spiritual journey
of discovery that has led us
to a place of deep appreciation
for the scriptures in a way
we never dreamed possible.
You see, I grew up Catholic
till the sixth grade where,
thanks to my faithful grandparents,
I heard the gospel for the first
time at a Christian youth ranch
in Kansas City. From that
moment on, my spirit was awakened
and I found myself in various
pews of non-denominational churches
throughout most of my teenage
and adult life. Cheryl,
on the other hand, had a much
more stable foundation growing
up in the same Assemblies of
God church her whole life.
But all that “stability” would
change in one evening service
back in 2001 at the church we
had both attended for the past
10 years.
