New Warrior Ministries!

           An Oringinal American  Christian Church!

Called by The Father, to Preach the Son,

by the Power of the Holy Spirit!

Unto the World!

It is our job as Christians to defend the truth and to promote it, it is our job to pray for those who have strayed from the truth so that they may, by the grace of God come back into the fold. Holy Scripture, Apostolic Fathers, Early Church Fathers, Early Christian Tradition; these are the guides like it or not, you cannot simply pick one of the guides and go with it and then choose from it that which only suits your personal taste.

The New Warriors! We are a group that is striving to help bring unity to the Christian Church, what are the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ?  John 17:1 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.

First and foremost we are Christian, We are Orthodox in our approach to God through Jesus Christ; that means we struggle to follow the truth as closely as possible as taught by Jesus the Christ, also by the Apostles who traveled and taught what they learned from the Messiah Himself, also the Apostolic Fathers; who are those who were not Apostles but were taught directly by the Apostles and some of them had even heard Jesus Christ Himself when they were young and wrote down the explanations that they were given by the Apostles, Many feel as if these writers are not important writers and yet two of them; Mark and Luke make up two of the four gospels in the New Testament, neither of these were apostles but learned from the apostles. Next we have the Early Church Fathers who continued the teachings that they learned and expounded them on even more in writing.

We are Catholic, that means we accept the universal church that Christ established and it's original teachings as taught by the Apostles and the Early Church Fathers when the church was one. We strive to walk in the ancient footsteps that gave us the early Catholic church tradition. We are Celtic; our worship tradition is Catholic yet not fully Roman nor fully Eastern Orthodox, we do not adhere to the strict rule of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, we allow for a married Episcopacy and we are of Celtic ancestory. We are liturgical, this is how the church was established.

We are American, we worship in English and we use the culture of Americans yet all are welcome to worship Almighty God through Jesus Christ with us regardless of cultural background.

Do you care at all what our Lord prayed in our behalf or do you prefer to live with your own pride in worship? We do not ask that all join our group, we ask that all come to the truth with one faith and be in communion, one with another as we should be.

If you or your group are not studying the history and tradition of the church to see what truly went on and are just blindly following your own whims, you will answer to Almighty God in the last day, I do not care what group you belong to or how many people are in your group or what seminary you or your pastor graduated from.

If you do not take the words of our Lord seriously, you are in jeopardy of your soul and are walking a very thin line of hope for salvation. 

Did Jesus pray that we would be one as He and the Father are one? He in the Father and the Father in Him and we in them and they in us? If you believe in this message, contact me at any one of the many links on these pages.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner! 

 We have started a brand new discussion group in order to discuss the state of Christianity today and what we should and can do about it. Other topics are also welcome such as; health, fitness self-defense. All topics will be monitored and there will be nothing that contains adult content. Christian love for others' opinions is required, all correction of error will be done in a Christian manner out of love for one's soul. We are all in a different place or at a different level of understanding even though we all love the Lord Jesus christ with all of our heart. Keep this in mind at all times. You may access and join the group at the New Warrior Ministries group.

There is a growing movement of Orthodox, Roman, and Evangelical Christians who have signed a statement of belief and a code to live by according to Jesus Christ. A small part of that statement is just below, the movement is called the Manhatten Declaration, if you are a true believer than please join the movement.  

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the life.

This is a site put together by Father Michael Valentine (Sweet): of the New Warrior Ministries.  You will find my writings under my pseudonym Monk Michael.

The New Warrior Ministries is a ministry developed by me; Father Michael Valentine (Sweet) to bring into unity those who claim the Christ and who are searching for the truth of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ as taught to the Apostles and handed down through the Bishops of the church from generation to generation. We are striving for complete unity of the whole Christian church under the one truth that was taught from the beginning. If you love Jesus christ, why don't you strive to study the ancient writings of the fathers that explained the manner in which the church was run? These things; the running of the church and the manner of worship was not placed into what we call the Bible, this information is held in separate books for those who run the or organize the prayer and worship meetings, make no mistake about it, the manner was prescribed.

A ministry that strives to help you develop healthy lifestyles through proper diet and exercise as well as to teach the basics of self-defense especially to the children who are in a position at their young age to become heavily influenced through force and intimidation. We strive to teach how the love of Christ and obedience to His commands, living a prayer filled life and meditating on the scriptures is the best defense against the attacks of the world. As a mission church our goal is to bring the Spirit, the Mind, the Heart and the Body back into health and inline with Jesus the Christ.

Let us show you how to see our Creator in all of His creation!

There is spiritual guidance, along with health and fitness so that we can go about preaching the word with vigor in the hope that we may prevent either our own demise or that of someone else by some thief and robber who prefers not to work for a living. Keeping in mind always that no undue harm is caused to another human being. Contact me here:

Father Michael.

God just may be calling you to service in these trying times ahead.

