Our mission, our foundation, our declaration

This is the core everything else we teach flows from.

Our mission

Bringing hidden truth into the light

There's an abundance of confusion in the church and in the world — teachings twisted for profit, truth diluted for comfort, and error left unspoken because it's easier to stay quiet. One Truth Ministries exists to bring what's hidden out into the open, and lay it next to God's Word so the difference is easy to see.


Our foundation

There is only one truth

That's the whole foundation of this ministry, and it's a simplifying one. Culture offers a hundred competing versions of what's right, what's loving, and what's true — but Scripture doesn't bend to fit them. When everything is measured against one unchanging standard instead of a hundred shifting ones, most of the confusion just falls away.

This isn't about picking truth as one option among many. It's recognizing that Scripture has stood up to scrutiny for thousands of years in a way nothing else has, and building on that.


The measure of truth

Love God, love your neighbor

Every teaching we produce gets held up against the same test Jesus gave: love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself. A teaching that enriches one person at another's expense fails that test, no matter how it's dressed up in scripture language. A teaching that blesses both parties — that points people toward God and toward each other — passes it.


Our method

Truth placed beside its counterfeit

We don't just say something is wrong — we set it directly next to what Scripture actually says, side by side, and let the comparison speak for itself.

Light

  • Scripture as the standard for every teaching
  • Gifts of the Spirit pointing back to the Giver
  • Truth spoken boldly, out of love

Lesser light

  • Opinion and culture as the standard
  • Gifts of the Spirit elevated above the Giver
  • Truth softened or left unsaid to keep the peace
"I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." (NIV)John 17:20-26
Our declaration

We will not be silent

There is one truth. We will hold everything up to it, place it beside its counterfeit, and let the difference speak for itself — boldly, and without silence.

Every teaching this ministry produces — on any topic, in any season — flows back to this one foundation. It's not one document among many. It's the core the rest is built on.

The founder

About Rick

Rick founded One Truth Ministries out of a conviction that God's Word is simple, sufficient, and worth speaking boldly — not diluted, and not left in the dark.

That conviction was forged through Crohn's disease, cancer, and a head-on collision that put him in a three-week coma — and a cross that filled the sky above the wreckage, witnessed and photographed by a stranger before she even knew whose accident it was. The photos beside this page are from that day. Apart from Christ, Rick could do nothing. Through every one of it, God never once stopped being near.

This is just the highlight. For the full, in-depth story of the life Christ changed — click below.

He has spent years serving alongside local congregations, helping build community through midweek dinners, morning prayer, and Bible study — watching those simple, faithful habits grow into something much bigger than anyone expected. That same conviction now drives the teaching you'll find in this library: plain language, grounded in Scripture, written for anyone who wants the truth without the noise.
