“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
[Prov. 1:7, Bible, NKJV]

For a more complete blog on theological subjects written by an experienced pastor that is completely consistent with the content of this site, please visit the following affiliate member’s website. He is a degreed pastor with a PhD in Theology and over 40 years of ministry behind his belt and he agrees with everything on this site and is often a reviewer and editor of our materials:

Nike Insights, Pastor Brook Stockton

We try very hard on this site to stick to facts and evidence that is admissible in court and stay away from opinions that are inadmissible as evidence under the rules of evidence. By “facts”, we mean things the GOVERNMENT says are facts, and not anything we say or believe. Hence, most of our blog articles avoid political rantings and opinions. Our favorite saying on this subject is: “Opinions are like assholes: Everyone has one and they all stink, INCLUDING ours!“. There is already WAY too much political diarrhea found elsewhere and we want to be different from all the others in that respect. If you want opinions or even “advice”, you are in the wrong place.

Whatever approach or policy we have towards any contemporary subject always derives directly from the laws of God (Form #13.001) and the positive laws of man and from no other source. We want our approach to every subject to be guided ONLY by the laws of God (Form #13.001) and man’s law and leave NO ROOM for Pharisee hijacking (Form #05.047) of any subject for personal gain. This approach is not commonplace and requires continual study rather than mere presumption (Form #05.017) that usually damages people. That disciplined approach to education and study towards every subject is how we get to know who God is, because the Bible says God is law (John 1:1). The most instructive book on the subject of how to apply God’s laws to everyday society is found in The Institutes of Biblical Law by Rousas John Rushdoony and it is our favorite book. We can’t properly act as agents and fiduciaries of God under His law WITHOUT taking this approach as documented in Delegation of Authority Order from God to Christians, Form #13.007.

WELCOME!

SEDM is an entirely Member sponsored charitable religious ministry. We depend on your donations to maintain and improve our site, and to have resources to serve all of you.

THANK YOU to our valued Members and Member Subscribers. You are very appreciated. We work hard to earn and deserve your trust. Your participation, contribution, and constructive feedback is what allows us to fulfill our important mission and be a meaningful and relevant catalyst and force for good, empowerment, inspiration, and hope in an otherwise lost and dark world.

If you frequently use this site or find our work valuable or useful or rare, please consider donating to our worthy cause. Very few others we have found even come close to our high standards of scholarship, credibility, evidence, and quality. That is why we had to create this site to begin with because: 1. The subjects we cover cannot be found anywhere else on the Internet; and.. 2. We couldn’t find anyone who met our high standards of court admissible evidence upon which to base our beliefs. This site started as a repository for our own detailed research on the subjects it covers and blossomed into a ministry to lovingly do the same thing for all Truth seekers.

WEBSITE UPDATES HISTORY*: Click here for the website updates history. You must be a Basic Member or Member Subscriber who is logged in to view the list of site changes. Our SEDM Resource Revision History, Form #01.009 also has a complete revision history of every document on this site. This will save you tons of time finding out what changed and when it changed.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT METHOD: PERSONAL CHECK

Our Bookstore lists credit card as the only available payment method. HOWEVER, we also permit personal check. To use Check as the payment method:

Enter the items in the cart that you want.

Go to the last step of checkout without actually paying to determine the Order number and total.

Complete a check with the Payee field blank for the amount listed in the almost completed order.

Scan in BOTH sides (FRONT and BACK) of the check in high resolution color, preferably as a PDF but you can us JPG format if you don't have a PDF scanning program. The resolution of the scan should be at least 300 Dots per Inch and preferably 600dpi COLOR, NOT black and white. Scan with a bed scanner and put the cover down or place a heavy item on top so the check is completely flat when scanned. DO NOT use a wand scanner or a smartphone picture, because they distort the image. "FOR" block should indicate "Donation" with the order number next to it if there is an associated order. Email to sedmorders(AT)runbox.com.

After we have successfully deposited your check, we will email you an order confirmation and a link to download your item. Normally it takes at least two days from the date we receive your check via email to receive the download link in your email inbox.

LIMITATIONS:

We can accept checks from only USA (not U.S.) banks. No foreign checks.

Sorry, but money orders or cashiers checks NOT accepted.

The payor on the check and the person ordering the item in the store need NOT be the same, so long as the payor gives you permission to pay from his/her account. If we don't receive an email with an image of the check within three days of the time you placed the order, we will automatically cancel and delete the uncompleted order. Please be prompt. This is the ONLY notice you will get about how to submit the check in payment so please take careful notes. THANKS!