THE EPISTLE OF MATHETES TO DIOGNETUS                                     

CHAP. VI.--THE RELATION OF CHRISTIANS TO THE WORLD.

To sum up all in one word--what the soul is in the body, that are Christians in the world. The soul is dispersed through all the members of the body, and Christians are scattered through all the cities of the world. The soul dwells in the body, yet is not of the body; and Christians dwell in the world, yet are not of the world.[7] The invisible soul is guarded by the visible body, and Christians are known indeed to be in the world, but their godliness remains invisible. The flesh hates the soul, and wars against it,[8] though itself suffering no injury, because it is prevented from enjoying pleasures; the world also hates the Christians, though in nowise injured, because they abjure pleasures. The soul loves the flesh that hates it, and [loves also] the members; Christians likewise love those that hate them. The soul is imprisoned in the body, yet preserves[9] that very body; and Christians are confined in the world as in a prison, and yet they are the preservers[9] of the world. The immortal soul dwells in a mortal tabernacle; and Christians dwell as sojourners in corruptible [bodies], looking for an incorruptible dwelling[10] in the heavens. The soul, when but ill-provided with food and drink, becomes better; in like manner, the Christians, though subjected day by day to punishment, increase the more in number.[11] God has assigned them this illustrious position, which it were unlawful for them to forsake.

CHAP. X.--THE BLESSINGS THAT WILL FLOW FROM FAITH.

If you also desire [to possess] this faith, you likewise shall receive first of all the knowledge of the Father.[1] For God has loved mankind, on whose account He made the world, to whom He rendered subject all the things that are in it,[2] to whom He gave reason and understanding, to whom alone He imparted the privilege of looking upwards to Himself, whom He formed after His own image, to whom He sent His only-begotten Son, to whom He has promised a kingdom in heaven, and will give it to those who have loved Him. And when you have attained this knowledge, with what joy do you think you will be filled? Or, how will you love Him who has first so loved you? And if you love Him, you will be an imitator of His kindness. And do not wonder that a man may become an imitator of God. He can, if he is willing. For it is not by ruling over his neighbours, or by seeking to hold the supremacy over those that are weaker, or by being rich, and showing violence towards those that are inferior, that happiness is found; nor can any one by these things become an imitator of God. But these things do not at all constitute His majesty. On the contrary he who takes upon himself the burden of his neighbour; he who, in whatsoever respect he may be superior, is ready to benefit another who is deficient; he who, whatsoever things he has received from God, by distributing these to the needy, becomes a god to those who receive [his benefits]: he is an imitator of God. Then thou shalt see, while still on earth, that God in the heavens rules over [the universe]; then thou shall begin to speak the mysteries of God; then shalt thou both love and admire those that suffer punishment because they will not deny God; then shall thou condemn the deceit and error of the world when thou shall know what it is to live truly in heaven, when thou shalt despise that which is here esteemed to be death, when thou shalt fear what is truly death, which is reserved for those who shall be condemned to the eternal fire, which shall afflict those even to the end that are committed to it. Then shalt thou admire those who for righteousness' sake endure the fire that is but for a moment, and shalt count them happy when thou shalt

know [the nature of] that fire.

From the Heart of Father Michael 

I am writing from my heart regarding the church and the teachings of the church and how I see the status of Christianity at this time, this, as I said is a personal opinion arrived at through much soul searching, fasting and prayer. We are arriving or to be true have arrived at and are passing through changing times as prescribed in Holy Scripture, Israel for the most part has regained her borders, this was prophesied and has now come to fruition. Israel is at the moment of this writing, planning an attack on Iran because of Iran’s nuclear capability and because of the constant vocalized threat of Iran to wipe Israel off of the face of the planet.

We have understood the words of Jesus the Christ regarding the infiltration of evil into the Christian church. We were warned of the wolves in sheeps clothing at the very beginning. So also from the very beginning these have existed in the church. They plagued St. Paul throughout his ministry, he had no rest from those who would deceive the believer by appearing as Christians and would be so convincing as to change the teaching and the very heart of the message that St. Paul had given to them. St. Paul wrote many letters back to those whom he had baptized and also to others telling them to hold to the traditions and the teachings that they were shown when the Apostle was with them.

Early Church Fathers  

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS 

 CHAP. XL.--LET US PRESERVE IN THE CHURCH THE ORDER APPOINTED BY GOD.

These things therefore being manifest to us, and since we look into the depths of the divine knowledge, it behoves us to do all things in [their proper] order, which the Lord has commanded us to perform at stated times.(1) He has enjoined offerings [to be presented] and service to be performed [to Him], and that not thoughtlessly or irregularly, but at the appointed times and hours. Where and by whom He desires these things to be done, He Himself has fixed by His own supreme will, in order that all things being piously done according to His good pleasure, may be acceptable unto Him.(2) Those, therefore, who present their offerings at the appointed times, are accepted and blessed; for inasmuch as they follow the laws of the Lord, they sin not. For his own peculiar services are assigned to the high priest, and their own proper place is prescribed to the priests, and their own special ministrations devolve on the Levites. The layman is bound by the laws that pertain to laymen.

 CHAP. XLII.--THE ORDER OF MINISTERS IN THE CHURCH.

The apostles have preached the Gospel to us from(4) the Lord Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ [has done sol from(4) God. Christ therefore was sent forth by God, and the apostles by Christ. Both these appointments,(5) then, were made in an orderly way, according to the will of God. Having therefore received their orders, and being fully assured by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and established(6) in the word of God, with full assurance of the Holy Ghost, they went forth proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand. And thus preaching through countries and cities, they appointed the first-fruits [of their labours], having first proved them by the Spirit,(7) to be bishops and deacons of those who should afterwards believe. Nor was this any new thing, since indeed many ages before it was written concerning bishops and deacons. For thus saith the Scripture(8) a certain place, "I will appoint their bishops s in righteousness, and their deacons(9) in faith."(10)

There are two paths that we can take, the path you choose in this life  determines where you spend eternity.

THE ENCYCLICAL EPISTLE OF THE CHURCH AT SMYRNA CONCERNING THE MARTYRDOM OF THE HOLY POLYCARP

CHAP. XVIII.--THE BODY OF POLYCARP IS BURNED.

The centurion then, seeing the strife excited by the Jews, placed the body[4] in the midst of the fire, and consumed it. Accordingly, we afterwards took up his bones, as being more precious than the most exquisite jewels, and more purified[5] than gold, and deposited them in a fitting place, whither, being gathered together, as opportunity is allowed us, with joy and rejoicing, the Lord shall grant us to celebrate the anniversary[6] of his martyrdom, both in memory of those who have already finished their course,[7] and for the exercising and preparation of those yet to walk in their steps.

CHAP. XIX.--PRAISE OF THE MARTYR POLYCARP.

This, then, is the account of the blessed Polycarp, who, being the twelfth that was martyred in Smyrna (reckoning those also of Philadelphia), yet occupies a place of his own[8] in the memory of all men, insomuch that he is everywhere spoken of by the heathen themselves. He was not merely an illustrious teacher, but also a pre-eminent martyr, whose martyrdom all desire to imitate, as having been altogether consistent with the Gospel of Christ. For, having through patience overcome the unjust governor, and thus acquired the crown of immortality, he now, with the apostles and all the righteous[in heaven], rejoicingly glorifies God, even the Father, and blesses our Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our souls, the Governor of our bodies, and the Shepherd of the Catholic Church throughout the world.[9]

CHAP. XX.--THIS EPISTLE IS TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE BRETHREN.

Since, then, ye requested that we would at large make you acquainted with what really took place, we have for the present sent you this summary account through our brother Marcus. When, therefore, ye have yourselves read this Epistle,[10] be pleased to send it to the brethren at a greater distance, that they also may glorify the Lord, who makes such choice of His own servants. To Him who is able to bring us all by His grace and goodness[11] into his everlasting kingdom, through His only-begotten Son Jesus Christ, to Him be glory, and honour, and power, and majesty, for ever. Amen. Salute all the saints. They that are with us salute you, and Evarestus, who wrote this Epistle, with all his house.

CHAP. XXI.--THE DATE OF THE MARTYRDOM.

Now, the blessed Polycarp suffered martyrdom on the second day of the month Xanthicus just begun,[12] the seventh day before the Kalends of May, on the great Sabbath, at the eighth hour.[13] He was taken by Herod, Philip the Trallian being high priest,[14] Statius Quadratus being proconsul, but Jesus Christ being King for ever, to whom be glory, honour, majesty, and an everlasting throne, from generation to generation. Amen.

CHAP. XXII.--SALUTATION.

We wish you, brethren, all happiness, while you walk according to the doctrine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; with whom be glory to God the Father and the Holy Spirit, for the salvation of His holy elect, after whose example[15] the blessed Polycarp suffered, following in whose steins may we too be found in the kingdom of Jesus Christ!
These things[16] Caius transcribed from the copy of Irenaeus (who was a disciple of Polycarp), having himself been intimate with Irenaeus. And I Socrates transcribed them at Corinth from the copy of Caius. Grace be with you all.
And I again, Pionius, wrote them from the previously written copy, having carefully searched into them, and the blessed Polycarp having manifested them to me through a revelation, even as I shall show in what follows. I have collected these things, when they had almost faded away through the lapse of time, that the Lord Jesus Christ may also gather me along with His elect into His heavenly kingdom, to whom, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


Jesus the Christ died for your salvation!

There is no other truth to be told!

This site is about the truth, the truth that has not changed since the beginning of creation, the truth didn’t just happen recently or 500 hundred years ago. This is about the truth that has been the same for all time and will never change. I hope that you enjoy the journey.
